Me too! shame there is only the two of us, although GTI is on his way!

I think I can do it i just keep fucking up, I never fuck up when I am behing teh ghost, only when i'm ahead, and normally on teh second corner of the last lap or I go too wide at the last hairpin

I did pull out a 12.72 FIRST lap last night! but then fucked up

what a bugger!the only time i have a prob is when the ghost is directly over me.i cant tell where the front edge of my kart is and i twat the pipes its a real shame dave got banned as well cos he could have made it interesting.as for your ghost fuck ups,thats the common thing most people can drive fine when behind cos they can see what they have to beat and its a goal but when in front you are under pressure of not knowing where they are and go off line wondering about it.

a very old games console. all the games are built in (pong etc). controllers just used to pots you twisted round. no joysticks here. this may (?) have even been pre Atari. Maybe not the very first console, but still, not far behind. Still have the receipt in the box too.

theres a few more here. thought they might be worth a bit more given they are "antique" games consoles. Best hang on to it for a few more years.

you really can see the how much of a difference is it when you have the ghost with you, like if you take a corner slightly wide you see the ghost edge ahead, or if you take a corner better you gain, as said its the pressure of trying to stay in front.

I sometimes get put off when the ghost is slightly behind and your character keeps looking to one side

Left the ghost on for ages and just kept chipping away at the time. You can always see where to improve with the ghost there.

It wasn't a sudden jump, it was probably hundreds of different high scores each very slightly faster than the last.

I never got round to buying a Gamecube. What style was it done in? same as SNES or full 3d like on Mario Kart 64- which I didn't think was as playable as the origional.
