IMPORTANT! This is an expansion for my Type 70 TARDIS. You must have a Type 70 to use it.

Designed and built by James Scripps-Booth in 1913, this unusual car-motorcycle hybrid weighed a massive 3200 lbs and featured seating for three passengers and small stabilizing wheels for use at low speeds. Unfortunately, the design proved far too ungainly to drive, so only one was ever built. It is currently on loan to the Owl's Head Transportation Museum in Owls Head, Maine.

While a commercial failure, the Autogo had many firsts. It was the first enclosed-cab motorcycle, the first vehicle to use a V8 engine, the first automobile with a driver's horn on the steering wheel, and many other innovations.

While the scripts are new, I based the interface on the popular KCP chopper scripts, so if you've used other motorcycles in SL, the controls should be familiar. This form seats two passengers, and includes five skins in three colors.

Installation is a breeze with the automated installer orb. Just rez the orb next to your Type 70, click on it, and in a few moments you're ready to go.

WHAT IS THE TTC?

The TTC (Time Travel Capsule) is a combination flying vehicle, transporter and portable skybox. You can fly it like a normal vehicle by sitting inside and saying "start", or click on its sides and use the menu to pilot. Once you reach your destination, another press of a button rezzes a console room, building platform, or both!

You can also change its shape, size, color and texture from a simple menu system, or use more advanced verbal commands for fine-tuning your unique look.

While I cannot claim time travel, this TTC will take you and your friends anywhere within the sim in grand style. All accompanied by authentic looks and sound effects.

The TTC automatically detects compatible transporter systems and TTC landing pads whenever you enter a new region. If you like, you can also use a notecard to store favorite locations in sims you may not be allowed to leave permanent landing pads. In addition to this, there is a WARP menu that lets you quickly move up, down, north, south, east or west in small increments. You can also travel randomly, just like the Doctor when he installed the randomization circuit to foil the Black Guardian in the excellent "Key to Time" season.

Other features include automated landing, defense circuitry, auto-return, custom destinations, homing beacon, landing platform, console room, two modes of travel and an option to let guests or fellow group-mates fly her.

And now, if you own emDash, you can use your TTC as a portal and poofer, traveling anywhere on the grid!
