It was a very nice weekend and it was good to have a chat with some people from this site. As a rally fan I liked especially the slot rally special stage. Unfortunately I deslotted once at the hillcli...

MC Slots supply WASP tyres at a lower price than buying direct. LINK

WASPslot.  They make approx 30 different tyres for lots of different cars.  They have a handy table listing which cars the tyres will fit. I've bought loads to bring old cars back to life.

I won an Echo Dot in a competition and found it quite useful, so much so that when I needed to replace my alarm clock I bought a 2nd Dot, but what does amaze (and puzzle) me is how the 2 have quite di...

Getting back to the original subject of the thread  :tease: , I see Scalextric and eyelets mentioned, so I am assuming we are talking about fairly early models - 70s/80s perhaps. One problem I have se...
