Exactly what I was thinking, esp with Klaus there just about squatting over to clean it. I would probably have to go on hands and knees just to wax it!

Shame you can't fit more than probably 5.5's on it

They also made a H16 engine in the 60's Jim Clarke steered the beast to 1 victory but it was a bit of a dog, insane engineering though.

I can't help it! I did grow up with this:



The cars had their own showcase, videos, statistics, photos and you got to drive them in locations from the Opera House to the Himalayan wilderness! I still actually have the game and the manual, the box is long gone though...

And for those feeling even more nostalgic:
