Welcome to the, slightly earlier than normal, release of the 16th Members Choice Pack!
As usual the above vehicles may be available new or second hand in the classifieds, as appropriate, from time to time! All players can access these vehicles. A big thank you to those that have contributed towards getting these in-game!
As you may have already seen, members can now advertise vehicles for up to four weeks at a time! This means less work selling cars in the classifieds and it does work out slightly cheaper per week of advertising.
The finish date of the next members choice poll will be moved back to the 17th April due to holidays. In future, I am thinking of launching a poll about the possibility to increasing the time between members choice polls to allow other content and features to be delivered sooner.
At present my ability to deliver other content, features and tools is more limited due to the time taken and frequency of the vehicle packs. I do however very much appreciate that everyone will have different preferences and ultimately I'm just trying to strike the best balance! So keep an eye out for that to have your say!
With the Job Centre offering the ability to do much more in the game, there has never been a better time to join! Every penny makes a difference and it only costs from as little as £1.99 a month! (when paid yearly)
Don't miss out on the full experience!
Welcome to the release of the 15th Members Choice Pack!
As usual the above vehicles may be available new or second hand in the classifieds, as appropriate, from time to time! All players can access these vehicles. A big thank you to those that have contributed towards getting these in-game!
The following vehicles have been chosen by members to inspire the vehicles of the next Members Choice vehicle pack!
And the bonus ball results...
The following vehicles are recognised as being nominated on at least three unsuccessful occasions and one of these was randomly selected to be added as part of this car pack:
And finally the bonus ball result is:
1984-1996 Leyland DAF/Freight Rover/LDV Sherpa/200/400 Series Van 2.0D
A special thanks to everyone that participated in this poll!
The next poll will go live shortly and will be found in the General section of the in-game forums!
Members can now have up to 30 news items, up from the standard 15, for the in-game News feed! Further improvements will come in future.
The game has finally hit the second funding goal! However, this is in part due to a "temporary" boost by two annual Diamond memberships (a big thank you for those!). This means that whilst the goal has been hit at present, this funding level is by now means guaranteed going forwards since annual memberships provide a great cash injection, but they are of course annual rather than monthly. Both are valuable and much appreciated but for different reasons!
In the longer term I hope to automatically calculate the current income, where annual memberships would be calculated as if they were split across the year for more balanced income tracking!

It has come up a few times now at least, so without further ado...
When a Diamond member submits their own vehicle for inclusion into the game, they now have the option to have first refusal to that vehicle for up to one month. They will have the choice to be the first to buy their vehicle and as soon as they have it will be unlocked for everyone else.
The vehicle will appear in a new 'Offers' -> 'Special Reservations' section of the classifieds that will only appear if you have a reserved vehicle available. If they do not buy it after a month, the lock will release automatically for everyone else to buy it!
The submit your own vehicle page within the support section has now been updated to cover this and other situations in a more detail. This perk is limited to Diamond members for now as it was time consuming to implement and will require some additional on-going effort. I will review this in time but please note that more perks are coming for other tiers too!
This feature does also bring us closer to potential inter-player trading however...
Following on from the above, a new vehicle will soon begin appearing in-game. The 1998 VoltPogen Transfer MPV! This vehicle is currently serving as a test bed for the above feature and will initially be limited to a Diamond Member. Once they have bought it, or a month elapses, whichever is sooner then it will start becoming available for everyone else!
Following the recent changes to the head to head system, a few weeks ago I released some changes that improved the winning odds across all three difficulty levels. I intend to review the effects of this in time but ultimately, I'm hoping this change will have at least brought it back on par to how profitable it was before the tweaks that were made in December!

Other changes, including those that were delayed from before the Christmas break will be coming soon but you will need to bare with me as I catch-up after the holidays!
