Actually, the track was a Christmas present from my son. He thought it was a funny joke. I put it together and run my cars down it so the joke was on him. rotfl

You know it's funny, but I've never been a fan until recently. There's one at work that is mint. :drool: Kudos on the mini version. :up:

I wasn't a fan until I saw one in person.

Ya.. it's on consignment.
Ya... the owner spent over 65k restoring it 4 years ago. Only has 1k miles since. It's probably better than new now.-eek- Someone has spent a lot of time and $ on that car.
