-*- Installation -*-

Create a new directory called sthx in your NFS3 directory (Example: 
C:\NFS3\Gamedata\CarModel\sthx) 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 'Spoon THX'. 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 the Spoon THX
on their computer in the NFS3 directory. 


-*- Construction -*-

This a fictional sports car invented by me.
It is made from a modified El Nino. This is of course a hover car and tilts when turning. I have done a fair amont of work getting this car just right and I hope you like it.
Fo this car I:

- I changed the car's body (including, medium and small bodies)
- 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 was originaly making a car based on a trafic car in The Fifth Element, but i thought it didn't look all that good. So I kept editing it, into what you see here today. I think to think of it as a futurist Ferrari, and I think it has the looks.
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 Luke's Landspeeder from Star Wars. I am currently hard at work on this car, which is proving quiet difficult.
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. 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.
