I used to have that set, was great.
Unfortunately the motors on the cars burned out (Even toy Cosworths are unreliable ) and I put them somewhere and havent seen them since, might have to find all my stuff again now. I still got a Mighty Metro, E30 M3, Fiesta XR2i and a Volvo 850 T5R which was one of the first cars which had steering front wheels.

So much fun!!

Im gonna look in the loft when the Christmas decorations get put away.

Hope it all still works.

Went into the loft to take a few pictures, it was feking freezing




and my focus rs, stripped out with a higher rpm motor

Can see the motor in this pic, very blurry though


I want to stick something in this, becouse they hang the arse out easy with the standard motor
