I havent logged in here in ages, and then something told me to pop by and check up on this thread... thank you Salma Hayek!
Alrightee, I've checked the file out... it is not directly compatible with the english version but the data is there... and after a bit of tweaking I've managed to transfer it into the english version game.stc.
I've attached the zipped file for the english version, the one available here on Abandonia. I believe it is fixed, but I have not yet tested it fully. It should work flawlessly, but there's always a chance something else is still bugged.
The game now has 80 engines instead of 25, just extract the game.zip attached here into the gfx folder of your motor city game.
As soon as I get a chance, I'll look into what those other engines are and their details, if any of you need spoiling.
Thanks for the file mate, have fun!
