Peace on Earth and a fucking Scalextric

I've got a brilliant scalextric.
I've used it about 5 times. I am waiting until my nephew gets a bit less stampy.

Hillmann Avenger
My dad had one in his garage - we never saw it move. We used to pretend we were spies or something and pretend to drive it.

It's good, but...
he had one of those big double garages and I remember he had to fix the roof, so one summer it was all open and I was allowed up late. I remember being able to get on the roof, jump down onto the aforementioned Hillman and slide off the bonnet - great fun to a young boy!

I've got an Aston and a Porsche.
The Porsche is so rapid it doesn't stay on the track!!!!

all scalextric cars are too fast for the track if you hold the thing down all the way

I can't helps it, Quintsy.
It's so funny watching them fly off under the Baby Grand or into the scullery.

I had a Lotus, JPS black and gold Formula 1 style.
It would do the same - absolutely destroyed the other cars though - we had to ban it in the end!

unless you have the magnatraction ones, but they're boring. No skill.

i used to have one you could put little plastic walls up around the edge of the track
and i'd ram the cars right into them at full speed and brake the walls

and the cars
(quintsy, Thu 4 Oct 2012, 14:30, Reply)

and i'd make my brother and sister touch the track and then shock them

Evil...

Try running the track up and down the stairs
also jumps, and a touch of WD40 on the chicane to make things interesting.

Is that the insurance scam version?

basically every time you roll a six somebody pours lighter fluid on your piece and sets it alight
but you still have to take your turn
