It's that time of year (ok, i'm a little late posting) again for the custom slot car xmas exchange.
This is year 4 already.
Rules are pretty basic, and if I miss anything you'll are more then welcome to chime in.
1.)Cars in the trade must have a running chassis, not a screamer, but able to do laps.
2.) I try to (repeat try too) keep exchanges in the same class, for example, if you send in a tjet, i try to send a tjet back, tyco for tyco, BUT it doesn't always end up that way, it gets confusing with 25 or so packages floating around.
3.) cars have to have some sort of customizing, paint/decals, chop tops, resin cars.
4.)when you send your car, please send 6.00 cash or check, or paypal to slotsrus@rcn.com for return postage.
5.) PLEASE, in the box, have your hobbytalk name, car your sending, and return address. I know address are on the tops of the boxes, but its easier to handle the other way.
6.) no whining, it won't do any good anyways, whiner emails are being forwarded to the Hobbytalk Headbashers Association, a group formed by Coach last year.

Anything else guys?????

Due date,,,how about Dec. 15th-18th

Have fun, be creative, and know you'll be getting a cool car in return. Its a win/win.

Sorry, just a product of being named a JUNIOR. Mom didn't want me to be called Little Charlie or Chuck, thank GOD, not that there's anything wrong with those names. Hence, Dave or DAVID when the S hit the fan. I never used roadrner until I started hanging out here so I'll blame you guys. ;)
Ed, anyway, thanks for doing it once again. it's greatly appreciated and there's another box coming your way but it's for your collection. ;)

roadrunner/Dave/CHARLES.... don't forget the other one rr :freak:

You mean I'm late? I figure to start on the 11th-12th. It's due on the 14th....right?

car #1 received, waaahooo..I already can't wait for the group photo.

Mine will be hand delivered at the Parsippany show!! I'm usually one of the procrastinating almost too late ones!! Not this time!!:woohoo: I have a ton of pictures of it already, but don't want to ruin the surprise any more than I have already... :rolleyes:

P.S. You still buying lunch, Ed??? :lol:

Slotcarman, wear a nametag, or your HT hat, so I can find you.

I always wait till the extention date to start work..

I'll have to dig through my wardrobe. and pick out something that will make me blatantly obvious.. . Hmmm.. I'll be wearing a "flaming barbed wire" dress shirt. There can't be too many of them in NJ!!

Sltman, See if Honda will let you borrow one of his Gerbils, maybe let him sit on your shoulder??? A leach may not be a good idea with a crowd...RM

It may be a bit late for a gerbil rental.. Hey Dennis!! You still have that gerbil honda lent you from that blackout you had last week?? :lol:
