Looking back 10 years to what brought me back into the hobby.
First it was getting the internet.
Then, whilst looking for any photos of the 1/1 cars I was involved with back in the 70s, the first photo I found was of the Pink Stamps Lotus 30/40, and it was a slot car and on SlotForum!
I then spent many hours trawling through the SlotForum archives, admiring, and being inspired by, all the wonderful tracks, scenery and cars on there. Those threads made up an archive of articles built up over the years, something a new forum, however good it is, can not immediately offer.
May I suggest that we all try to build up that archive by posting articles of our past builds as well as new ones. These posts, hopefully, can play their part in encouraging newcomers to the hobby in the same way that SF inspired me 10 years ago.
Regards, Lloyd
