  1. Hi DM, i have a pug 207 & 908 and audi r10. All extremely fast, and also fun to fiddle with due to all the adjustments you can make to the setup. Probably my favourite of all the brands!
  2. Geez, who mentioned webber has won two races! I taped all the 09 races and was gunna watch them next March. Now it is ruined!!!!! Come on guys, there were 2 oppurtunities to watch this before the post, do what I did and not get on the forum until you have seen it. :nice:
  3. Lookin great Bones! One liitle tip: slot cars look more impressive when photographed on top of a croc.
  4. Must admit - Im with smallnails. There is such thing as 'ethics' - and stretching the truth in a deliberate attempt to mislead isnt right (eg. 'collectors edition'). He shouldnt be misleading people to get the cars in the first place, and there is no real reason why 'collectors edition' couldnt have been left out. So on this count I agree with gref's lovely description of him. Yet, I also agree with trying your luck - and if it wasnt for the issues discussed above, good on him for trying to get a good price. I must admit I usually look at these, say something along the lines of gref's description - adding a few of my own words - and then move on. BUT here I am giving my 2 bobs worth so I guess I care more than I think :sleep2: JRob

    Carrera Cars

    Hmmmm...Carrera. Smooth driving BUT heavy, slow, and small body details are terrible (and what is with the huge oversized tyres?). I only buy their F1s because they at least go to the effort to add new wing details etc (unlike scaley who offer a 5 year old shape in new livery ). Im with DM here - you dont hear as many complaints because (from what I can tell) hardly anyone here buys them! I also believe SCX are ok, but not worth the new price. Plenty of better brands for the same money I will buy before I go near another one. This idea in the slotcar world that charging more will help get them through the current financial climate astoundes me. Economic Crisis = People struggling financially = Not spending as much money on non-essential items = Hobby manufacturers raising prices (and raising it by HEAPS)

    V8 Supercars

    I just think that sports should be as fair as possible, and if we make it up as we go to suit 'whoevers' agenda it becomes a circus. A circus is entertaining but lacking in supporter passion!

    V8 Supercars

    For those that havent seen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpVkiboDQ-4 And the worst reasoning you can ever possibly hear! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhLN0JEqoZg...=response_watch Even Whincup was sure it was a penalty. At least we now know the rule - you can just run into people if they are in your way. I just find the whole thing embarrasing! BTW - I drive a Ford.

    Thought we might get a few comments in before this became a Holden v Ford discussion. All well, silly me.

    V8 Supercars

    Just a little enquiry...anybody else getting sick of seeing the inconsistancy of the V8s rules (if they even exist at all). How can Whincup just spin the guy in front of him after diving from 103245kms back, and it is just decided not to do anything about it????? He ruins one guys race, makes his own, and everyone turns a blind eye. I know that at least 3 guys I know have sadly been turned off the series because of the laughable rulings. That would not even stand in F1!!!!!! Can anyone clarify?????
  10. Its AWESOME - and was an exciting qualy with the rain!!! It will be interesting to see if any of the constant doubters jump back on the bandwagon now...or wait until he hopefully wins tonight.
  11. Yep - and you will never see a more clear cut example of a block!!! Worst thing is, Sutil will be knocked back on the grid, meaning he is just in the same position basically, and Webber's race is ruined. If his name was Massa, Hamilton or Button this wouldnt be the end of the story. Also, stupid Red Bull made their run so late!!!!!! I understand having a hot lap in Q3, but in Q1 with a heap of cars on track is just stupidity at its best.
  12. I agree that we should try to support aussie business - however what I am trying to say is that I can not afford to buy ninco cars at $79 (I have to save up to get slot.it's at that price), and so for me it is a case of afford to buy ninco not at all, or buy overseas. I cant justify paying another $45 if I want 3 ninco cars - I wish I could. Hi Davnic, i do get out to the shops when I can and make most of my purchases from them, however being a 25min drive from the closest one I quite often cant make it there for months at a time (due to work and lack of free time), so usually have to rely on postage.
  13. Well, ill say one thing - with the new ninco price rise in spite of the relatively strong $AUS, it has gone from being around the same price to buy overseas to $10-15 cheaper (from the trusted, good service sites I look at anyway). Unfortuneatly it seems I will be making my ninco purchases overseas - and will hope that this will not be the case for the other brands. I am extremely sorry about this but I just cant justify $79 + post for ninco cars.
  14. Hi Hakka, No pics, but there is nothing between the rear lights except 2 exhausts (each exhaust comes in 2 silver parts). JRob

    Mb Slot Ferrari F430

    Dont have ferrari, but I do have the pagani and know the zonda is just too heavy to be really quick. However it is a beautiful looking car, and you can play with all the chassis adjustments for ages. I too am interested in the ferrari and would like to hear if it is lighter. JRob
