    The set we started off with was the truck racing one. One ended up damaged, so we took the body off, and taped a couple of batteries to it - made it so that it could take pretty much any corner at full speed without flipping off the track!

    I must keep an eye out, as I'll be heading up to Newbridge - arriving 10.55, so should pass it on the way

    Back when I was renting with mates, we got a Scalextric set, and then one of the lads got a load of track for free off a guy in work. I'd say we ended up with around 20ft of track - it made for some cool track layouts!

    Kilrush to Kilkee is being done first - afaik, the railway hadn't got that far, so no harm yet

    Better than having to go halfway across the country to change trains for sure!

    I remember around mid 80s, the dad of a friend from up the road running a fleet of Hino trucks from out of a yard near Croke Park. He got me one of the Hino winged grill badges, which I stuck on the door of my room

    I avoid sea, rivers, canals, lakes - any more water than the shower is not for me! If I had kids, I'd show them Jaws and Piranha movies from a very young age, and tell them that the sea around Ireland has killer sharks, and that the rivers & lakes are full of piranha - that should keep them away from the waters!
