General NFS, High Stakes

A few short news updates today:
First of all, I asked Gleb Podkolzin to re-upload his GPI Exoticar XP1, because the first time around, the Zipfile didn't upload properly due to a Database error. My apologies to Gleb for the extra trouble, and to you for not being able to download the car for a few days. It's available now, in todays' Latest Additions list.

Also, veteran NFS4 editor Ben Trapp (aka BMWBig6) announced his return to the NFS editing scene this week. He has a new site, http://www.gearfx.com, has released a new car (2002 BMW M5), and is currently updating all his earlier cars. Absolutely worth a look.

Some news on the next NFS game, Hot Pursuit2:
Earlier this week, NFS Cheats brought the news that two intro videos (a day and a night version) of the upcoming NFS installment are available at CG Channel.
NFSCheats also announced the first Xbox screens of NFS HP2 today; read more about that here.

Lastly, another car theft was intercepted this week. One individual tried to submit one of Sniper's cars, under his own name, with the original readme removed. Not the brightest of moves, considering I'm currently adding Snipers whole lineup to the site myself - what goes on in these people's minds, I'll never understand...

this is a message to Mike:

Mike I HATE THE F-ING POPUP ADS ON YOUR SITE...

I dont have ads on my site....http://wammynfs.shorturl.com

if YOU could please remove those popups? i dont mind the banners but F*** those popups are anoying

he has no control over it - the pop-up ad's pay more for advertising, which is good - it's expensive to host all of these sites.

I know, the pop-ups are annoying, but unfortunately, we have no choice.

What I would recommend is to use Popup-stopper, you can download a free version of that program here.
I made a shortcut to Popup-stopper in my taskbar, and I only turn it on when I'm going to browse any Racerplanet hosted sites, like the NFSGarage here.
