They are so ugly that everyone of you should mail them all to me immediately. I will attempt to destroy them by racing them into the ground.
I am willing to make this sacrifice just so you guys don't have to gouge your eyes out from looking at them. I know it's a huge sacrifice but I will do it for the good of the home racing world community. You can P.M. me and I will give you my address. You don't have to thank me, knowing I've saved all of you will be thanks enough.

Mark, are these repaints or standard issues? The pictures are brilliant, very professional - I think I'd describe them as portraits. Is photography your regular occupation, or are you just a talented amateur? :P Mark

I've gotta admit that the Liptons one doesn't do a lot for me, but the Black one and the Red road car I love, I rue the day that I didn't get them when they were new. Thanks for posting.

Ugly? Not at all. Funny enough though - I LOVE the racing liveries - the street cars is where I start to notice the inaccuracies of the car. Funny that I don't have a street version...

Very nice photography. Did you remove the guide flags from the cars or from the photos?

I always remove the guides - the cars just won't sit right otherwise and aligning to pre-cut slots is a pain in the backside. I will say that the old Scalextric guide is a dream to remove compared to some of the other manufacturers. Mind you in saying that the latest Scalex Trans-Am releases have a guide that seems to simply fall out if you look at it long enough....

Seems to be a bit of chassis twist in a couple of them Mark. I notice both the red and the black have air beneath their front wheels. Not that it matters if they are shelf worriers rather than track warriors.

Embs - chassis are fine, it's my placement of something underneath that causes the front wheels to lift slightly - I did notice it on the black car post photographing..... oh well - something else to remember for next time.....
