    Slot Cars

    I used love slot cars when I was a kid. I had some AMF sets and a couple of Tyco 440 sets growing up and loved them. I pretty much left the slot cars behind as soon as I got my drivers license though. Now I am older and have my own kids, so that means I have an excuse to get back into slots again.

    Here is a 21 year old goodie I just scored.






    Thing is, I'll never open it. Oh well, just means I need to buy more.

    Eschew obfuscation, espouse elucidation.

    2006 Winning Blue Sport package - The AutoX Beast
    1994 Black and Tan C-package - The 'Half-Pint'
    1991 Mariner Blue - The daughters car
    RIP 1999 Miata 10AE (0565/7500) - Succumbed to the curse.
    RIP 1990 Mariner Blue - Taken before it's time.

    I have a router and some wood sitting in my garage waiting to be turned into a wood routed track someday. Nice find though for sure didnt even know they existed. There a some really good slot forums out there. Fla is a pretty good hotbed for them.

    I love those Tyco Slot Cars, too:

    This picture was taken on my race track. The white version is custom painted to match the white color of the lane.
