Motor City Mod

Well, this was created for myself but as we are all waiting for Automation and all know Motor City
here is something for it to last a little bit longer.
Thanks to the user Goran on the Abandonia forum http://www.abandonia.com/en/forum?url=showthread.php?t=4960
i was able to extend the list of engines and chassis available in the game. He already managed to get the engine count from 25 to 81 using the german version of the game and i have managed to get a total of 153 engines in there
and on top of that bumped the chassis types from 31 to 69.
I tried to be as realistic as possible without losing to much fun.
The original game and the updated from Goran "only" have engines and chassis types upto 100hp which could be fairly realistic, but what about the airplane engines of the old days (450hp monsters with 28000cc) i put some of those in with matching weight and matching heavy chassis types.
Also used some Mercedes engines that where released in 1927-26 and some engines to fill in gaps.
So now it is possible to create a 200-250 hp sports car (that does cost alot to make) and even some supercars with more than 300hp (although due to cylinder volume these cars can weigh alot) Or an 1900 sports car with a massive engine producing 50hp (that was alot those days) and everything in between or more.
Again, thanks to Goran (for showing which files could be hex edited and where to look for) here is a nice mod for Motorcity:
