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!
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!
Speaking of Barrack Street, I came across this vid the other night (the start is a slideshow, but goes into video later):

I came across this story on my phone, and thought it'd be interesting to people here:
