			Glass windows, 2 seats, an interior mapped LIKE A REAL Subaru 555 SV ...a driver wearing a
			"Patwo Design " T-shirt , NEW designed and mapped HOOD of the car , ( more details) ..and added
			the brakes....

			Version 5.0 update !	

			Well everybody , it was time to update the Subaru 555 SV from it original model and textures
			to a NEW model and NEW textures, I will explain it now !!!
			This Subaru 555 SV is my own car, and I made it in November 1998 , as my first try-out for 
			NFS3, it worked rather well, but due to the limitations of the programs than , we did not knew 
			how to edit and model the car and textures quite well, so I moved the vertices a bit around 
			but not too much or else the textures were distorted, so I managed to remodelit and still keep 
			the textures in the right position !!!! But NOW ................,	
			As I saw a few (illegal) copies of my Subaru 555 SV on the net, I thought well maybe it is time,
			to once and for all , make the REAL Subaru 555 SV, with the real model en real textures on it.	
			And so I did ,I remodeled the car completely, added a REAL Airintake on the Hood , and managed 
			to get the textures NON-Mirrored on the car ! I also changed the loadscreen , and added the 
			Patwo Design production 1999 text, further more , I digitized a video shot of my own DASH , 	
			and managed to get it in to the PC, I haev been drawing a whole day , to remove the steering 
			wheel from the picture, and to put what was supposed to be behind the wheel in to the pic, well	
			after 2 days that was also done, and was the only thing to edit this readme.txt . 	
			I did not alter the performance that much , because it is pretty much as in real life, I timed
			timed a few performances and they are close enough.
			This will be (if there are no bugs found of course) the FINAL update and that will be it !!!
			Well I think I made a very good replica of the Subaru 555 SV, and for a lot of people it is 
			as close as they will ever get to drive one ! So Everybody out there, HAVE LOTS OF FUN with the
			car and also everyone who helped me out, supported me , mailed me and all of that .......	
			
			THANX A LOT !!!!!!!

			 Version 3.3 update
			 New Load Screen updated, color corrections now fixed
			 Subaru Logo added in In-Game Player Car screen, thanks to Stewart Storra


    	 	   	 Version 3.2 update
			 First of all I like to thank all the people that mailed me with Info on the version 3.0 , 
			 That gave a BLUE screen, at first I did not find the BUG on my own PC , but after a
			 week of testing, I turned the car to automatic, and it went BLUE, so we solved it ,
			 Special Thanks to Eric Arrayo , for giving me the FINAL hint to solve it, Thanks Eric !			
			 Well what is new in Verison 3.2 not much except the Bug is fixed, automatic had 7 
			 gears and that is now back to 6, so it is solved.

			 Version 3.1 update
			 I only send a FIX upgrade 3.1 to everyone who mailed me, to get the 
			 car up and running as quick as possible. Version 3.2 is supposed to be FINAL and 
			 available for download .		

			  Version 3.0 Update:
			  First of all I made some changes to the Car Opacity Map due to some blue
			  pixels were coming through when in another color than blue. Fixed that now.
			  Perfomance is slightly improved.
			  The Colors of version 2.0 were not the REAL colors, so changed that , also changed 
			  rangorder for the colors, now Rally Blue Mica is default on top followed by the second
			  Special Version Color Black Mica.	
			  Updated Car Compare.
			  New Car ID nr. 12_00
			  Loading Screen added ( but QFS2BMP is difficult to use because it doesn't make the .qfs 
			                                    the same colors as the .BMP that's known but now the loadscreen
					    does look kind of weird. But anyway it's a LOAD SCREEN.)

			  It's my third edited car for Need For Speed III,
			  My first Subaru 555 was based at the SL600 ,but now I used 
			  the HSV GT, including the missing spoiler of the SL600. 
			  As I must say this one is almost as real as it gets, the Model
			  is good and the texture is better fitting than on the first one.
			  Practise saves time, that's for sure , to build this one it 
			  took only 2 days to build from scratch. It now even includes the
			  World Famous 91-1 sticker on the back. Na Na Na Na Na Hé,leve 91-1.
			 
			  The only thing is that the  Subaru is 4 wheel drive, and my 
			  model is only 2 wheel driven. It's actually my own car, it's 
			  great price vs. performance for 1/5 of the price of a Porsche 
			  you drive as fast,or maybe in wet weather even faster than a 
			  Porsche. 0-100Km/h 5.6 sec (measured).
               			  Driven on the Dutch TT track in Assen , in a test the Subaru
			  555 (production), was just 1 second slower than the 911, and 
			  just before the Ferrari 355, the track was wet due some rain.
			  With Subaru's All Wheel Drive 555 you have a car that looks 
			  a lot like the real WRC (World Rally Car) that Colin Mc Rae
			  drove to 3 victories in a row, from 1995 till 1997. 
			  The Special Version 1998 has the "WRC" Blue (or black) color 
			  and Golden Wheels.
			  If you 've tried hard enough to drive this one it's time to get the other 
			  REAL thing, the Subaru 555 WRC car, also available for Need for Speed 3, 
			  check it out !  (SWRC2.zip

			  If you don't own one at home you must try this one! But be careful, 	
			  driving a 'real' Subaru 555 SV can cause a certain addiction. No 
			  medicines available at this moment other than to buy one.

			  0-100 km/h or 0-60 mph  : 5.6 secs
			  0-160 km/h or 0-100 mph : n/a
                          top speed         : 248 km/h
			   165 mph

Installation		:	  First of all make a new directory in your carmodel 
			  directory and name it S555. That's all dudes....
			  Unzip the file and copy the car.viv file and everything else
			  to the ...\gamedata\carmodel\S555 directory.
			  The File 12_00.qfs must be put in Nfs3\Fedata\art\slides.
