Nah, there is official scalextric and cheap knock off copies. Plus I dont know if the newer ones are compatible as they are more sophisticated

I am discomforted by your apparent deep knowledge of the subject.  noooo:

A less tactful chap might ask if you collect bus timetables and keep your own urine in large jars?

Comes of being the family tech genius and having younger coousins, neices & nephews.

As for keeping urine in jugs, I suspect you may want to check the contents of BM's home brew.  whistle:

I knew that about Scalextric too! We have a pretty old set. It's a wicked thing my Dad bought it for my Brother's first Christmas.  ::)

Me and my Scalextric parted company many moons ago, but I do have an AFX set with add-ons and the Jag and Mers LM Gt cars (with lights) - can do it in the dark as well.

I now have a small amount of patience. I've learned that slowing down at corners is safer in the long run.  redface:

Family villa sweetie. It's runs in and out of the rooms of one of the guest apartments.  redface:

My Dad bought it off a guy who had spent years building it up, he had it running through every room in his house. He was getting married and his intended refused to walk up the aisle unless he got rid of it. My Dad used to see it almost broke his heart taking it away from the bloke.
