Never seen many around bar one local one in storage that was absolutely trashed unfortunately. I’ve never been that good at it but I have always enjoyed it. It’s one of the games I play on the horizontal multi cab I have (just don’t like the controls in cab - my friends so can’t change it). You have a fantastic lineup of cabs now I am sure you are going to get endless enjoyment out of them now. Not too much longer and I will finally have some holidays, looking forward to getting some cab repairs done (quite a few monitor chassis rebuilds to do).

The van story is funny, sounds like a close shave, the crazy things that happen eh lol nowhere near as potentially nasty but reminds me of when I collected a virtua cop 2 on a massive hill, got it omto the tail lift and in the van with a mate, turned whilst we shifted something already inside the van to make room and the vc2 had started to roll out on its own, my mate just saved it from falling out and onto the roadside, I was ready to let it fall, no way I was going to be squashed by a falling vc cab hahaha

That is the key to this game. I think most people expect instant results. Because the controls are more complex than most you have to put the time in. It’s like driving a car for the first time the controls can be daunting. But after a while your driving around not thinking about them. This game is exactly the same it just takes investment and time.
