    Yeah, it used to. Very short gearing mean it was quite quick-acclerating.

    You need to make the second story be able to come off completely.

    People on my Discord server would already know about this :p
    I forgot to mention it in the first post, but all panels outer will be removeable. See that frame underneath the panels? That's going to have its own JBeam structure, and then have all of the body panels attached to it.
    The roof is one piece, apart from the front of it. You'll be able to rip it off, as with the window pillars down the side.

    im just saying what I read..


    So that's what's happening with the other two. TL;DR - Blackfoot is pretty much dead, and Twingo will always be an extremely occasional side project - and won't be released any time soon.

    I didn't say anything like this, I do agree with you that the blackfoot is amazing, but sadly it will be on hold for a while because the creator is working on a bus now.

    It's not completely dead. It's just dead for now.
    But please don't talk about that car in this thread.

    Ooh, nice idea! I love these plasticky, boxy buses of the 1990s. So charmingly soulless, which makes me destroy one :p

    Why Plankton as the brand-name, though? It sounds too similar to Plaxton. I would call the brand Overton or something like that.

    Soulless? Go stand at the back and listen to that turbodiesel i6 roar)))
    Seriously though, these buses have more soul than new econo-shitboxes of new era.

    in the toilet not on because nobody sits on the toilet anymore we as humans have been sitting on toilets for many many years and we need a change so its time to start sitting in toilets instead of on
