Mixing past 1:1 cars owned with current slot cars owned:
I owned an 84 Lotus Turbo Esprit. Made a 1/24 slot car replica using a static kit of a G bodied Esprit and a Cox chassis/motor with the Cox Chaparral/BBS wheels, very similar to OEM wheels on my car.
I've owned 4 1:1 scale Lotus Europas, two S2's and two Twin Cams. I have a Polistil Lotus Europa, sort of a mix of S2 and TC, and have built several Europa slots using resin bodies.
I've owned 3 1:1 Lotus Elises. A fellow enthusiast is resin casting bodies for me from a 1/32 die cast Elise. Will be building up replicas of my 1:1 car.
I've owned 2 1:1 Lotus Exige. Working on a project to convert a Ninco Exige GT3 to a replica of a street legal Exige to resemble one of my cars.
I owned a 1:1 scale 06 mini cooper S, have a Scalex Mini Cooper.
Owned a 1:1 scale MGB. Have a Scalex MGB.
