Vintage HO slot cars anyone?
I picked these up at a swap earlier this summer thinking that I might put it together for fun. The reality of space has set in though. Anyone collect these?

My favorite toy as a kid was my HO slot car set. :)
Space, the final frontier
Dating myself just a little, OK, a lot - I was thrilled back in 1964 to receive the Grahm Hill endorsed Aurora Thunderjet 500 HO gauge slot car set. The first thing I did was hot rod the cars by swapping for better pick-ups, brushes, and motors. The cars got slicks or racing tyres to improve grip. (Wow did it begin that long ago???) As the years passed my humble track expanded 4 fold and was the hit of the neighborhood.
It now resides in the garage loft. Cars include GT40, XKE hardtop, tow truck, Camaro SS, and numerous others. No 356s were offered :mad:
Am a bit disappointed that a vintage racing set doesn't command a better value - but then it was a very popular set.
