What's wrong with this car

I don't think at any point Montoya1 has tried to claim any different, which is why, like the rest of this thread, the above post is complete, pointless, garbage. But, as you say "Each to his own".

There's five minutes I'll never see again.

Although it is red it is not a Ferrari.

Although it is red it does not appear to be a Red Bull either.

In fact it is a Herring.

Good one sir!

Your favoured HO F1 cars you could hardly call scale and a lot of the time are just the same car with a different livery. Though the latest releases they are making an effort. Each to his own.

I think it is fairly helpful, when one is a BSCRA-ite (or, indeed, a fan of HO) to have a sense of humour about the things others might choose to have a mild bit of fun at your expense over.

The whole 'how dare you knock my thing when yours in lame' schtick is not really the right way to respond, IMHO.

TAXI!

On fire tonight MM.

FIRE! Don't panic, don't panic!

Guys - I think you are taking things way,way too seriously.

people can rag on HO car aesthetics all day and every day, and at no point would I get in the least bit huffy, it's really not worth it.

Using phrases like 'roof falls in' and 'slanging match' in this thread would seem to show hyper-sensitivity and a disconnect from reality.

Mudwrestling aside, has anyone yet found out what's wrong with the car?

Further back in the post.

Lads not really knowing what an HO slot car is i had a set which i bought at Toys are us a long ,long time ago it was in a sale and i think it was called Aurora or something like that would that have been HO i think it had a couple of escort rally cars i am not sure as i bought a couple of cars seperate in the sale would one have been a B.M.W a lexan blob type painted shell there was a Ferrari FI & i think a Tyrell 6 wheeler i remember it was very fast and the cats had plenty of fun chasing the cars and knocking them off , i think it may still be around somewhere i'll have to hunt it down, as regards the car is it a Ferrari ? Keith.

that really had me chukkling Number 27, but seriously have you seen any of Milans blobs. john

I guess that depends on how you define 'good', and therefore 'bad'. Or 'well intentioned'. If you take it too far and reduce the forum to simpering platitudes and pats on the head it loses something, IMHO.

The bashing of Scalextric and the comments about this thread elsewhere cross that line you are talking about, but this thread itself does not, IMHO.

Well i hope people can use some common sense,
this thread is no problem and was started with a good will.

Some people crossed the line here and on a other thread that has been locked.
We should all respect each and others love-fun-toys-opinions,
and when replying or giving an opinion take other peoples feeling into account.

Constructive criticism is a good thing, outright nasty criticism people should keep to themselves or in PM.
That's just my opinion though.
