DCC Deck update

Hi guys, there’s unfortunately been a problem getting the funding we were going to use to get this first batch of decks done, however they have actually been ordered. A Third Foot have already prepped the art / setup for the artwork printing, the problem is that we need to pay at least 50% in advance before the decks will actually be printed. So, how many people would be willing to pay for...

More details here, it’s a gadget that goes above one of your trucks. I think it must be a gyroscope and / or accelerometer that sends info to the Nokia phone. Somebody needs to go make that for iPhone :)
