Have you ever watched an organ player in a Baptist church? Those guys
*definitely* have talented feet... :)

I don't know about this keyboard racing stuff. I tried it...and NO MATTER
how I gripped the keyboard, no matter how I turned the keyboard, or shook it
or pounded on it...the car didn't move...

Txl: You have to realize I have put literally 1000s of hours into GPL
and loved every minute of it! <g> With the help of so many hotshoes
and just good guyz on WinVroc I would have never got to these low
lap times!! Tim Wheatley and Graeme Nash are only 2 of so many!!
Thanx to them I learned to race strictly with my hands & thank God
they were nice enuff to help me..
Cheers Thom_j.
Oops an not only guyz! One very special gal too Ms Alison Hines!

I find manual shifting is like trying to rub your head and pat your
belly at the same time. :-)

kootchie" and shake it all about.. hahahaha :-)

I missed the beginning of this thread, but if you're talking about
driving with the keyboard as your controller, that's me!! If I can't
make the arrow keys drive the car, with up as gas and down as brakes,
forget it! I loathe game developers who insist that these aren't
valid keys and won't let me configure them as such!!!!!!
