That is very rough. Ship it over and then sell it over here when finished! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonfractal Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Alexis, Alternatively, your car could be bundled with mine back to the UK. You could pick it up from me next time you visit London slot car club at Wood Green. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sports Racer Posted July 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Some more cars have arrived. The mighty Holden from NZ is in the house as well as 2 cars from Western Australia. One belongs to Shaynus, the other to “Old Man”. I’m not sure if that’s an official entry name but I’m happy to update the entry list for the chronologically challenged.

More important is to make sure that in the results list that "Old Man" is below "Shaynus" ! (I might need some help with that one...)

Sports Racer Posted July 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 You're already behind the 8 ball. On the entry list he's 3 spots above you. If only your name started with an A. Maybe you should get rid of a couple of letters??? Quote May the downforce be with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaynus Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 Doh! Totally forgot about magnets! Our local track Isn't magnabraid so magnets don't have any effect, apart from ballast, so didn't even cross my mind...sigh...a bit embarrassing, sorry! I remember last year an o/s competitor having a dig at us Ozzies not reading the rules in regards to wheels, and now I'min the same camp - oh, the shame! At least I'll be starting in my usual position! (Walks off, hanging head in shame...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
