The Wye Valley Slot Rally Proxy was a perfect excuse to pick up a pair of Ninco cars to send...

       

The Lancia 037 was new, but a really good price. The Subaru looks barely run and was £20. I wanted the Impreza as it is Petter Solberg's 2006 Rally Wales GB car, which I thought was apt. And I've always loved that particular 037 - the Chardonnet cars were always classy. Both have been prepared for racing and the Subaru has new rear wheels. I have no idea how they'll go on the ten Wye Valley tracks, but I'm really looking forward to following them at the event. Whatever happens.

I've taken lots of 'before' pictures, because I don't expect them to be quite the same when they return... They will be full of the character of competition and covered in battle scars. I like slot cars that way.
