Christmas requistitions ment a small trip to my mums to collect my old slot cars (Mum wanted it shifting anyway seeing as I no longer live there).



Built a quick circuit from the spare sections that I had kicking about.




Scalextric - Escort RS1600




Revell - Lotus Cortina




Just need to wait for my brother to come up and play


Bunny looks less than impressed

 

Still great fun and becoming collectable now

 

love the scalextric

i might have to look mine out now

 

I still have a load and im 36

Also lots and lots of model trains.

Steve.

 

That brings back some memories and makes me feel old.

 

i know what you mean . i remember having that set up in my room . had it go under my bed aswell

weird thing is i cant remember what cars i had ???

 

did they ever do escort cosworth scalextric cars

 

Used to have a pair of 3-doors as well but no idea what happened to them

 

quality mate

i'll need to look out for a couple of these

 

they look wicked

 

i got that xr3i set of ebay a few months back a paid alot for it then.

make sure you unreal all that extension lead before you play it

 

Quailty. We used to go round a mates every fri and transform the living into a huge track. Had it all wired up to the lap top for lap times etc.

Ave got a RS200. you can upgrade the engines, bearing,tyres now a days

 

Class! I've got that XR3i racing set somewhere! And the one that came out later called 'Night Moves' with a pair of XR3i's with working lights

I had so much Scalextric, and I used to mod and respray the cars... even made a signal yellow twin engined XR3i pickup at one point with extra magnets underneath

 

me too! i have an imperial blue escos and road spec rs200. you cant beat elastic band 4 weel drive for drifting

 

Got an Audi Quattro here like that.

 

Yes mate..only about 15 of them!
Around the same number of RS500/3dr Sierras
Plus numerous XR3is, RS200s then there's the old Escort RS cars too

Oranoco: can you get pics of the XR3i cars in the set pls..and what's front left on the pole position box? Audi Quattro??

 

Audi Quattro




I'll have to run upstairs again for the Escorts as I've just put it away

 

absolutly love em!

 

And the 3i's set's in good nick but the crs are a bit worse for wear. Got a coupe of really dead XR3i's so might try and make a couple of decent ones out of the mess.

 

Cheers mate. Thought it was going to be those two cars. Shame they never put the proper Brooklyn 69 car in like it shows on the box

So when are these off on ebay

 

I used to love playing with my scalextric

Got a couple of RS500's aswell as a few other cars

Might have to go round my mums and dig it all out the loft


Brian

 

Ive got a set with the Sport track, keep meaning to dig it out and sell it... (if anyone in the Northants area wants it cheap )

Maybe one day Ill get round to getting the Digital addon for it if I keep it, overtaking etc

Anyone got or remember TCR or Race And Chase?

 

Used to have Race & Chase but the track went all funny in the loft so it got skipped . Also had a Matchbox PowerTrak.

 

I still have race and chase at my parents house with the cop car and the corvette

 

i had one of them best one i ever had

 

classic stuff.love the old xr's

 

Found tons of SCX stuff on E-Bay. Can get all sorts of cars like the old Toyota Celica, Renault 5 GT Turbo's and the old Volvo 850 touring car

Shame I'm skint as anything

 

I have in my loft

Leman 24hr Porshe set (Lemans start rocks)
Motorbike side cars TT set
Pole Position F1 set
Shit loads of extra track- Skid chicane, humps,
Start gantry and numerous buildings- couple of dunlop bridges and the PIT STOP with all pieces, boxed working.

Got loads of rare stuff too Car wise- Capri's, Mk1's- Mich Pilot ESCOS blah blah blah.

THe only piece I ever really really really wanted was the GOOD WOOD chicance- rockin horse poo and expensive to boot.

Jake

 

Loving them all

 

I used to have Race & Chase, with the tilting bridge.

Steve.

 

i used to love my scalextrics . Wen i was really young and had my xr3 escorts, i always said to my parents i want a xr3 as my first car i was probably only about 10 at the time lol.

oranoco, that hump back bridge is always good to have in ya set up. i used to have the dunlop bridge aswell, was always good to have just after the hump bridge, see who could knock it down by gettin air born off the hump bridge lol

 

I remember my mate having a proper scalextric loop the loop, his is the only one Ive seen!
Anyone else?

 

Looks good and strange coincidence i have brought home from my mothers house all my old scalextric stuff and set it up in the livingroom, the wife aint to impressed, but our 4 year old loves it. i also got 30 plus boxed and unused cars over my mams.

 

i used to have tcr remember them

the wires where embeded in to the track so the cars could change lanes at the flick of a switch ...

THE ARTIC RIG UNITS ...FUCKING AWESOME

 

i Have that silver 3i! I love it!! Must be 15 years since it ran

 

yeah i loved the old scalectrix, i upgraded to the one with the smoking starts and alllap times etc etc, not sure what cars i had remember having a gt40 in the blue and orange and then got a few scoobies and evos's

 

That's what he new digital scalextric is like. Haven't been on one, but read up on it. Up to 6 cars on 2 lanes (more if wanted). Each controller controls one car..not one lane, so the experience is supposedly more like real racing as you have to pick which lane to be in to stay at the front.

Pity the newer cars are not as good as the old ones: model wise..not quality. Altho they have been making new Mk1 escorts recently. Need some more classics.

 

Awesome collection

How old are you??

 

You're never too old tho mate.

 

Blimey Pole Position I used to have that too, got binned tho

My mate had the 3i set too, i see that in his bin the other week, was proper trashed tho
