We just had a slot car flea market in Toronto yesterday. I'll let the pics speak for themselves.

Thank you very kindly, Pete and Jay.
Pete. I was a vendor at the show the selling mostly Hot Wheels in the first corner on the left side of the entrance as you walked in. I was there all day. We could have met. Hopefully we can meet at the next show.
I bought some 1/32 static kits as well for future builds. All in the name of fun.

. If only it had been one day later.I bought a 1/32 Mercedes Benz 450SL kit from the guy on the inside of the corner where you were. Also bought my first NSR and ScaleAuto cars, along with a Slot.it Lancia - all 3 for $60 (they were each missing their rear wing and had some other cosmetic racing "bruises" but well worth $20 a piece for the motors, wheels and gears alone. I have some HO stuff from when I was a kid and I pick up the odd HO car, however, I wasn't really looking that close at HO stuff this time around.

Nice looking Matra, AngloCanadian.
I was also there in 2020 as a vendor with my silly Hot Wheels. We probably all nodded hello at some point. I'll create a post a little earlier for the next show so we can all find each other and shoot the breeze.
I'm the only Ken in Group-25. Just ask around for the slot car guy in the static model building club. I was also wearing a Group-25 red club shirt.
Next show in September. There will also be a model building contest. The guys keep bugging me to get other builders to enter slot cars. I am not allowed to enter the contest since I'm a member. Such is life.
Cheers,
Ken

Nice gaggle of cars, Pete.
You and my brother Luis have the same Airfix Ferrari 250LM kit.
Some friends (Cindy & Marty) often go 1/32 kit hunting for me. Marty dropped this in my lap for mere coffee money. Considering the kit was made in the 60's. It's mint!
A 420R will get created one of these days.

Do they make those kits in 1:64? I'd seriously be interested. I am placing an order for some of the Dash Motorsports bodies that arrive in pieces. Curious what I can do.
In the first picture, there is a strange white car. Any more pictures of it? What is it?
Flea market sounds like fun!

Hello CBWho,
The picture at the very top are two Aurora versions of the Bill Thomas Cheetah.
The other white car eight pics down on the first post is a 1973 AFX Aztec dragster.
Which do you want more pics of? I'll gladly post more.

Dash sells a Charger, Camaro that has separate chrome pieces. My son likes the McLaren. I also ordered a bunch of wheel sets (they are only $2 and that includes 2 rims, 2 tires, and an axle!). I'm thinking of printing or buying sticker sheets.
Where can I download/buy racing inspired sticker or decal sheets?
I also plan to paint or marker in small details.

HO decals are available here.
For Dash bodies. Molotow chrome pens work nicely for door handles and hood pins.

Honestly, I wish there was more cross posting. My primary focus is HO but I do have a toe dipped into 1:32 ScalextricOops, sorry. That was my fault. I didn't check the subgroup before posting.
