Shame on you - you should be cutting the grass. or at least finishing off painting the fence green.

Nice collection of cars though :wink:

Thats right, the model is made by Revell, beautiful detail but not terrribly quick.
Seen real ones racing at the Goodwood Revival Meeting, absolutley awesome.

its a lovely looking thing, knew I'd seen it b4...

My best mate gave up playing Scalectrix with me, i have a tendancy to beat him in style, I just get it to the fasted I can get round the slowest corner and just sit the car at that pace... kills the fun for everyone one else but I can sit and watch the TV and whip em all...

Ah excellent, we have a track set up at work at the moment but the F1 cars we use have had their wings and noses damaged. Still good fun mind.

These are two of my faves they are actually re-issues rather than the 1960's Airfix originals. Took me ages to find enough parts to build to working cars.
I think they turned out quite well. The front wheels "steer" and everything.

** EDIT ** should have perhaps cleaned the dust of them before I photographed them :oops: **

:( Reminds me [painfully] that I sold my Hornby diesel Brush to my mate Jimmy Reid for £1.50 in 1974 :(
