I guess this is a Easter egg, near Jonkoping there's a car crashed with the tyre marks on the road. :D

I had to stop and have a look but forgot to take a picture.

That is indeed an easter egg I placed there. Because not always things go right on the road... ;)

Don't ask us for a release date; we don't know either.

I spotted a few other treats like that too... things that make ProMods special.

On occasion, concrete crash barriers placed to protect workers of road repairs have been pushed out of line as though a vehicle hit them. Sometimes you also see gaps in the wall sections (noise barriers?) where one is missing as though it took an impact.

Some of the job drop-off points have been designed by someone who is evil too! "Hey, what if I abandon some boxes just... here? How about a static parked car just where they will need to turn?"

I swear quite often about those :D

As you say it's what makes ProMods so good.

The thing I find amazing is (on some maps) they've placed 'Portaloo's (toilets) right by the roadside at road works. You have to be pretty desperate to use one of those :lol: . Not to mention the risk factor of being hit by a vehicle whilst you're inside it :shock: :oops: .

Hehe.... yes, but right next to the road?!! Maybe a map-modder's wicked sense of humour......

"I know I shouted for a new roll of toilet paper but... thirty tonnes of them all at once? This is ridiculous!"

"Stop shaking the PortaLoo guys! It's not funny!"
*opens the door*
"Un... I thought we were repairing that road in Budapest? Those are the Swiss Alps!"
