Oh I wound, is my car most American? It have stupid amount power and design suspension like land yacht, or else one?
Alright, i have fixed the mistake with the reliability scores. Only one position shifted (2 and 3), otherwise everything’s the same. Again, apologies for the mixup.
ayyy we took 2nd, very happy with that! thanks for hosting a fun challenge, really enjoyed making something for this one

The car that was the subject of that review came from @Mausil, not @donutsnail.
Anyway, congratulations to @moroza for edging out some very stiff competition for the overall win!
LMAO
nice

I have ideas for TMCC36 but with Steam dead on my new computer, I can’t do much in Automation other than make test mules. Would anyone be interested in co-hosting with me?
Another competition that I haven’t been ranked well, oh well. Guess I should learn not to price it up to the maximum next time. Anyway, congrats to the winner, and thank you to the host for hosting this competition. I really had fun with this, nonetheless.

Alright, I’ll decide within 24 hours. Can I get some input on yalls thoughts and inclinations - or lack thereof - to build something to this brief? I feel it’s specifically appropriate for TMCC because it’s a car to fit a character, with no pretense of mass-marketability. Analogous to the Jaguar hearse in Harold & Maude, it would specifically encourage people to make something cool and stylish that in most comps would be uncompetitive, and therefore rarely built.
Proposed brief
Set in 1992, “Their Royal Lownesses” is to be a comedy film about Runhild Væstland, the governess of the two youngest members of the Syldavian royal family, aged 7 and 8, and her adventures with both reining in their mischief and shenanigans, and her own escapades on her days off. Runhild has considerable clout and influence in the royal family, yet has an important job to do with some hard constraints. She is a car enthusiast with a penchant for souped-up vintage iron, especially of the curvy and swoopy variety, and strongly prefers coupes. However, her job requires at least two compact passenger seats. For safety reasons, they must be rear seats, and the car’s safety performance should be comparable to a modern car. Furthermore, her employers insist that their heirs not be subjected to the indignity of ingress and egress over a tilted seat, and have proper (rear) doors. The resulting compromise: an older four-door coupe body with thoroughly modern mechanicals.

So, like a Zimmer or a Mitsuoka but with four doors?

About that, yeah. The “vintage” part is secondary, welcome but not required (I hope yall know by now that when I say “optional”, I mean it, not a covert requirement). Primarily, I would like to see builds done on these and similar bodies, which only allow compact rear seats. There would be no hard requirement for a body, only for seats (2/+2) in order to level the playing field.

I feel like the most recent CSR gave those of us who enjoy making retromodern stuff their fill, and the fact that most people did not go that route maybe means this isn’t the ideal time for this brief; also, it’s a pretty specific concept that I’m not sure there’s a lot of real world examples of. In 1992 a lot of the retromodern concept stuff hadn’t even come out yet, it was more of a late 90s-early 00s thing. The Zimmer Golden Spirit is the only thing I can think of that matches this description and given three people just made designs inspired by that car I’m not sure how much traction that would get.
(also aren’t you already running something else?)
Actually, the late 70s and 80s seemed heavier on this sort of thing…
…which in any case wouldn’t be mandatory. I’d be happy to see Porsche 989 knockoffs too.
Yes, I’ve got one other comp to finish reviewing, and JOC to complete in a couple of weeks. I don’t look forward to the workload, but I don’t see the brief being viable for any other series.
I agree that it isn’t a brief that fits anywhere else, but I’d really rather you didn’t spread yourself thin across three different challenges as I suspect (and do not take this as a personal challenge) it will not do good things to the individual writing in any of them, that just sounds exhausting. If you don’t look forward to the workload you have the option of not taking it on

To second that, we don’t need anymore challenges taking uhh, months in-between finishing and starting, and months starting and finishing. At the moment most people can’t even finish their challenges. Focus on what you have.
