Description             : The Vector M12.  This is a VERY authentic 
			  replica.  The model matches exactly (see 
			  exactframe.jpg), and much time was spent to 
			  make sure the textures are as realistic as 
			  possible.  Also, the performance was heavly 
			  researched, and includes realistic torque 
			  curve, actual gear ratios, top speed in each 
			  gear, turning circle radius, etc.  Other 
			  values were based on many road tests of the 
			  car.

Installation		: Unzip the file, then create a folder named 
			  vm12 in your gamedata\carmodel directory 
			  (located in your main NFS3 directory)
			  Then copy car.viv and car.fec to the vm12 
			  folder.  Then copy the 44_00.qfs to the 
			  fedata\art\slides directory (you will only 
			  have one if max installation).


			  NOTE: if you get the message: duplicate cars 
		 	      found in carmodel folder, then you have 
			      another car installed with the same 
			      serial number as the M12.  To fix this,
			      open the carp.txt and fedata files with 
			      NFS or VIV wizard and change the serial 
			      number to one that is not used by any 
			      other car.  Then rename the installed 
			      44_00.qfs file to xx_00.qfs with xx 
			      representing the new serial # below 50.  
			      Another way is to just download the 
			      serial number generator, and let the 
			      program take care of it, but you will 
			      not have the M12 loading picture in game.
