    Why paint a garage that isn't mine? Waste of money. I'm moving soon I hope.

    It's tidy now anyway. They were just the tools out whilst working.

    Logitech G25/G27 FTW.

    It is streets ahead of the competition in terms of feel and realism. You won't understand until you try one.

    The earlier G25 has the sequential shifter and is very sought after, the replacement G27 doesn't have this function but is still a damn fine product.

    I've used a Logitech a few years ago on a much better rig than mine and it is very good. Having used the Fanatec for the last few days the realism of the feel is unreal. You really need to use one to understand.

    You're missing the point lol.

    I love Logitech kit, I have several items as well, but their wheels are either PC or PS3 only. The Fanatec is an awesome wheel (this is and old model but it's still awesome) and it works on all 3 platforms.

    I have used both, personal preference I guess.

    The nicest feature of the Fanatec wheel I tried was the belt drive mechanism on the wheel itself which gave a lovely feel (not all have this). However I prefered the Logitech in most of the other areas.

    Also if you break a bit of a Logitech product, you normally get a replacement FOC within the week.

    Tonight I've finished screwing the plates down and added the wheels/legs. It's now ready to race!

    OTT?



    Don't worry I'm not really fitting a harness

    Just needs painting now but I'll leave that for when the weather is nicer.
