I have both PP1 and PP2 boards, nothing works. I need to go back to the cab on the side of the street and pull the good CPO, wheel,shifter, and pedal

I got 2 cabs, 3 monitors, 3 board sets 1 PP1 and 2 PPIIs, and if I get the other CP I'll have 3 wheels and 3 shifters.

Haruman, jealous?


Went back and grabbed the other CP, the monitor glass didnt break! Pix of those tomorrow. I also grabbed the other PP marquee, couldnt get the shroud off, maybe tomorrow if its still there.

So let me get this straight.  You dropped one of the games off your truck and left it there?  You even went back and stripped parts and still left the carcass there?  Shouldn't you be cleaning up your mess?

I had this big ---uvula--- -esque retort typed up, but I'll go with this: No, I called the people who pick up big stuff from the side of the road, they told me they would take care it and there's no charge and thanked me for calling it in. When I went back to get the control panel I made sure nothing sharp was in the road and cleaned up what would fit in my car.

DelDOT got the cab that fell off the truck, someone from BYOAC got the second one for free along with extra parts, ( cant think of his name off hand), Haruman got all the other extra parts, and the 3rd one is my ongoing racing cab project:
