Scalextric!!! (possibly no 56k)

Blackvault · 29 Jan 2009 at 19:05

Blackvault and iamdjdz's slot car adventures would be more suitable:

We were chatting on msn and decided that we would hoak out iamdjdz's old scalextric and have a play with it, with the intention of maybe making a big layout. Anyway when we got the track set up it didn't work for some reason, and we decided enough was enough. We went into town and bought a Scalextric set between us

and built it, it, obviously, worked fine. This was all well and good but then we realised that we had two 'converter' pieces as iamdjdz's track was the old style and the new track new. We thus attached the two tracks together and came up with the following layout, all over Blackvault's living room. Brian.stuart (Blackvault's dad) isn't at home, but we're not sure he'll totally like the idea, we hope everyone else does

if it wasn't for the scalextric, i'd think that photo was taken in 1952

That's the most apathetic dog i've seen today.

Except for the fitted carpet, that's right

What's the difference between the old style track and the new style track then?

That’s because they won’t let him race.

generally nothing. it will look older thats all. it should all fit together perfectly with the new stuff though iirc.
