Were you into Hot Wheels as a kid?

Yes - and still am!

Hot Wheels -('68-'72 only - Spectraflame Years)

Before Hot Wheels I had Matchbox but dropped them like a rock when Hot Wheels came out. (I still kept the Matchbox yellow Jeep around as a pit vehicle).



Also loved HO slot cars and Plastic models.

Not so much Hot Wheels or Matchbox for me, but many, many hours racing HO scale slot cars. My brother and me had a nice track set up in the basement spread out over a ping-pong and picnic tables. We designed a long straight into the layout which resulted in many spectacular over the guardrail wipe outs (we improvised by adding a cardboard retaining wall at the end of the straight), and using our lap counter would stage 500 lap races. Great memories!
