Mondays are not normally our favorite day.

But it seems I always order late in the week, and Mondays mean toy arrivals.

Mine was all parts. Lots of Paul Gage tires, Slot.it parts and new wheels from H&R.

What about you folks?

Got my new wiring block!

I got 60 motors - 50 for our Formula Ford series and 10 for testing.

I got five FF180SH motors. They were only a dollar and a half a piece from China with $6.00 postage. I'm gonna try them out. I am taking a chance on them. They were listed as toothbrush motors. I hope they come about the same RPM's as my Colgate Motion toothbrush motors that I have been using in a lot of my roundy round cars. If they work, I'll order a whole bunch more.

I think my new Slot.it McLaren M8d might ship tomorrow or the next day. I got an email from the dealer I pre ordered her from the other day saying it should ship around the 20th.

I got a SRC Capri 2600 LV 24 H LeMans 1974
And the green Carrera Pontiac GTO

I got a 1/32 driver that I am hoping to use in my Autogras Mini! :D
(I know... small things amuse...)
:D

My Alfa GTA arrived.

I tried resisting, but that was futile!

Is it just me or are the wheels on the newer Carrera actually round? It takes very little work to prep these cars! I just "Bibbsterize" the rear bushings, check the wheels, then mount the Paul Gage tires. Put the car on the track and is so nice and smooth and extremely quiet running around my test track.

Once again Harry, your reviews have caused me to spend money! :angry-tappingfoot:

Super job.

I got my decals in for the 70' Camaro repaint. :banana-dance:

That little Alfa. Was thinking I was by myself on these little gems. :) I guess I owe you bigtime huh Marty?

Allright Lee! Time to git'r done!

Harry,

You can resist these little Alfas, that is until you get one in your cotton pickin' cotton pickers. Then when you get it prepared, then run it, this big smile is on your face. One sweet little car that is FUN!

As I said, resistance will be futile. :auto-driving:

This arrived today, Spirit cars seem to sell cheaply these days. Very nice car, simple and functional chassis, runs really well with only very basic preparation.

Nice looking car Balsaworks, I do like the 635's in their various forms.

These two Matras arrived today to keep company with the one I already had...they are all resins.

Pioneer Penske Camaro arrived this morning. First glance it looks great. If someone was wanting to find flaws, about the best they could do is the black numbers on the doors are of slightly uneven density. Looks fabulous to me. Looking forward to taking it out to the track.

One tiny disappointment. No Made in England on the sleeve. :( But I expect the sleeves were printed earlier.
