"OH SHI- !")So, if you also check the Carmageddon.com board you'll have seen this already, but these boards seem to have more new messages, so hopefully there will be some fresh eyes on the problem. First, though, a little background:
A couple days ago a particularly unwise person said something that reminded me of Carmageddon, and I set out on an odyssey of exploration in the wooly wilds of the internet to see what might be found of the community a decade after I got distracted by something else and fell out of it. (I hit google, and had my answer in seconds: Mostly, you mob are still here and arsing about in the same general way)

3,14,-1,-1 // Right-front suspension parts GroovyFunkRef
6,11 // Left-rear suspension parts GroovyFunkRef
5,12 // Right-rear suspension parts GroovyFunkRef
(...)
