You have to use a file hosting site like Photobucket or something and then you just link to the pics.
Hey Dartfork, Nice slotcars!! Do you just run them on a home track or do you run them at public tracks? The big hobby shop (name escapes me) at University and Lexington has an enormous layout in the backroomm, they even rent cars if you don't have your own.

I've only run the cars on my tiny track, and my brothers much bigger "Carrera" track. Yes, I've been to Scale Model Supplies on Uni and Lexington. There is a huge "Android's Dungeon" factor there. I got the impression you had to be a SERIOUS slot race person to have your car touch either of their tracks.
Steve, have you ever thought about making a 1/24 scale slot racer out of any of your models?

Scale model supplies is by FAR the best hobby shop in town, particularly for any type plastic kit and model train stuff.
The thought had crossed my mind to convert a car to a slot car but I thought 1/32 was more common for slots.
I was down there once and the only people on the track was a father and his 8 year old (or so) son and they kept sailing the rental cars off the track so I don't think they are as fussy about who runs as you may think.
Here is part of my collection I haven't really done anything with them for years "still at my parents home"
Its wierd how they even get damaged when they are just sitting there! "notice the blue GTO with the white stripe"a plate had fallen on it not sure how and why though???
