So!

This is where all the cool kids are hanging out.

Very nice digs! My compliments.

Not much of a racer anymore. Still building this and that, as time permits and inspiration presents itself. Some years back I made a New Years resolution to address my vast collection of "Incompletes" and languishing projects; so as to whittle them down into the single digits.

Thanx for having me aboard,

Bill Hall

Hello Bill, Greetings from Scotland.
You have not told us where you are on the planet?    
Interesting photograph, what is the back-story on that?

Leo,

I think the slot-carrot races against an electric-radish. 

I couldn't stop laughing when I saw that carrot.

That's Bugs Bunny's slot car.

I always glue and true my carrots.

My wife loves your car - she is vegetarian after all

Hi Leo,

Shelton, in Western Washington State, just up the Eastern side of the peninsula; where the salmon swim across the road in the monsoon season. Reputed to be the farthest point west on Puget Sound. An odd place, where Hammesrlay Inlet and Hood Canal are separated by a mere few miles of dirt. However, nautically one must travel hours north up into the San Juan Islands to get from one to the other; but you can drive from one to the other in minutes.

The root powered slot car was a spoof for my beloved missus. In todays age the saw bones cant call you chubby anymore, but he made certain implications. I'm guilty of losing track of time when in the slot cave, and from time to time Robi brings me a delicious snack (read reminder), that there is more to life than slotcars. Per the new mandate, Veggies were substituted for a cookie or some chips. I polished off the yummy sandwich, and in mock protest snuck my plate to the kitchen as shown above. She brought it back upstairs and exclaimed that, I wasnt getting out of it that easily, and that we didnt waste food in this house. She made me eat it. A joke all around, as I love my veggies in all forms, but I also love to make her laugh. I thanked her with a wink, for not making me eat the car parts too.

The way I see it, it's a hobby dedicated to 'lil toy cars. Periodic injections of idiocy or non conformism are mandatory to offset the obsession. Humor and whimsy are the two most important tools in the kit.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Y'all are most kind!
