FROM THE ARTICLE
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been living in the past. Or, more specifically, driving in it.

My free time’s been spent exploring a city I thought was gone forever, and it’s all thanks to Project Gotham Racing 2.

Let me give you a bit of background so you don’t think I’m having some sort of fever dream. Back in 2001, I moved to Edinburgh for four years to study journalism at university.

As is the case with many other people, these years in higher education were among my most formative, transforming my personality and giving me the confidence and social skills needed to make it in life.
