¶ Introduction
Pimp My Cart was an iconic event at the first ever Week of Madness, so much so that after it was over, we saw many people start to come up with new designs and ideas which are used in carts across Tall Tails even now. The whole project was born from a silly idea from Danna Pearl on a quiet night at the Bit & Bridle, where in a bored state we pondered the possibility of having a carting show where entrants could show off all their unique and interesting variations of the MG Dogcart that is so prevalent within ponyplay.
We had a fantastic time last year and as it was such a spectacular success we have decided to make Pimp My Cart a major feature of the Week of Madness going forwards. So, if you have any fun and special cart designs you would love to show off then please don’t hesitate to reserve a spot.
Who is greatest cart modder? Who has the most ingenious ideas? Let’s find out!
¶ When & Where is it Happening?
Pimp My Cart takes place during the Week of Madness and is the highlight of a series of events that run all week to celebrate the anniversary of the founding of Tall Tails.
A special event platform has been created by Cookie, Molly, and Magic and will be reveal when the event opens.
The Pimp My Cart area is built into the Week of Madness even area.
The Pimp My Cart display pens will be opening at the start of the Week of Madness on 25/05/2025 at 12PM SLT, from this time on members of the public will be able to vote on their favourite carts throughout the week. The main event itself will be held on 31/05/2025, which is a Saturday, and will start at 11AM SLT. This might feel a little early to some, especially those across the pond in the Americas, but on previous years we had a surprisingly large amount of entries for the competition and we want to ensure that things do not drag on for an extreme length of time. It took approximately 5 hours in 2021 for the event to be completed.
¶ How Can I Take Part?
The Pimp My Cart event is available to anybody who has an interest in creating and showing off their cart designs. Simply contact Molly Lacroix either on Discord or in SecondLife and provider her with following;
Team Name:
Cart Name:
Participant #1:
Participant #2 (if required):
Participant #3 (if required):
Do you just want to watch? Well that is even simpler, simply turn up on the day of the event and watch all this carty goodness unfold! Who knows, maybe it will give you some ideas for next time?
Remember that while the main event is at the weekend, voting is open all week so please don't forget to stop by and show your love to the cart designs you enjoy the most.
¶ What Will Happen at the Event?
As mentioned, the event officially opens at 12PM SLT on 25/05/2025. All members of the public are invited to go and browse and select their carts of choice.
The main event will take place on the Saturday of the Week of Madness, 31/05/2025 at 11AM SLT. At this time the main judges will be present and begin to look through all the carts on display to score them based on certain criteria. Some of this criteria will be judged on a personal level and not be objective. All participants must be at the event to answer questions of the judges and demonstrate their cart in acting. A designated proxy can be sent in your place if you can not attend the event.
Based on the above, we will be splitting the awards into categories.
¶ Peoples Choice
This is the vote that will be open from the start of the Week of Madness. Everyone will be able to give five votes to five unique participating carts, and when the event timer runs out the top three Cart Teams will win a medal for their efforts. All votes will be anonymous and each cart will be ranked based on the amount of votes they received.
The votes will run all throughout the week, when you are at the Pimp My Cart display pens simply look for a little Pick Me sign next to the name of each cart, if you click this your vote will be registered. Votes can not be changed, so be certain when selecting your carts.
And for the silly ones out there, you will not be able to vote on your own cart. All votes will be logged and if we feel alt accounts are being used we will take very firm action.
The People Choice medals will be handed out at the event before the Judges Choice awards are revealed. So voting will close during the main event on 01/06/2024. Molly Lacroix will announce to all when the vote will be ending, so keep an eye out and be sure your votes are counted before then!
¶ Judges Choice
Starting at 11AM on 31/05/2025, the Judges Choice will be the main feature of the Pimp My Cart event. We will have three judges on sim who will take a good look at each entry on display and judge them based on pre-determined criteria. Please keep in mind that some of the categories will be subjective to the individual judges and some will be more technical in nature. While the judges are walking around and checking out what is on offer, we ask that members of the team stay with their own display to answer any questions they might have.
Once the judges have had a chance to see each cart the event will move on to the presentation stage. Each team is able to give a speech to the people who have gathered to watch, and then complete two circuits of the track to prove that their cart works, this is an excellent time to show off any unique properties of your cart.
Once all cart teams have had a chance to show their vehicle in action, a break will be had to allow the judges to fully score each cart, ask any questions they may have and then send the scores to Molly Lacroix.
Molly will then announce the winner of the People's Choice and the Judges Choice competitions.
The Judges are:
- Cookie (kayle.littlepaws)
- Danaira (auryss.resident)
- Danna Pearl (danna.pearl)
¶ What Are the Rules?
Well this is the important part, so pay attention! As we intend for the event to run for 3 hours, with some wiggle room for it to run for at most five, we ask that all entrants read and understand these rules. If you have any questions please contact me to ask.
- Only one cart can be entered per Team. A team can consist of one to three participants. A participant can only belong to a single team, and judges can not participant in the judges Choice award.
- Each team must have a team name and a name for their cart.
- Display ponies can be used on your cart. Unless specified on team registration they will not be considered as a part of the Carts Team.
- The cart that is created must come in an unscripted ‘display’ version (this will be used for rezzing in the show area) and also a version that is capable of being used as a genuine carting vehicle. A small track will be present during the event for showing the cart in action.
- Any cart can be used so long as it has been modified from its base design. It must however have a space for one pulling pony.
- A cart must be 100LI or lower. A cart with a higher LI will be disqualified.
- Each cart will be given an 8m x 8m display zone, teams are allowed to decorate this zone as they please but must keep all decoration below 50LI.
- Each Team must be willing to explain the design of their cart to an assembled crowd.
¶ How Will the Judges Score?
It is important for the Judges Choice that we explain the criteria by which the carts will be assessed. Please remember that many of these categories will be entirely subjective to the judges and their personal likes and dislikes, and some will be easier to quantify.
Each category will be judged on a scale of 1 to 10 points.
This means each cart can earn a total of 30 points per judge for a maximum score of 90 points.
In the event that we have two carts with the same score, a tie will be decided by the seniority of ranking both carts had in the People’s Choice vote.
¶ Does the Cart Work?
1: The cart is totally broken and purely decorative.
5: No changes have been made to the base cart other than basic decorations.
10: The cart has multiple new features and unique curios.
¶ Is the Cart Aesthetically Pleasing?
1: The cart is a total mess.
5: The cart has very little to differentiate it from the base model.
10: The cart has a pleasing style and fits its theme well. This is not about a judges preferred style, but whether the Cart team has created something which looks good.
¶ Is the cart an original design?
1: The cart is almost the exact same as the base model.
5: The cart has deviated from the base model but is still recognisable.
10: The cart looks totally unique in design compared to the base model.

¶ Berry Clean
Cart Name: The Bin
We at Berry Clean welcome you to the grand unveiling of The Bin!
Berry Clean have always been keen on keeping the homes of TT clean and dust free but we've been thinking it's time now to focus on the streets too, there has been an increase in the amount of litter on the streets here at TT. Naughty mares (and some trainers too) with too many permissions have been leaving litter and clogging up our beloved sim with trash. We decided to create a fast response cart that can catch the individual responsible and also have room to put the litter in with them too.
So here we have it the newest addition to the Berry clean line of carts.... The BIN!

¶ Cosma Cars
Cart Name: Viking Speedster
The Viking Speedster is a robust all-round coupe. Whether you're driving across the country, traversing the most difficult off-road terrain, climbing the highest mountain roads, or just want to quickly get into town, the Viking Speedster will get you to your destination. The Viking Speedster boasts a rustic look without skimping on amenities. Only the finest wood and leather were used, and attention is paid to elaborately crafted metal trim.
The Viking Speedster is equipped with two cages. One cage in the rear is for a spare pony or maid. A second cage is located directly under your feet for your special pet. A ride can sometimes be long, so you can have your feet pampered or simply have your high heels licked to shine again. In addition to one of the most comfortable seats ever built into a cart, as if you were sitting on your couch at home, several storage options have been thought of. The Viking Speedster has a cup holder for refreshments and a storage area for pony treats, so your ponies can also feel like they're pulling the new Viking Speedster.
Some of the Viking Speedster's outstanding technical features. In addition to a fully equipped lighting system, the Viking Speedster features a speedometer, a compass, and, of course, a vehicle attitude indicator to help you navigate any terrain. A spare tire has also been included.
But one of the greatest new features the Viking Speedster has to offer is a vehicle stand. Are you tired of your single-axle cart defying the laws of gravity? Then the Viking Speedster now has the solution: a stand that automatically retracts when the handbrake is released and extends again when the handbrake is applied.
