• Ballast - I described attaching ballast weights to a slot car as a "Black art". Our Canadian correspondent Chris Walker put me in my place, stating there's nothing black about it, it is pure science.

• Large Lola - This is the latest 1/24th Scale model from Carrera. At risk of turning this issue into a T70 tribute we bring you the rather huge Lola T70 MkIIIB from the 1969 Daytona 24 Hours.
  
• Lashups! This is Mark Hatton's description not ours! Mark is usually flying around the globe due to his job but being grounded he finds himself at home for much longer periods of time. Time to devote to slot cars!
  
• Sublime Lola - As a parting shot to our impromptu Lola T70 issue we bring you this masterpiece! A fabulous rebuild of a classic 1960’s AMT model, by Chris Walker.
