slot car sets - own up if you had/got one

[jphanna]

For those that are over 30 years old, well before XBox, PS2, WII..etc, the main form of indoor entertainment for me and most of my friends back then was a slot car set. if you were not so rich, you had a 'no name' brand that you could get from most Toy stores etc, and took 4 D cell batteries. If your parents had a bit more cash, you got AFX or scalextric with a transformer (never ending power!). i only gave mine away a few years ago to a neighbor, and i bitterly regret that now. i may ask for it back...

Own up all you X generationers...
