Christ ,i had one of them ,used to make a loud noise when it was wound up ,loved it

Can't believe half of you are old enough to remember those Evil Kneivel toys! I sadly am lol
Does anyone remeber the 'Matchbox' track pre-scalextric it was yellow and held together with flat red things you could get a loop the loop etc....for it

 

was yours steam powered

 

wat about the six milloin dollar man they made figures that would come apart showin the bionic eye arm ect remember him lol

jay

 

Lol but no inertia powered as the one above

 

oh yes i rember having that toy

 

I believe I still have it in the loft

 

LOL bloody hell I remember the matchbox toy!! I used to make the track really high at one end so the cars would go round the loop bit!!! The little red plastic bits that held the track together always used to slid apart though!! Nothing a little selotape did'nt fix!!! ROFLOL

On another note I cant remember the name of my favourite toy as a kid. I'll describe it below and see if anyone can remember it................

It was a 6 wheel white futruristic looking buggy with a key pad on the top. You would press into the keypad what you wanted it to do, like go forward turn 90 go forward etc. It had a 4 wheeled grey trailor that could be made to tip up.

I think it was called BIG TRACK but I just cant remember!!

 

Karl,

this one

 

Cool Spiky thats the fella!!!! Mine was white with a blue flashing light at the front!

 

LOL yes mate had the trailor as well!! Im sure that I wasnt that impressed with the trailor though as it didnt do much, and worst of all I remember one of the wheels breaking off the Big Track and having to glue it back on with Araldite! ROFLOL

 

was born in 78 but dont remember them but parents were skint in them days

still got my 3dr coswoth scalextric in the cupboard and loads off matchbox cars

 

my brother had the matchbox track. but i got the big trak. never did really get the hang of programming it properly so it was always ramming into peoples' ankles etc. never had the trailer though.

anyone know if dada (spelling?) cars are still about? had a track for those too. they were the nuts.

 

aye had him and the bigtrack and the evil bike lmao we broke our tho

 

Had one of these as well

 

I remeber that, i always wanted his big truck to go with him and the bike
