viskoe Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Hi all Yes another 40yr old kid rediscovering slot cars. Just picked up a scalextrix sport kit and extras off a mate who wanted to get rid of it. I have a 11 yr old so he is over the moon, might get him off the Xbox for a while! Unfortuantely I had to cut the baseboard to transport it 12ftx6ft is now 8x6 ! So its an opportunity to change the track and redesign. Looking forward to rebuilding it and setting up some nice scenery. I have seen that from some of the posts their are some dedicated racers and modellers here. Look forward to asking lots of questions and begging for help. Check out some pics I took before I dismantled it for transport. Turned out to be a good idea, when it came to rebuilding it. Best Regards Emil PS off to play with the set now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlotsNZ Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Welcome to the slot junky joint. It's actually amazing how the young uns take to slots after being reared on a PC. I'd really encourage you to make a son and dad thing, maybe get some of his mates involved for a periodic race day, and maybe some family and friends. Not only is the racing fun, but the socialising and chat around slots, and soing work together to make a thing better seems to be a flaming good social tonic. Good on ya mate!
