-*- Installation -*-

Create a new directory called shag in your NFS3 directory (Example: 
C:\NFS3\Gamedata\CarModel\shag) and unzip the car.viv file into this directory.

Start NFS3, select the mode you want to play (Single Race, Hot Pursuit, Ghost, Multiplay), 
goto Car selection and scroll down until you see the Austin's Shaguar. Choose
it, and thatīs it.
Start Racing and have a lot of fun.

If you want to play online, or give someone a replay they MUST have
Austin's Shaguar on their computer in the NFS3 directory. 


-*- Construction -*-

This based on the Union Jack painted, 1960's Jaguar Roadster from the movie Austin Powers.
It is made from the Jaguar XK8. This car isn't a perfect recreation of a 60's Roadster but it's still pretty good. It's not perfect because I couldn't find enough info on the exact make. I've tried to make it look original, but the lights were hard to do.  I have done a fair amont of work getting this car to look the part. I think it is just right and I hope you like it.
Fo this car I:

- I changed the car's body 
- I changed the performance
- I created new textures for the car
- I Modified the dashboard
- I created a new Logo
- And a few more things that aren't woth mentioning

I built this car in a fairly short period of time between other project.
I decided that being a Huge fan of Austin Powers I should make a car to honor the film. I could make this car look exact due to modeling limitations, but I'm please with the final version. It's the perfect Car for an International Man of Mystery!
I will at some stage most likely release updated versions with such things as Loading slides(if you know how to do this please tell me).
I'm not sure, what my next car will be but I'm thinking of the Dog van from Dumb and Dumber.
I most likely will stick with fictional cars.

-*- In Development -*-
I am currently working on modifying tracks. I'm working on the 'Spoon Shark' a cross of a car with a speed boat. Unfortunatly the normals campletely stuffed up and I have to move them back into place one by one. I am also working on an upated version of my 5th Element Cop Car. I might start work on The Landspeeder again, so keep your fingers crossed! I'm acually waiting from NFS Editor's next editor, which should let me create better cars.
