Turin was brilliant! Great crowd of people, 2 from USA, 1 from Canada, 1 from France, 5 from England, 1 from Belgium, 2 from Switzerland and I guess that leaves around 20 Italians. Many thanks to Ezio, Franco, Giovanni, Maurizio, Pietro and ALLof the other club members who made it the best yet, and that really is saying something. The buffet lunches in Ezio's garden each lunchtime are the closest I'll ever get to a Royal Garden party! Thanks again everybody.

 I've just bought an enormous collection of Retro slot parts, including complete cars built in the 60's 70's & 80's, Cox gears and guides, Taylor Gears, SCD wheels and tyres, Mura and Champion motors, cans, endbells etc, just about everything. There are also 80 pre-1970 USA Slot car magazines.There is so many parts that it would be impossible to list. If you want to see it, give me a call and arrange to come round, allow about 2 hours.

Below are some pictures of cars that I have built and raced at various Retro Race meetings recently, most of them are still in use and at present not for sale, I am particularly pleased with the ATS F1, the real car had an incredibly shallow chassis ( probably why it flexed so badly).
