    Just found this in my cousins house. Was mine upuntil i was about 8 then i gave it to him. Looks so retro compared to todays games. All mechanical, no computer bits at all. Im sure this is what makes me such a great driver today! :):)

    I had one of them, it was my favourite toy of all time..

    It wasn't called a Racing Cockpit though, it was called a Tomy Turnin' Turbo Dashboard..!!!!

    haha yes I had one too, I got it out of my communion money IIRC.

    If you held the score counter button thing down halfway, you could cheat. I think the highest possible score was something like 85 normally.

    That ruled.
