What a beautiful game
« on: March 16, 2010, 09:02:14 AM »
Being a race nut, the title caught my eye, then when I looked I saw that I have a playfield for this game that I picked up in a bulk lot once, and hadn't managed to work out the game it belonged to.

Thats is a nice looking machine but.  I think nino is right about the price but it would be great if it sells for that

I'm a race car nut as well, this title would look great in my collection, but I agree the asking price is a bit too rich for my blood!!!

It looks very nice for its age. It also looks like a big drainer.
