G25

I hear what you mean about setting it up, I don't have room on my small desk to have it setup, so it's a pain having to get it out of the box, get it all setup then put it all away, I desperately want a wheelstand pro, but £99

and I'd have to buy a longer HDMI cable from my PC to the TV etc.

Wow, nice product, its a lot for essentially a few poles welded together.

Yeah! I'll try the old ironing board trick, some people use that as a foldaway stand that they can attach the wheel and shifter to

Never heard of that one, how do they stop the ironing board from wobbling?

Is it just me or has there been a hike in the price of this recently? I'm sure it was around £150 awhile ago now its nearer £200

Your right, I paid £155.23 on the 21st of Jan!

Had my G25 for nearly 2 years now. Paid something like £160 off here, and yes it is expensive, but if you really like racing games, it's well worth it. All my mates have been impressed by it, but you need a sturdy solid desk to use it on, a pc trolley on wheels aint gonna cut it.

Good piece of advice: Buy a pair of £2 slippers. Not slip ons, but the ones with a hard sole that fit like a shoe. They work PERFECTLY. Not too big, and the base of the slipper is smooth like a pro driving shoe so you get more pedal feel.

I've got my G25 on a 2 meter wide desk. When not in use, i undo the clamps slightly and slide it over to the left. The pedals just get stored under the desk out the way, but it's all still connected, so it takes me about 20 seconds to set it up. I've also moved the brake pedal to the clutch position as i never use the clutch. It makes it more comfortable with the brake and gas pedal further apart.
