I do like how he's made his own track with the copper tape etc... means you can pretty much have any track layout you can dream of, which is something I used to get pissed at when I used mine, dreaming up an amazing track and then finding you were short of pieces.


Cheers,
Grant

i gave a load away recently, inclding 2 mark 1 escort cars. i got fed p of carting it about everytime i move house and never used it. the trouble with old track is the metal strips go rusty if not stored totally dry. and old cars have so little grip compared to modern magnetic ones.

Love the way he has made the track with the apex's ect into the corners, so that you can only overtake on the straights ect ect....very clever.....
