I know it's a little early, and while the V8 taxis are boring, it is still Bathurst.

Went to the swapmeet today. Saw an AFX set with a Glenn Seton car. Dudes says, I have that one, and I have the Peter Brock Bathurst AFX in the trailer. Wholly bat shit!!! Needless to say I got it, so my ritual may have to alter this year. Watch and race first third, sleep second third, watch/race and drink beer last third.

The chase had to duck around the leg of the futon.

There is something nice about this shot through Skyline!!

There is always the Playstation if it is too boring as well.

Thats cool.

I also used to have that brocky car....Untill i go the shits with it being a skyline and filled it with moddeling putty till it looked like a VN then repainted it....Think this was at the age of 9 or so. Its actually not so bad even for that age looks more like the car should than it did when i got it (as shown in your picks). Problem was it was heavy as frOck with all the putty so didnt really go so well.

Cheers.

I picked up the A/FX Brock Skyline probably 8 years ago at a swap meet for about $20. I still have it along with a couple of other "rare" beats.

Don't choose the Seton car, no matter how fast it goes or how far out in front it gets it will always let you down!

Great layout but looks a bit flatter than the real thing.

To tell you the truth would probably be better perfectly flat. Mmmm, maybe I should do a Jeremy Clarkson, and put track out around the real track for a 'Toy Challenge'. How fun would that be?

Having a blast with this most senseless expenditure of cash. My middle daughter and I had an awesome race.

i've got the bathurst track with cars, used it twice from memory coz it was to bloody big to put up, i dont have the original box but have everything. Have had that since it was brand new.
