The seat frame is a great idea, but hey guys, where's the side mount points for stick and throttle? I've been looking for a while for something like this, but it still isn't flexible enough to be modified to cater to flight sim fans like me.I guess I still have to fork out 3x as much for a cockpit frame. sigh.

How come the GTI Cup Racer's link doesn't direct you to the right spot? For me it just puts me into a wierd search engine.

I put in numerous calls to every contact at the company and never got an answer on price. I'm not sure if everyone is away at a trade show or somethinng. I almost withdrew it from the gift guide, based on the lack of response, but the product is so cool I felt it deserved a chance.

All I want for Christmas is a new car, one not made by VAG.BTW, why would I want those tire totes, when my local mechanic gives me tire bags for free?
The problem with VW's "upmarket" move is that only the prices have moved upmarket

Sour grapes. I suppose you'll get a lump of coal to go with the wah-bulance you're crying for.

I just got my GTI Cup slot car set.... If someone had bought this for me as a gift, I would have been in awe. Definitely a must have for the GTi nut...

Ours just showed up at the office today. Needless to say we wasted no time setting it up. We're already putting together an order for more track, including chicanes, changeovers and a snow corner. May pick up a couple more cars too.
