don't know what the Muscle Car is but they have postponed to 1.4 to be announced and I always like people to be the monkeys on new patches and updates....I will not be one of the 1st people to update new patch....I like feedback first....

They said they will announce but their plans have been delayed for further review of the patch..

Patch is available - I'll take care of the server this evening at the latest - the other admins that have access to the server are aware as well - Currently the server is still on 1.3

Will this require us regulars to update ours?

Absolutely. But if you do that now, you wont be able to connect to TTP untill we get the update loaded on the server - may take a few hours - like this evening to get everything going.

Will keep you posted - but I'd go ahead and DL the client part...

Anyone played the new map yet?
