what was the name of that game?

This game really reminds me of this game, I forgot the name but it was a car fixing game.

In that game, you could strip a car almost completely bare, repair the pieces, and re-assemble them.

There were 2 'game-modes' - one where you got a car with some problem from a customer, and you got a certain price for fixing it,
and another where you bought a car from the scrap-yard, fixed it up entirely, added a turbo charger, and auctioned them.

Ah, the memories, I'm such a melancholic sod...

^ Make a shortcut to GHG.exe and make the properties \Gearhead_Garage\ghg.exe -mustbehere -nosound.

Make sure the game is fully patched 1st (It may work without them but I haven't tried). It's working on Vista Ultimate using this, just can't alt tab.
