Pales into insignificance alongside your haul Ken! Great stash at clearance prices. Man after my own heart, can't resist a bargain, particularly a good looking one, eh?

Thanks again Top Down. The prices were too hard to resist. Chances are you won't hear another peep out of me for the rest of the year.    I'm not sure my wallet can be resuscitated.

First purchase of the year: MR Slotcar McLaren F1 GTR.    
Bargain price of £44.95 from the Pendle special offers section. It will be interesting to compare it to my Revoslot version. Review to follow in due course.

I'm off the mark with my first one of the year, not my usual kind of car to collect normally I go for rally cars but I just couldn't resist this Ruben's Barrichello Ferrari F2002. 

Looks even better on track alongside Niki Lauda's Ferrari 312T.

Decided to go with my heart with my choice of Classic Sports Car for a new race series I hope to enter this year...

   

Lots of trick bits in the box as well to get me started on turning it into a TS beater!

This is my lastest purchase, sold all of the 1/32nd stuff a few years ago and back into it now. Slowly replaceing what i should have never sold.

After watching the 1996 BTCC review I was inspired to get some more super tourers. 

I went for John Clelands 96 Vectra. 

My first job was to change the tyres to a nice low profile it's now a bit more in keeping with the real car.

Rare to see any Scalextric START brand cars featuring here.
I just got this white "rally car".  No complaints but it was a bit bizarre.  Auction listing didn't say it was a runner but did say it had new braids. I placed it on my track and it moved ok until it arrived at the first corner where it stopped. A visual check of the brushes certainly showed nice new braids. The car has the quick-change braid design so I pushed the rear edge of the plate forwards to remove it but it would not move. I then realised that the blade would not swivel. I removed the braid-plate by pushing it backwards and thought that was a bit odd. The contact strips seemed OK so oened the car u and unscrewed the guide assembly to find it was installed backwards, hence the lack of swivel. As I re-installed the unit, I realised that I would have to swap the wiring around to ensure that the car would travel in the normal direction. That made me wonder how the guide assembly could have been previously installed wrongly. The car now runs as it should so now worries.

My first car of 2022 - an NSR Fiat Punto Abarth S2000, which finished second at the 2010 Rally Mille Miglia. This one has been on my wishlist for a while and it was the only car I couldn't resist (so far) from the huge and high quality collection Phil Smith is selling on his site. I plan to have some fun with this - it's never been out of the box, so deserves to be run.
