When I first joined the club I presently race at. I noticed that the guys used to use all sorts of cases to carry their cars. Camera brief cases with dividers, etc. But they would also tease each other saying stuff like "nice breadbox!" even though none of them were actually breadboxes. That gave me an idea.

I had nothing yet. Proper carrying cases were expensive. Most didn't have a nice layout for what I needed.

A store that appeals more to to my wife called "Bed, Bath & Beyond" had a cool looking bamboo bread bin on their website for about $50 Cdn.

   

The first thing to do would be to cover the glass. The sides of wooden shelves won't look nearly as nice as a fresh loaf of bread. A kitchen cabinet door handle was also added.

   

Sliders made from angle aluminum were cut and added to the inside for the upper shelves. Wooden sliders were added to the bottom for the bottom shelf to sit level.

   

Shelf bases were made from 1/4" inch plywood sheets. The sides of of the shelves were made from 1/4" inch x 1.5" inch strips. I measured the shelves for anything I might need at a race. Foam strips were cut and glued to prevent damage to cars, tires, or braid while in storage.

   
   
   
   

The total cost was about $70 Cdn. Plus an afternoon of fooling around. Thank you very kindly for looking.

Hope you left space for your sandwiches in there too

T-D, no doubt Ken will be working on a matching unit to keep the beers and sandwiches.

You guys are funny. 

I saw a recent car carrier and had to catch my breath at the price. Rather than making a comment. I diplomatically created a new topic.

After doing the math. $70 Canadian works out to about 45 Euro. I'll have 194 Euro left over for sandwiches and beer.

There will be enough beer that everyone will likely need to take a cab home after race night is over. 

It's all good.

Have to agree with your thinking there. The recently announced slot car carrier's price is eye watering. 

PLENTY of sandwiches to be had with the savings made using your creative flair!

This is home made as well - for about 40 Euros - if I did it again - it would be smaller and not so heavy!!!  

   

Yours looks perfect Ken!!

[KensRedZed]

Thank you very kindly TD and Anthony.

Yours looks perfect too Anthony. You have a few extra cars.

Order placed Ken.

Can you confirm delivery date please.

[KensRedZed]

Lol! 

You're funny Jeremy. I'll get out the old bamboo and start knitting one for you straight away. Shipping costs from Canada might require a bank loan.

I'm opening up an eBay shop to move your stuff from. If you can knock these out for 35 Canadian pounds, I'm going to make a small fortune.
