| I am curious as to what other hobbies you lads have.
Apart from heavy drinking and the occasional bout of uncontrolled sobbing, I am into 1/43 scale Slot Cars.

| Well, apart from heavy drinking too. I love history, not just WWII, all of it. If I'm watching TV, 90% off the time it's on the history channel. I read 5 to 7 books a year on anything history related. I don't care to much about the political stuff. I just wish I could remember half of what I've read or watch. I'm also a hockey fan, even though I can't skate. My team is the Montreal Canadiens, but I'll watch any team if it's a good game. So, I've never watch a Maple Leaf game. And I also have large collection of comic books, which last time I checked was valved around $5000. _____________________________________________ HL Panzer III | HL Tiger | HL Jagdpanther | HL Panther | Mato Sherman Hooben Elefant | HL Pershing | HL Bergepanzer IV | Tamiya Leopard 1A | WSN T-34 HL "Golden" Pan-Tiger | M16 Halftrack | HL Panzer IV | Tamiya KV-1 | Tamiya Tiger

Hey Tim, Isn't 1/43 scale a weird sizes, who came up with that? Do you have any pictures of your track or cars. I always love playing with them when I was younger. Hmmm, I wonder if my wife will let have another hobby? _____________________________________________ HL Panzer III | HL Tiger | HL Jagdpanther | HL Panther | Mato Sherman Hooben Elefant | HL Pershing | HL Bergepanzer IV | Tamiya Leopard 1A | WSN T-34 HL "Golden" Pan-Tiger | M16 Halftrack | HL Panzer IV | Tamiya KV-1 | Tamiya Tiger

| Since,
I have toyed with slot cars for the last 3 years. I have 1/43 slot cars and track by carrera on a 16'x4' table. I am building a desert formula one track that is about 70' long. I'll be upgrading it to digital soon, so i can run 3 cars on 2 slots with lane changing. Lots of fun.
I'll post some pics soon. |

| Hi Tim I too am into slot cars. My main interest was HO scale and at one point had a 24 X 8 ft layout .I can still smell the ozone after a day of competition! After the divorce I was forced to down size but I still have several 1/24 carrera evolution cars , a 1/43 FI track set along with a number of 1/32 scale scalelectric and of course a good collection of my fav HO AFX/Thunderjet etc. For many years I built planes but crashed too many times to count. My collection of several hundred plastic car and truck models was sold in the spring to fund this new RC tank hobby. |

| A guy at work has had 7 or was it 8 heli's. And has written everyone of them off in fairly short order, at about $200.00 a pop. I'll stick with tanks _____________________________________________ "Luck favours the prepared!."
