    LOL Sim Gloves has a nice ring to it hey, but i bought them of Demon Tweaks in UK via ebay... they are karting Gloves very thin but effective... bought them to protect the wheel as i didnt want sweat and grime to damage the wheels grip material...

    In my next showcase will be the arrival of my PC build... today was a expensive purchase but looking forward to having a decent setup for gaming.

    Cheers on the comments guys - stay tuned for more :p

    Yeah I was watching a vid on steering wheel selection just after my post, and it stated that alacantra and suede wheels should be used with gloves because of the oils in our hands deteriorate the material.

    So I will let you off, this time ;)

    Plus I have been looking at these.

    Yeah, that is why I like the idea of simboots (plus they seem to have a bit more thickness to them than regular sock), or if you had a bit more coin some of these.

    Some guys like wetsuit booties, and looking at the fastrack sim ones again, they sort of look like slippers, I am sure there are probably slippers/slip-on's suitable at somewhere like K-mart or the likes. I am going to have a look next time I go into town and see what I find.

    Some NVidia cards are good enough and have three ports to run triples, but best to have two in SLi.

    Hey Guys back with more Updates,

    Over the last week i been workign closely with Derek Speare Designs on the New CSW panels... They finally arrived and i have the pleasure to shoot a large amount of photos for product display.

    I must thank Derek for the awesome service he has provide to get these out to me ASAP.

    When i received the Button Box's man i was i impressed and it has made the Sim Rig looking even better.

    I will soon get a complete shot of the sim built-up as Fast Track Sims have just sent my Triple Stand from the States and hopefully i ll see them in a few weeks.

    But for now please enjoy the latest photos.
