It's the lying and covering up that makes it worse. You get done for speeding, you get 3 points and £100 fine. You try and cover it up, say your passenger was driving, then you could end up in prison. The lack of shame, elitism and some sort of responsibility is what gets people annoyed.

Well I don't know about you mate, but I see myself as quite up to date considering it's 1986.

Got bad news for you fella, it's the 90s now

Hey I think the CPC version of Hard Drivin is pretty good. I didn't call it 'unplayable' or summarise that it was a 'complete write-off'. Here's what I wrote: "Oh dear. Besides a nice Mode 1 dashboard, this is a hasty port of the Spectrum version (the monochrome graphics and smaller screen size are...

All the best Andrew and hope you all stay healthy
Time to do lots of writing mate

Finally got around to visiting Neon Knights arcade in Leigh-on-Sea with my brother a couple of weeks ago. What a great little place run by 2 great guys who make you feel so welcome.
