We are all addicts and it`s gonna make me rich in the future! I`m gonna start therapy sessions to ease people off buying cars that sit forever in dark rooms. The clever thing is, knowing you guys won`t sign up...I`m gonna send the info for my group sessions to your other half!! First though I gotta get the treatment myself

Oh my gosh! I have just realized that I haved joined this hobby only 1 year ago and I have already something like 40 or 45 cars. Does that mean I should have something like 500 cars in 10 years?!

At least. Anything less and you'd be slacking, frankly.

And don't forget the need for more track, then a room, outhouse or loft conversion to put it in. Then you'll need buildings and people and trees. Lots of people and trees.

Cows and tractors are nice too.

Up side is you save money on socialising (you won't) but the inevitable divorce is always expensive.

I`m sure Nuro told me it was buy a car for every post you make on SF? "Nuro! my Mrs. wants a word mate!"

What! He's buying you a car for every post you make? No wonder you've been suffering the web forum equivalent of verbal Diarrhea this past few weeks.

But tell your wife not to worry - Like Hornby and Fly future release lists it'll be ages before any of these cars arrive.

Well a full time slottie needs to unwind and there are so many topics that need my light hearted and casual approach to the hobby

The more posts the better.


I got back into this hobby about a year ago and... just counted cars from the last twelve months.

Blimey had a rough figure in my head, but the actual amount has exceeded it by a fair ol'bit.


I think the first few months is incredibly addicitve because of the overwhelming choice. Once the initial 'new/novelty' period is over, you can narrow down & be more selective in future purchases - well thats the plan...

Nice one Jamie. Can`t understand the logic of not posting meself
How else this goona work
The only worry I have about stashing the cars is this problem with tyres hardening. Just discovered a couple of Fly classics with solid tyres

I started this hobby a month ago when I got myself two scalextric sets for christmas. One month later I have 17 cars, and two more are in the mail.
Now I'm looking at another set, aftermarket controllers and some more cars that will be bought within the next weeks...

Never thought I'd become so addicted to this hobby...

Not only I am buying cars and spares and spending time at the club races ( and here on the internet )
: every hour of use I take them apart and wash carefully all the bits with dish soap, obviously in the kitchen and in the bathroom, then I place them in the living-room and in the dining-room to dry up over a clean bath tovel; sometimes there are eight or ten cars together. Am I addicted? Ask my wife!

Addiction is also how many times you think about slot cars during the day - or night !

I think more about slot cars than sex ! So that makes me really addicted to slot.

Regarding the number of cars, (just gone over 900 in my case), yes, it's a matter of money but also a matter of choice. Would you rather buy some new clothes or a few cars instead ? Get a wild night out with a sexy lady or some cars ?

Almost everything I have to buy is translated to the number of cars I could buy with that amount of money. Sounds like a very addicted mind to me ...
QUOTE I think more about slot cars than sex !
So do I and this might be a function of age!
As long as you don't think about them DURING sex, this is probably acceptable behaviour!

Slot racing is life, everything between is just waiting. Sex can help to shorten the waiting time

I like slot cars and racing, but for me it has to be the wild night out with a sexy lady!

However, seeing as I've been married for 12 years I'm not sure my wife would let me
