Perfect Day

Her indoors was out for the day and I could indulge myself so after watching the Isle of Man TT review on Eurosport (extremely scary) I spent a wonderful hot and sunny Saturday morning out in the Morris Minor and pottering around second hand bookshops where I picked up the Anthony Pritchard "Maserati - A Racing Hisory" and a couple of other good motor racing reference books. I can see a scratchbuilt Streamlined Maserati 250F as a future project.

I then dozed through the F1 qualifying session on TV and woke refreshed for an hour or so in the model room soldering up an F1 chassis.

I put together the chassis while listening to my choice of music as well as browsing through magazines and books for other ideas for future slot cars.

I finished off the afternoon with half an hour driving a few slot cars in the summerhouse and a glass of something nice and cold in the garden.

What a perfect day and a very selfish one!

Here's the chassis.



What is your idea of a perfect day?

Whoa! That's an awesome chassis.
Did you custom make the rear bracket or can a person buy that somewhere?

What F1 shell is this chassis for? Inquiring minds want to know!

That is a great idea for the suspension detail!
Do you mind if I *try* to copy it too?


I'll be curious how you fit Jim in there with the motor the way it is. I'm running into the same issue, even with a micro motor (because of it's length, not girth).

The shell looks awesome -- I see nothing wrong with it.

I guess I'm Americentric as well, because I agree, an NC2 might go really well with this car. I'm thinking about putting it in my Ferrari 312B.

Well, David, what can I say -- you're my hero!
Just amazing work.
I was going to say this is my favorite, but looking back at your '68 lineup from previous threads, I'm not sure I can say that. Everything you've done is first-rate.

And, you've sold me on that bracket! I'm going to place an order with Chas this week.
