So, almost a month now... I'm guessing the tale has met it's end?

One can dream though, I still have hope but not much.
I don't have any update to give you.
I believe the game was taken under false pretences from what I have heard, still all assumption and allegedly at this time, and the game has been scrapped.
I've heard nothing since nor am I involved in any discussion or communication around it.

Any idea if there was money involved?
I'm genuinely curious as I offered them a lot of cash for when the day came where they no longer wanted it. They still had my details so if it was given as in.. given to them under false pretence then that is absolutely awful on both ends!
I heard early on that it was scrapped so I don't doubt it is scrapped. The MX5 has probably been sold for a pretty penny as the shell is basically a brand new car and MX5 owners would go crazy for a new shell.
As for the PCB's and other hardware... All i can think of is it's just a ransom situation. You aren't going to do a lot with it outside of the actual cab.
I rarely hope this, but i hope those PCB's fail on him to be honest. Deserves some karma...

It's not even a ransom situation if the person involved is avoiding all conversations and is off the radar.
The entire outcome has no positives, and makes utterly no sense.
Sometimes people just do things like that

Good point... I wonder what the reasoning behind being such a d**k is then? Strange person.

Would 'leaky roof' mean the sky in the back garden?.
So it's scrapped, but it's not...but it is.
Well, sounds like NVM were dragged onto the same merry-go-round of bullsh*t lunacy as well.

Not to harp on NVM too much but this statement really annoys me. How about the fact it's the last one in the world? It's a truly one off, unique piece of arcade history? Why would this even be a discussion... idiots. Sorry but that's just stupid. I can understand the logistics though for such a large machine.
Well that's just lies as Alpha had pictures of the machine outside, in the wet and in a very bad way. Leaky roof my a**. Not blaming NVM on this btw it's the guy who got his hands on it, he just spun a web of lies to everyone.
If the PCB's were indeed water damaged too then that's a wrap I guess.
Location? the local scrapper? As it was stated it was scrapped... right? Whoever this guy is, is a complete idiot. He undercut me and others who could have preserved and restored the machine under the false pretence of it going into a museum.
Tempted to call the leisure company i know and ask if it was given to this idiot or if he actually paid anything for it but I'm sure they don't need the hassle. I'm sure they have had enough calls about this.. Their intensions were good it's just a huge shame they were sold a pack of lies.
If he got it for free thought and did this to it. Well...
(I'm joking i'd never promote violence over a video game haha. But the guy is a pr1ck for sure)

Hi everyone, I've recently moved house and have been clearing out the garage (last owner had left it full of stuff) and I have found parts from a Ridge Racer including a car. I've read what had happened to the machine and didn't know if any of it was salvageable and if anything could be done with the parts. I haven't finished clearing the whole garage but it certainly looks like only parts remain - no structure.
Thanks
Jamie

Bloody hell! Whatever it is, if it’s parts of Full Scale then it needs saving (and I’m sure some of us will do our best to help). Is the same Full Scale or another one?!
Got any photos?
Don’t suppose there any sign of any PCBs? (Unlikely I know)

A bundle of wires and harnesses
The car

There is some boxes and tubs with lots of misc in them , bulbs, bolts, bulb holders.

Oh my god!
Can you save it all?!!
The game PCB is the main thing. If I can get loan of that, I can properly emulate it
