A Genuine Carbon Copy: MGB GT
Welcome back to the days of no fuss Happy Motoring.
Ah, the heady, carefree days of driving the quiet highways and byways - smart car and lovely young lady (or man) by your side.
Climb in the driver's seat of this classic, lovingly restored from a few rusting pixels discovered languishing in an old outhouse, and regain your lost youth, or alternatively, experience what your parents enjoyed and had to give up when you came along and made their affording a two plus two coupe totally impractical due to the virtual impossibility of fitting a a baby seat and pram in the back.
The gutsy 1800 cc litre leaded petrol engine utilises the DT vehicle script to achieve 0-60mph in a stunning 12.2 seconds, and the additional scripting provides a large range of colour options. Touch the handbrake, gearstick or sidelights and you will be presented with options to change body and seat/trim colour, swap the wheel style between wire spokes, rostyle, and plain hubcaps, and even turn the lights on to drive at night!
CONTROLS
Up arrow - Forward
Down arrow - reverse
Left/right arrow - steer
Page Up - Change gear up
Page Down - Change gear down
Touch the doors to open/close for easier access. Touching the boot latch will open/close both doors at the same time.
Channel 911 is for additional commands.
Type /911 in Local Chat followed by:
i to start the engine sound;
s to stop the engine sound;
h for the horn;
r to rev the engine
Note: Your AO may clash with the driver/passenger anim so I suggest you deactivate it on getting into the car.
A follow-on to my previous vehicle efforts in SL and a project given as much loving care and attention as I would devote to the RL version. It will grace your driveway and turn heads when you take it out on the open road.
I hope you like it. The other vehicles available are the Carbon Copy Sprite, Carbon Copy Spitfire, the MGB's little sister, the Carbon Copy Midget, and of course the GT's open topped stablemate, the MGB Roadster.
