Hi Guys,

Here's what my performance garage looks like right now:





I still have to get the driver and navigator figures for the Subaru but otherwise the cars are now ready to start testing and tuning.

Have you got your rally car prepared as yet? Let us know below.

Both looking sweet. Where did you get the decals and numbers /roundels for the Triumph ? I am looking for some for the Mustang I'm building. The rims on the Impreza , at first glance , appear to be extra wide , but in subsequent photos then appear to be regular width with a seriously deep dish (offset).
Will soon be starting to work on one of Jonathan's cars to race in the 'Rally' class.

Steve,

I actually ordered most of them from Pattos in Australia a couple of years ago, however here are some decal links from the popular US online slot car shops we usually get stuff from:

• HotSlots 132
• 132 Slotcar US
• Electric Dreams
• Professor Motor

You can also have some from my Pattos collection if you like.
