1x XR2i that I modded to look like Rachels old car


quality, a friend of mine got a scalextric for my boy, Sassy got an xr2i
from e-bay to paint grey like her FRST
we set a big track up after Christmas, ended up having a few drinks & playing
on it all evening...........................

poor little fecker

WutangRS

rover police car

had one of those when i was kid, flashing lights and everything. wicked. wonder what happened to it?

does anyone else squirt wibbly dibbly onto their track for proper tailsliding action?

RichardPON

What?!!!!

What is this "wibbly dibbly", and where do I get some?

Oranoco

Used furniture polish on the curves for some excellent sideways fun!

foreigneRS

wibbly dibbly is WD40

steviep

i bought a ducati for mine the other day, it's a right bastid to keep on the track

foreigneRS

got it set up last night and had a quick blast.



how amazing are new cars? they're so easy to keep on the track and fly around the corners (due to the magnet i s'pose). my 2 old escorts and 70's GP cars hang the back out around every corner and spin the wheels down the straight. just like it should be. reckon they need new tyres as the ones they have are all cracked and hard.

Went round my mates the other night over here and he has loads of holdens and some monaro cars. Also a monaro radio controlled car.

Had the mini set back in the late 70s and we though it would be good if we raced in the wet ,so we poured water over the track after we could not figure out why the cars stopped(then our dad got home)
Got the escort cossie set now

Big G

I bought my first set at Autosport

a Makinen poobaru and and Evo.
Bought a mk3 Scort and an RS500 but as they are they older generation cars they dont take the corners at all Need to know how to sort the problem

So i went n bought a 4WD Skoda Fabia (feckin awesome), a DTM Merc and a WRC Focus

foreigneRS

went in a couple of model shops in barcelona and they had some awesome models and scalextric (and the copy ninco) models, including the zakspeed capri (which i have a kit of). didn't have room in my luggage for anything though.

and the mk1 escort and mk3 'tina





and the daddy, rs200



were about 70 euro's for a little die cast model which i wasn't willing to pay. got me a tiny mk1 scrote for a tenner.

RichardPON

I've never heard that before, but that is superb!

cossiestu

Used to love Scalextric, how cool was the mk1 escort?!

Zakspeeds are looking good Jimbo.
Still haven't got one, realy gonna have to treat myself now.
Can't decide which one to go for now you sod, they all look so good.
Never work anywhere that sells good stuff, your wages don't even make it out of the door
