    My German isn’t that good, so if you’d be kind enough to run it by us what that stuff means on the top of the windscreen please.

    Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,, MPU ? Miles Per Underpants,,,,,, maybe ?:)

    Do any of you actually own a Scalextric set?
    Just wondering…

    It is a title of a song of the last years of a German performance group „HGich.T“. You will find it at youtube…
    Don‘t ask me why this is placed on a classic VW bus. :confused: :don’t approve:

    MPU:
    in Germany, a medical-psychological assessment („Medizinisch-Psychologische Untersuchung“) is used by the authorities in deciding whether to revoke or reissue a driving license - e.g. in case of alcohol or drugs while driving

    Goa:
    a place in India known for Hippies and drugs - and a music style for electronic trance.

    ja:
    Yes

    Set up round the edge of my loft.

    All 60’s stuff. Nothing modern but I’d make an exception for a late bay

    It’s a bit of a winter hobby.

    I never go up there in the summer.

    Mint!
    Had a red cooper with a checkered roof and a series 2 BMW saloon.
    My friend Richard had a real old ‘60’c car set on his attic floor.
    On yours, do you find that the transformer power fades around half way around, and if so, did you use long jump wires from the track by the transformer to where the power fades? That’s what used to happen on Rich’s track.
    That’s one of the nicest things I’ve seen all day.:thumbsup:
     
  13. I thoroughly recommend you look at the Revoslot brand, cars are a lot better running than they used to be :)

    I always had TCR envy when I was a lad. I had scalextric and wanted to be able to swap lanes!

    Friend of mine had TCR Race and Chase. One car was the cop car, the other, the robbers. ( I think it was TCR, or it could have just been Race and Chase.).
