MINI2

MAD Always · Jan 30th, 2005, 08:48 AM

I plan to buy a Scalextric (New) Mini model next time I'm up at Lane Cove.
I have a large collection of 1/32 scale slot cars but I have never had a slot car that will
match my real car in my garage ( CR/W ordered, delivery April).

Armchair racer have a few limited edition "Italian Job" 1/32 scale slot cars in stock.
Check out their web site ( do a google search under "armchair racer").

Cheers,
Paul

Hey that's a good pic then. It'd be terribly blurry if I'd have snapped it!

Harry Morant · Feb 1st, 2005, 10:53 AM

I picked up an IXO models DS Coopers S from the model shop in Braidwood. - its only a 1:43 but very detailed

And here's a few more S':

I said "you could always make your own" - I didn't say I made my own

I found that one doing some surfing last night and couldn't resist. Besides its really hard to get the engine bay just right

DeadCanDanceR · Feb 1st, 2005, 11:04 PM

Actually, my "second new-MINI" was the real one (1:1 scale)...

...but here's a picture of my first new-MINI (1:18) along some older Minis (1:43)...

I received my new model today. A 1/18 kyosho CR/W MC with sunroof. Now this is a good model! It isn't an S but all MINI's are a work of art and this model is a great representation. Makes my other two models look like toys!

The doors and boot open as does the sunroof. I thought for a laugh I'd reach in and grab the steering wheel and guess what? The wheels turned! It will hold pride of place on my glove box organiser now...right next to my Alan Moffat Bathurst '71 XY GTHO falcon.

Pictures don't do it justice but have a look anyhow...

Tux.

I can't help you there. Perhaps if you did a google you might find one.. I know the Chilli Red was hard to find (I actually wanted a Cooper S with a sunroof) but bought this one from a fellow Mini2er.. It has beautiful detail and honestly looks better that the pictures show..

I transferred my number plate today...

DeadCanDanceR · Feb 4th, 2005, 02:58 AM

Thanks! Good idea! I'll try Google! Your Kyosho model certainly looks great...much better than my Burago!!!
