...not to bad I think!

But take care - these are not the final cars - these are samples! There might be a difference to final production cars!!!

...mobile or home? You've to feed your kids firs - or not?

 

[thomas]

...these pictures are pictures of the final printing sample - as soon as teh "real" Ferrari is available, we'll test it - on Scalex and on Carrera - if I've solved the "room-problem" up to then. But the good news for all of you - the F1-cars with the new gear ratio are extremely well driveable - even without mags - but as with all F1-Cars, there is not a lot of space to place additional lead. Comparable laptimes - Ninco / SCX / Scalextric / Carrera will be published later this year in a german/british-joint-venture based in Switzerland

An now I've to call Allan - and interrupt his dishwashing

 

[thomas]

...someone asked for more and better pictures? They are a little big - but....

...enjoy!!!

 

[thomas]

...it's always a little problem with pre-prod-cars -most of the times you won't get the permission to publish the pictures to early

But I wanted to share them with you ASAP! Compare the pre-prod's with the final ones Mark has in stock!
When I get my ones I'll test them together with Swiss - if they only half as good as they're looking

...the presentation of the original 2002-F1-Ferrari
...that's the original

..the Ferrari in action
...and I think, they did a good job at Carrera with the slotcar!

When the little red baby is in my hands, I'll compare the dimensions - but just from comparing the pictures it seems correct to me.

About publishing this news at SCI - feel free to link the pictures from my HP over there - but I'll not post this information there....

Hi Jon,
you're right, there are 2 Ferrari-F1 cars - No.1 and No.2 - and I guess, that in a couple of years teh No.2-car is a collectors itema as everybody is running after Schu's car.
About spy - definitively not! I'm testin lot's of things and I know a couple of people - that's all. And about your TV-Tower... remember I ordered a couple of the old ones - and always when I had finished 1 someone came and bought it - so I need replacements...

 

[thomas]

...mail's gone - and you'll receive a nice goodie within the next days - but I also need your valid adress...

 

[thomas]

...you still owe me a shipping address

And barking helps - I did it for years - about outer outer curve (K4), new gears, scale appearance - and some of the cars which have been released

NEVER stop barking! And don't accept things which don't fulfill your expectations!

if you're missing the sponsor logos- there might be a chance to place a downloadable file on my HP with the correct dimensions so you can print and palce your own decals to add the prohibited Nicotine-advert. on this beautiful toy!
And big thx to getslotted for showing No.2!!!

..the CArrera-livery of the Ferrari-F1 represents the cars raced at the belgian GP in SPA 2002

@ Jon - to be political correct is missing half the fun of life

..on NINCO you've to change the guide - it's to wide to pass the connection area - the slots are narrower there. I've still not got my pair of cars - lost by swiss mail -they're tracking it

I'll keep you informed what's to do to make that beauty a runner! FYI - the Williams-BMW are my fastest F1-cars -followed by Scalex, Ninco and then SCX - all without mag, stock components, tires trued with the RSW (ReifenSchleifMaschine) - running on a fast 30m-Carrera-Track, 14.8V / 3A each lane, Parma 25Ohm controllers...
