Finally - and the main use for me of the Pit Box, the transport element. With two exceptions the cars are mag-less.
On the left, the tiers opened to give a hint of their contents. At right, the bottom drawer contains my favourite saloons. The 'Pendle-ised' Revell NSU and Scalextric can-motored Mini. Both have the Pendle alloy wheels and axles with Urethane rear slicks and hard low-profile fronts to get the Pendle-braided guides down into the slot. The Mini also has a ScaleAuto 20k can. They won't win any races but are a bit different, great fun and don't disgrace themselves. Neither have added weight.
The two Disney cars are Carrera 1/43rd magnet cars and are just for a bit of mad fun when there's free time before the 'serious' racing. They go like stink!!
The ziplock bag contains parts of a Cox Cheetah I really should be restoring during Lockdown!
To the left a GT Bentley bought from this very forum, along with a couple of NASCAR's and an 'American Muscle/Saloon' Camaro. The Exide car has been superseded by the Dupont but remains in the case as the latter was prepared just as lockdown brought a halt to travel and social gathering so has yet to be raced in anger.
To the right the Rally cars, three MSC 4WD's, a Scalextric Audi and a Don Stanley prepared SCX Escort. The Metros run Slot.it P6 rears. Other than that they're stock. The RS runs Slot.it's all round, with lower profile fronts.
The ScaleAuto Spyker was the first 1/32 car I bought at Gaydon 2018. The colour scheme first caught my eye, then the extreme shape and a quick look underneath sealed the sale. Having been wowed by the chassis the Honda (blue and white) was the second buy.
To the right is a mix of Sideways and ScaleAuto Gp5's.
A Slot.it McLaren bought for that wild colour scheme, alongside an NSR Mosler, another ScaleAuto Honda and a sidewinder BMW M1, also from Scale Auto. Finally, that note book mentioned earlier, for anything worth noting - car damage to be repaired, new club members details, changes for Race Coordinator, track details, etc. Not used a lot but rued when forgotten. Slipped down the side of this tray you can also see the set-up plate and finally again, a vital 'not shown' are a pair of magnifying spectacles
Twenty five cars in my car transporter then. Tools remain the same - car contents may vary. I can honestly say none of these are 'first owner' cars, all being Slot Car Festival, eBay and Forum purchases to keep costs down.
