I have been off it the last few days. Been busy, plus my racing buddy / daughter signed this pact at school. Sounds like the work of the devil... All her classmates agreed to have "no screen time" from April 28 to May 4. That means no TV, no computers, no video games, etc... _________________
Not that I wouldnt like for others to see my custom car...but hey...game is about racing...and as long as YOU can see your custom car...its all ok...because its your race feeling that really profits from how your car looks...and not what others see....ie...why see a Ferrari when its owner drives as some 80yo sunday driver...and vice versa.... And you also dont get more extra speed for having custom car seen by everyone...
Butttttt...if possible...why not...i mean...others have custom cars that are seen by everyone...so if anyone here (Dr.Feelgood perhaps? ) has any idea how to make them visible...i would be more than happy to have such car, too...
And Dr.Feelgood...all i can say is BE HAPPY for that pact...at least you're able to use your computer 24/7 now...otherwise I believe we all know how it is. (but I must admit that it's a very interesting idea - although i doubt that an entire class would sign it here, and later also stick to what they signed).
So come on both of you, lets have some fun @ TMNF while we can...because soon it will all be back to "normal" (so time for OUR "no screen time" - not because we wished so, but because kids will force us into that).

If a custom server was made, and copies of all the custom car skins were made available on that server, do you think you could see them then?
I did work on making a server... Had the router all configured to open the right ports... Then I noticed a firmware update was available. I hosed everything and wound up with no Internet for 2 hours... - I'll try again when I have my patience back. _________________

lol, yeah I haven't played in a few days since we got Mario Kart Wii on Sunday I need to pick up a gamepad, but not getting any responses from people selling them on forums. doh
Dont know about server>skins stuff. I slightly doubt it would be successfull, because if this theory was correct...then we should all be able i.e. to get skins at some custom server we play...and be able for others to see them too...but thats not the case here...or is it? But it cant hurt to try. And be thankfull that you were only without internet for 2 hours...cause i was without entire system for 4-5 days because of that sata hdd stuff.
So pump up your patience and let me know when the new server is up and running.
And good luck with Mario Kart, borschtBomber[SS]. Just dont forget i still have you added as buddy in TMNF. So, whenever you'll start feeling the need for speed again....just come on over and we'll show those noobs how to drive, ok?
