Thanks Matt, nice pics mate

Wanna have a word with your club about us visiting you in May?

 

[Mo55man]

Cheers matt,
I ordered one of the Stratos's from Getslotted earlier this week. Look forward to racing it around my "Mosshill" circuit.

[jonny s]

If you get it pretty soon Mo give us some feedback on how it runs please mate?

 

[Intergrali]

that first pic is AWESOME the second just sums it up and the last just lets the post down!!

 

[Mo55man]

You're obviously not a "Fly" fan Inter.

Watch this space Jonny

The 147 looks great, this time the designer/modeler did a good job!!

But the name of Tarquini is Gabriele, not Gabrielle as written on the car base ( a woman's name in italian! ).
Ciao

 

[Intergrali]

nope I just dont like the GT40..

and thats coming from a ford fan!

 

[MRE]

I drive the Team Slot Stratos at Nuremberg, not on a big track but enough to like it. Look very good too............maybe another one for my personal shelf.

PS. I like the GT40 but those little Alfas can go missing for all I care.........

 

[Intergrali]

Gary.. you know where they can disappear to...

thank you!

 

[LSIntegra94]

I would like to here more about the Stratos when someone picks one up. It looks pretty good in the pic.

 

[Wankel Ickx]

Okay, I could find this out elsewhere but is it plastic? Only this one could tempt be out of my several year boycott of all things TeamSlot after that nasty resin Skyline trick they pulled on me.

Brrr, I still shiver at the mention of it.

Think I would have to wait for a less well known livery, too.

This months Motorsport has an article on the Stratos, title is something like -"The First Rally Supercar".

 

[minimental]

i have heard that alfa is front wheel drive

just three words come to mind early scalextric minis

 

[Tropi]

Where did you hear this, Minimental?
Do you really believe it?

 

[Intergrali]

rr3.9 started that!

the alfa has been cross examined and is almost indefinately rwd

minimental, you havnt seen my front wheel drive car.. Grah1, rr3.9 and James will testify it works!

Rob.

 

[James - Junior Racer]

yep, a Escort RS Turbo, a fine runner it is too. Fwd does work, I think all those at Wrexham a few weeks ago proved this.
rr3.9 did run a 156 which he made fwd, that was impressive tooo.
i won't mention my car

if it was a car....

James

 

[Intergrali]

paper weight class wasnt it james?

Rob.

 

[minimental]

frontwheel drive alfa i found it in an earlier thread apparently transvers front

 

[Intergrali]

yeah, look at the pics from nurenburg and the centre console is raised quite high, hinting at front positioned rear drive configuration

Rob.

 

[Mr.M]

Blimey!!

I got a shock when minimentals link went to one of my posts. Had to read it again too, to see what I was going on about.

What I was saying was that Fly seem to be reviewing their policy of copying the mechanical layout of the real car they are modelling from and the fact that the REAL 147 is a transverse fwd car was about to prove this. So I was actually trying to suggest the Alfa WOULD NOT be transverse fwd. So Inte is probably right about front motored rwd, though I would hope it would be mid mounted and thus good competition for Ninco's small hot hatches.

Apologies for any confusion I may have caused!
