Description             : The 1973 Lotus Europa Special, v1.0.

Base			: Leviatan's Lamborghini Miura for NFS4

Installation		: Unzip the file, then create a folder
			  named LEur in your gamedata\carmodel
			  directory. Then copy car.viv to the LEur
			  folder.  Then copy the 20_00.qfs to the
			  fedata\art\slides directory.

Installation Notes:	: If you don't install the slide screen of the
			  car (20_00.QFS), the slide screen of the
			  track you've selected will instead appear
			  while loading.
			: If there's already a slide screen image
			  called 20_00.QFS then probably also a car
			  with the serial number 20 exists. In this
			  case, please look at the "IF THERE'S ALREADY
			  A CAR WITH THE SERIAL NUMBER 20..." part of
			  this file (see below).
			: I added FEDATAs English and British to the
			  VIV file, so the car will probably work in
			  these versions of NFS3.

CAR INFO
********
More Lotus Europas were sold than any other Lotus besides the Elan. It
was intended as a successor to the Lotus Seven, a small and cheap car.
The Europa weighed only 612kg. The Special version was born in the
early 1970s and fixed many of the bugs with the original Europa. It
got a new 126bhp engine (compared to the older 82bhp model), different
styling, a chin spoiler, better interior, electric windows, and other
improvements.

PLEASE NOTE...
**************

- ...that if you want to give this car to another person, BE SURE TO 
  ALWAYS COPY THE COMPLETE ZIP FILE INCLUDING THIS README FILE!
- ...that if you want to use this car as the base of a new car, please 
  write an e-mail to me first.


YOU CAN'T FIND YOUR GAMEDATA\CARMODEL DIRECTORY?
************************************************

If you can't find the GAMEDATA\CARMODEL directory in your NFS3
directory, you might have chosen the minimum installation of NFS3
which means that the car files were probably not copied to your
hard drive. But you can add new cars by copying the GAMEDATA\CARMODEL
directory from your NFS3 CD-ROM to the NFS3 directory on your
hard drive and by then editing the INSTALL.WIN file (which can also be
found in the NFS3 directory) like that:

- Open the file INSTALL.WIN into an editor (e. g. NOTEPAD.EXE)
- Search for this line: [CD-ROM drive letter]:GAMEDATA\CARMODEL
- Edit this line to: .\GAMEDATA\CARMODEL\
- Save the file.

The dot before "\GAMEDATA\CARMODEL" is like a variable which makes NFS3
search for the GAMEDATA\CARMODEL directory in the NFS3 directory on
your hard drive.

Now you can add new cars to NFS3.


IF THERE'S ALREADY A CAR WITH THE SERIAL NUMBER 20, ...
*******************************************************

...then the only way to install the Lotus Europa Special is to edit the
CAR.VIV file with an VIV editor like the VIV Wizard. You can download
the VIV Wizard from the NFSDesign web site:

http://www.nfscheats.com/design/

To download the VIV Wizard, go to this web site and select the "Utils"
section there.

Open the CAR.VIV file into the VIV Wizard and give the car another
serial number by editing the serial numbers in the CARP.TXT and the
FEDATAs. Please note that you have to rename the slide screen image
file (20_00.QFS), too. If you give the car e. g. the serial number 46,
then you would have to rename the slide screen image file to 46_00.QFS.

Note: - If you want to see the slide screen image, the showcase, and
	be able to race against this car without picking it, the serial
	number has to be a number between 1 and 49.
      - If you are not interested in the slide screen (the image
	which shows a real photo of the car while loading a race), the
	showcase, or racing against this car without picking it to race
	against, then you can choose any serial number up to I think
	32767.

If these hints and tips don't solve your installation problem, then
please write an e-mail to me.
