Do not use the T_player car, make new cars then use the export/inport
feature to add your desired paint scheme to this car. Note, you will
have to rename the .pcx dump to your new (player created) name. Check
your /nascar dir. Now send each other the respective cars created.
Next, make sure you are using the Multi list of course, and both have
the same exact lists except for the following:
Host (Person Answering) - their car first and opp.'s car next.
(Person Dialing) - their car first and the opp.'s (host) car next.
Hope this helps!
