******* TM GP1 in UK *******

5 posts by 4 people · 20 Oct 1996 - 26 Oct 1996

Has anyone seen the GP1 advertised in the UK anywhere? I'm loking for a cheap yet reasonably good quality steering wheel and most people are speaking quite highly of this new device. More info/pictures would also be nice since the pic on the TM web site is not very good, you can't see the analogue paddles behind the wheel. --------------------------------------- James Lademann IVGA #3949 ---------------------------------------
So, how many people would be interested in gp1's or T2's if I was to import some? No promises at this stage, just want a feel for the level of interest. I would only be looking to cover my costs as I want to get one for myself. Trevor

My friend just got one and he says it is above all his expectations! He says the paddle are really easily accessible and comfortable but it gets tiring a bit to drive with both hands on the wheel... He also says that the wheel is much smaller than you could expect from the picture at TM's web site which is a good thing... Now if I could only finish my homemade steering... :( Still stuck with the joystick... bye, Daniel On Sun, 20 Oct 1996 19:32:22 +0100, Trevor Farrell

I was Given the following company as the UK imported of Thrustmaster goods. When i phoned them up re buying a GP1 steering wheel they said the would have them by the end of October 96 and that all outlets of Game would also be selling them around this time also. Infact the company is only a couple of miles from where i live, so will be popping upto see them this weekend. UK Importer of Thrustmaster products is Contemporary Games on 01778-344-611 John Merrick

Hi, It depends how much you can do it for since it is possible to buy a T2 for around 120 in the UK. Also you'd have to find a decent way of delivering and a way of paying. Other than that it might work. Where are you in the UK anyhow? I live in Plymouth Devon. --------------------------------------- James Lademann IVGA #3949 ---------------------------------------
