    I caught 171 blasting through Newbridge this evening just minutes before my train to Athlone arrived. Amazing to see passing by giving it the beans!

    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!
