I haven't been able to get to the Post Office for the past couple of days and was sitting here with just mine, Fangio's (USA) and Sprint's (Italy) cars making the field. I managed to get home in time to clear the mail box and found there were 6 cards in the box. But when I went inside, the postie just handed me a tub full of parcels that all arrived in the last 2 days!



I had to fill the postie in on what all the packages were about lest they think I'm running some money laundering scam or importing a WMD piece by piece. Better that they just think I'm a bearded weirdo!

So here they are:

This is the Capri contingent:
(Left to right McGregor168, Manic, Sprint, Magoo and ESPSIX)


And here we have the Celicas'
(Left to right Bitman, Oswald and Scar)


The Audi's and Camaros'
(Left to right NEWSO, Fangio, Mopardevil and Smallnails)


Gazza's Mustang, HMCSAT's Volksie, Mannimal's Escort and Kalbfelp's Corvair


And the Aussie brigade;
(Left to right BMR's Torana, imugford's Charger, Sidecar Steve's Monaro and imkouwel's Torana)

Great pics there Steve.

Some very nice builds and paint jobs fellas.

If they all go as well as they look, what a series it will be. Cant wait for the first result

[smallnails]

Some of those wings are ridiculous! especially that maccas capri!

The Anglia looks very kool , very much in the spirit of late 60's - early 70's Aussie sports sedan racing. Great choice where did you find that body ? Let me guess - mid mounted Mabuchi V8 !

[espsix]

Shite stirrer!!
I thought more of the cars would of had big wings!
What a great line up though!!

[espsix]

And in the spirit of Sports Sedans, Self sponsored!

[manic35]

GREAT line up guys!

Hopefully even more arrive today, bring on the first round!!!

Cheers Manic

Big wings = more weight behind the rear wheels. Looks good but not what you want in a slot car.

I'll post my Calibra and Hellrazor's little Renault in an overnight bag on Monday.



Watch out for this French car, it's very quick.

It think that maybe the wheels might be poking out a tad too far on oswalds!

What you think?

[Chewycat]

fantastic looking field gentlemen looking forward to the racing

I would at this stage normally ask for everyones car details to be made public, but as some are still being built....................well you know we dont want any ideas stolen now do we?

[Davnic74]

What you think?

Did the guards shrink in the mail or are the tyres over inflated ?
Im sure there under the 70mm rule but there not under the guards are they ?
