View Full Version : What's on you slot car Christmas list?
Shadowracer 12-12-2004, 12:40 AM Hey Gang!
Here's the question: If Santa could bring you just one EXISTING slot car oriented thing for Christmas, be it track, car, tool, or whatever, what would you ask him to bring you?
Just a little pre-Christmas conversation starter. :hat:

TX Street Racer 12-12-2004, 01:01 AM Well, to be honest, I got the 1 thing that I'd been wanting for a long time already.....a Scalextric 1/32 scale TransAm race set with the Camaro and Mustang........
BUT, if I were to go after one single item that I'd most like to have right now....... I'd got with one of those Scalextric moto GP motorcycles in the "Repsol" livery...featuring the rider "Valentino Rossi" ......those bikes just look wicked cool :eek: :thumbsup:
Captain Fred 12-12-2004, 01:50 AM I want a 95-120 ohm controller.
JPRcustoms 12-12-2004, 02:14 AM Hmmmmm.....OK I got a few. Nice resin AMX and Henry J bodies to fit on a t-jet. I have gear and wheel presses....now I need pullers. And Santa...if you are reading this....MORE ROOM FOR IT ALL!!!!! :jest:
madsapper 12-12-2004, 09:55 AM I'd be happy with an RRR color rainbow of 67 Galaxie 500 stocking stuffers...
jack0fall 12-12-2004, 10:24 AM Trev, You wanna talk about a very difficult question... :D But with all that is available, I guess my one wish would be:
A gentle nudge from Santa to the TM about the size of the track table and what is "wasted space". :D
I gave up trying to explain what/where/why when it comes to adding Slot Car stuff to my Christmas List....
Hope everyone gets their wish...

boss9 12-12-2004, 01:03 PM Hmmm,
Just one eh? Well I suppose that would be a toss-up between the green Tyco Mustang Cobra jam-car and the Bauer Magris fire truck. Either one would be fine as I could complete one of my series.
The wife already got me the new Scalextric Ho Mini-Cooper--which my daughter mistakenly found in the closet--and I can't open till Xmas, so I guess I'm covered. :)
Now what do I expect?......COAL! :p
Cheers!

Jeff,
have had the same problem. If I couldn't supply a pic, I was in for a surprise for sure. One year I rec'd some 1/32 cars for my HO layout. :freak: rr
jack0fall 12-12-2004, 05:22 PM RR, LMAO "It will still work won't it??" Was the question I got. I replied yes, and have it on a shelf as a reminder... :D
Jeff
okracer 12-12-2004, 10:06 PM a place to race ho cars other than my neibors garage i want a real slotcar place to race at
Andrij 12-12-2004, 10:16 PM Just ONE ho related item?
Bugger, that is a hard one to choose.
Either a 6 foot stocking filled with slotcars and parts
or
A garage big enough for a super huge road layout, including the layout
or
an 8hr drinking, driving, eating and chatting session with all you guys.
Reality speaking now, all i will be getting is the Autoworld backissues on CD from the US of A courtesy of my girlfriend.
Cheers
Andrij
jack0fall 12-12-2004, 10:27 PM Hey Andrij, Just curious about the "autoworld" CD. Did she happen to say where she got it from? I wouldn't mind getting that myself. Thanks.

fokkerpilot 12-12-2004, 11:05 PM Well, I already picked up an Artin 4 lane set with 4 cars and I'm waiting for its arrival. Now some folks hate Artin and others say it is a agood starter set. Since it handles Scalextric cars and others, I figured the preice was right. I do hear that the power supply is a bit low and the controllers can be beefed up. Any constructive thoughts?
Thanks,
Jack

Used them for epay fodder. Just tell her they're stored in one of those boxes in the attic if she asks (collectibles ;) ) . :devil: rr

jack0fall 12-13-2004, 07:14 PM Hey TX, Man as I finished writing that post, I realized that a number of years had gone by. My X is the one that got the car for me, and I am not really sure what with the move out, two appartments,current place... just where that car ended up... :confused:
I will keep you in mind if it turns up during the basement purge this winter...

I'd like him to make up my mind whether to go HO or 1/32 for my first set in about a zillion years! :roll:
