Busy Ben's Needs Fresh Vehicles -- Bring 'em on Down to Oak Grove!

Busy Ben's Vehicle Emporium and Hoverboard Ranch, known throughout Second Life as an unsurpassed purveyor of quality craft at rock-bottom prices, is looking to expand its selection of top-end transportation. Bring you best fully-functional flying, floating, and driving creations to Oak Grove on Tuesday Nov 11th -- Ben's will provide the high profile sales space; you'll provide the cutting edge, self-motive merchandise.

Spaces in the lot are limited, however, and not every vehicle will meet Busy Ben's high standards. To determine which craft represent that state and style of the art in Second Life, a panel of Linden luminaries will convene on Tuesday at 5:00 PST at Busy Ben's sales lot in Oak Grove to review and judge the merch. If your vehicle is deemed superior, you'll earn a spot on Ben's lot to sell your craft -- and you can set the price.

Any chance we can have another of these once we stop messing around with the vehicle physics? I had a plane tuned to fly smoothly and accurately last week, but this week it turns out to be uncontrollable. This really pissed me off, and missing out on this chance to make some cash off my hard work just adds insult to injury.

Ananda, I share your frustration. I decided to offer a free script update on any post-1.1 sales. The hovercrafts I made are perfectly useable, but simply not up to specs. In Ironchef's wording, once the hippos crush the gnomes, customers get a free engine tuning if such is required.

Thought I'd temper my comments a bit. Andrew, you're the greatest, for providing all this vehicle functionality. Last week was a great joy to me, because for the first time I was able to fly in a plane that would take off, fly an accurate course, and land again like a real plane.

What I'm after here is another chance at the prime selling spot later on. Can you give us another week or two to get things right? I'd love to offer people my plane but I don't want to sell something I know isn't quite working right.

I'll be busy updating and improving my motorbike script tonight to get it up to scratch, and I hope to make it to Oak Grove to show it off.
If I don't manage to make it (RL, scripting bugs, bad memory, etc) will there be another chance to get a space in the lot at a later date? I'm working on some interesting flying craft too, but one project at a time lol.
