The only cars I've purchased this year are the 3 Scalextric T-Birds to fight against my Monte Carlos, and the Scalextric P-34 set. Until the track runs, I have no idea how they run LOL!

Yo Top Down,
Those look great - must find mine and re-appraise it.

Top Down. Very cool looking sidecar racers.
I'm not a big fan of RTR. But I broke down and bought one new RTR car this year. We race these cars in stock form with the exception that the stock tires must be changed for urethane. How does the song go? "Everybody was Kung Fu fighting... Those cars were fast lightning". Or, something like that.

Love the Alitalia livery but see post #52 for my preferred Racer Sideways version, the Lancia Beta Monte Carlo.

That's quite alright Top Down. It's a bit like a favourite colour. There is no such thing as a wrong choice. It's just your opinion.
Both new cars were sitting before me in the store on boxing day at 40% off, and I chose the Stratos.
I'm glad were not all the same. Life would indeed be boring.
