I had the same problem with my wheel FreQ, turns out you can't have another controller in your PC. So take out all other controllers/joysticks and try again  |

Any chance you can remove Project February from the calendar as it makes it hard to see "real" events in the calendar with a Project February event in every day too. |

Dear god!  If I bought that, I'd keep it sealed and wait for it to go for £1200....like that copy of Chrono Trigger yesterday  |

Now, if you had one of the original, 1998 editions (which I have), sealed of course (which mine isn't), then it might be worth summat in 30 years |

Lol. I did have F1GP for the Amiga, but as I gave my Amiga to Gizmo for his "olde" computer collection, if the disk is there he has it. Certainly don't have the box for it. However, I do have a duster and some Mr Sheen, which perhaps you need for your collection? |

I'd be happy to donate my Atari 1040STFM + monitor + hard disk (40MB - ooohhh!). Shame I'm 400 miles north....ah well  . |

However, I do have a duster and some Mr Sheen, which perhaps you need for your collection? I lost count of how many hours I spent on MF1GP  what a game! I had monaco GP on the C64, and a fiend of mine had a Nigel Mansell game for the Amstrad CPC464 which was also superb, even allowed you to mess around with the fuel mixture during the race! No idea why no other games since have had that feature (that I'm aware of). |

Does he have an Apple ][ Europlus though? And an old Grandstand console? Now if only I'd kept my Commodore PET |

No gamer computer though. |

I have a couple of STs (one 'normal' and one Mega 2), Shark's old Amiga, an Atari Portfolio, a Vic-20 (suspect that's the oldest one), a couple of BBC Masters, various PCs back to a 386DX33, and probably some more stuff in the loft I've forgotten about.
I've still got a lot of the disks and tapes for them but I don't suppose many of them are still readable.

Well, back to the topic at hand.
I'm about to do the single scariest thing to the league management system I've ever done - the import of all the actual UKGPL race entries.
If everything goes bang, that's what it was!
