    Online Scalextric

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/34770.html

    I know one of the guys from the company who developed the technology for Hornby. It's gotta be a geek thing.

    Nuff' said.

    Scalextric rocks - I have two sets that occasionally I get out to make one REALLY bit track with.

    The cars are nackered though, lol.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
