Get the new 2-inch FF Thrustmaster Squint wheel and pedal set. I've found
it got round the well-documented calibration problems with the Timex
Sinclair. The downside is that you can only really use your pinkies on the
pedals (cross-legged - of course) and mine are not sensitive enough for
trail-braking, so I've hit the wall at 1:21.32 at Zandvoort :-)
Cheers,

I will post results after I overclock it this afternoon.

She's heartbroken!
If you want to look around it's on the web and runs on several of the
C-64 emulators. My advice would be "don't", as the memory assisted by
rose-tinted glasses is much better than the reality! It looks pants!
Still, it was nice to see. That, Pitstop II and Super Sprint :-)
Cheers!

Hairpin, in the F1 car
You have come to the last turn of the course. Screaming fans line the
course. The only exit is south.
Remember, you are driving. Be more specific.
You must specify a direction.
I don't know the word "drve".
East of Pits
You are near the entrance to the pits. A check of your tires indicates that
you need servicing.
Nothing happens here.
Where do you want to enter?
You must supply a verb in that sentence!
Pit Lane
You have entered the pits. You stop at the marks and your crew begin
servicing you.
Your team manager is standing here.
There is a wrench here.
There is a sandwich here.
There is a pile of leaves here.
You can't reach it from inside the car.
Such language from a first-class F1 pilot!
What do you want to say?
Talking to yourself is a sign of impending mental collapse.
Your team manager looks at you quizzically.
The pit crew are finished.
I don't know the word "leave".
As you sit here, you lose valuable positions on the track. Good going,
moron.
You re-enter the track. Your sword has begun glowing with a strange blue
glow.
Front Straight
You are now driving along the front straight. Faster cars are passing you
up. You are about to be lapped. The track continues on to the northeast.
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
The lantern turns on, then flickers out. It's battery appears to be dead.
I don't understand that sentence.
Oh no! You have driven into the slavering fangs of a lurking grue!
**** You Have Died ****
You have collected 3 points out of 280. That gives you the rank of Jos
Verstappen On Crack. Would you like to Restart, Restore or Quit?

Really? I have the Frodo C64 emulator & it won't run.. which emulator do
you use? I can't figure out how to get it to run any game that's on two or
more separate files.
That's my name.. don't wear it out!
And Jumpman! And M*U*L*E*! Wooo-hooooo!

Hey, I remember playing that game! ;->
