: : Buy a Dreamcast (now only $49 new or $39 used) at any Electronics Boutique or Software Etc or Funcoland. Buy SF Rush. Install in a sit down driving cab. Buy a Dreamcast racing wheel to interface the controls.
: : Viola!
: I agree with your approach. However, since this undoubtedly gets the goat of all francophones around the world (including Louisiana and New England), I would like to clarify this little off-topic bit:
: VIOLA - pronounced "vee-OH-la." A stringed instrument very similar to the violin, but larger and playing withing a lower range (a fifth down).
: VOILĄ - pronounced "vwa-LAH." A French expression meaning "there it is."
:
: I believe you wanted the latter. :-)
Ahhh... Thanks for the clarification. It's like when people spell my name Hanson...mmmm bop!
