We had the Aurora slotcars with the rheostat controllers that looked like a little dashboard. You'd turn a little steering wheel to vary the speed. You'd always break the steering wheel off when you got excited, and have to turn the stub with your fingers until the pain got to you. Sublime. I remember the first set came with a white Ford Mustang convertible and a red, splitwindow Corvette. <BR/><BR/>Awesome fun, and all sorts of steampunk engineering to keep the things going.SippicanCottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14940797380578921776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-12804176331332362792008-07-18T13:49:00.000-04:002008-07-18T13:49:00.000-04:00who didn't have cox chapparel 2D? with the fuzzy ...who didn't have cox chapparel 2D? with the fuzzy silver pickups!

It was quite cool, and I spent a lot of my allowance running my car there.stephen matlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04547568823080880459noreply@blogger.com
