Hey guys,
I'm from Adelaide and have an on again - off again love of slot cars. My old man got us a scalextric set in the '70s, he was a mechanic and raced some minis for a little while. The set had a big Hornby transformer, minis, Datsun 260z, Escort , JPS F1 car and a couple of others. Loved it then. It dissappeared and I don't know where!
Now that my own kids are 7-11, I've opened pandoras box. So far I've got 2 Scalex sets, 2 mustangs (v.nice), 3 minis. At first I was having kittens when the kids were sending cars flying, but I've loosened up and I've picked up some repairing skills. All good fun.
In a fit of madness I got a C2413 Bob Jane Camaro for $95 from Scalexworld here in Adelaide and then the limited Vanwall and Maserati from a couple of years ago. I've got these three cars on ebay at the moment cos I dont want to damage them but I want to use them. I still don't know if selling them is the right thing to do. (oh and i still consider selling the children whenever I see a Racer Ferrari 250 LM #27)
Biding my time till I go digital. Whats the word on the street about digital? Anyone have major problems with it?
Well, cheers all.
