could have a laugh at the price maybe, my mate has done similar with an old kart frame and bucket seat hooked up to Gran Turismo5 on his PS3.
Also wouldn't label it as simulator but waaay more fun than sitting on the couch with a controller!

Each to their own and all that but I think thats an insane amount of coin to fork out to pretend to race something when for LESS money one can actually buy and race a decent bucket and have a real life fun and educational experience.

Edit: I know I'm preaching to the choir here...

Gee Koba, what an arsehole. Im going to buy it now. Just to spite you.


And no, you can't have a go!

untill you fall off and end up on ACC :facepalm: ( with no job and an education worth shit)
much safer to sit at home and pretend to steel cars and run over peds
:yes:




I'd rather spend the money on my bucket!

Lucky you have got a bigger flat now:yes:

Have you got room for the flasher one that buckets4me posted as well:woohoo:


Far to much money spend on something that isn't real

hehe, if we can get it up the stairs then there is!

When we moved nextdoor the landlord actually asked me if we were going to use the spare room as a 'garage' (we've had bikes living in the lounge of the tiny flat before) and she was being serious!

Just don't tell Malcolm....

Yes those two look like they'd absorb a lot of money. And Ironic, as no gamer would ever likely meet them in anything other than pixelated form.

Was she asking in an interested tone of voice or disaproving?
I know Michelle was keen to keep her YZ80 in the lounge for a while when she first bought it.

When my lovely wife moved into one place the landlord had an RS125 parked in her bedroom. She hung some sort of material over it.

After a couple of months I moved it.:innocent:

Nah, she loves me for some reason. we used to have a bike parked in the lounge in our tiny 1 bedroom flat for awhile. They had to do work in the flat one day, we tried to cover it up but it was bloody obvious, she knew. Doesn't care. Best landlord ever!

Yeah, she's crazy that woman. I would've taken it for a ride, blown it up and put it back without telling you.... ;)

Anyway, you can both come and hang out and play and drink beer when I buy this. M can watch.

[F5 Dave]

M likes to watch?:innocent:

Yeah, I know I'd rather be out racing my bucket at 1:30 in the morning in the pouring down rain and sleet than inside in the warmth thrashing around the Nurburgring in virtually any car I could want. Oh no that's right, no I fucking wouldn't.

Sure, on any race day I'd rather be out at the track, if that's not possible then out on the road. But if that's not possible then I might just want to play a bit of GT5, and if I'm going to do that then I might as well do it well.

[F5 Dave]

The local Toy library has a V8 racer seat that makes Vroom vroom noises as you push the pedals, we have it booked for our pre 2yr old.

as for the 1;30 bucket racing; it brings back a story from the deep past when we used to race at Ohakune square every year. approaching midnight when it was just the stalwards holding up the bar the night before (getting in some training) two of the sidecars guys disappeared, which was odd as they were always the last party kind of guys.

This 2 stroke racket enimated from up the street & round the corner came a sidecar piloted by an Arab Sheik & a pantomime Crocodile. They did two laps & left. This couple slide into the bar to take their position again not long after.

Fcuk it was funny.

One of the best times I've had on a bucket was in a howling southerly that was so strong the bike couldn't pull top gear into it and over-revved massively once turned down-wind.
