Ruddy love TCR...! A cousin had the one with two "big rigs" and a cop car that used to turn around and chase you. Awesome.

Never had any myself frown I did have the 4-lane Matchbox Powertrak 8000 though smile

You gits!!!

I had TCR as a kid and I've always wanted to get a replacement set frown

Let me know when you decide to slim down the collection as you appear to have a couple of duplicates in there wink

My brother had a TCR as a kid and we spent hours on it!! I remember one of the cars would be permanently stuck to the inside lane.
I seem to recall he had about 6 cars and he would find the fastest chassis then attach his favourite body to it so I never had a chance to win.
I can't really make out the pics as I'm on my phone but a few cars look familiar. The only car we had that looked anything like a 'real' car was a black Porsche, the BMW looked reasonably similar.

It's Wednesday and no shots of a layout yet.

PH is useless.

funnily enough I bought a load of Ideal TCR stuff last week, now considering selling it as I just bought a shed load of TYCO TCR stuff (the american one) which is superior/faster ect but more bloody expensive and very rare over here...

I may cancel my subscription if you continue this tardy behaviour, work is no excuse to avoid cocking about!

I'd never heard of TCR I've watched some vids and it looks like you could just go flat out, is there any skill?

Looking forward to seeing more of this, I was too poor for a TCR set (I had a Race and Chase instead) but I did have a couple of hand me down cars that mingled with my Matchbox ones under hand control rather than electricity.
