UK Slot Car Festival 2012

Andy and I went to the UK Slot Car Festival 2012 last weekend at the Heritage Motor Centre in Warwickshire.


As well as lots of traders and manufacturers, there were a couple of dozen tracks set up, including several rally stages: one through a construction site...


...another through a farm...


...and even one through a safari park...


Other highlights from the scenic tracks included this tractor pulling a rally car out of a river...


...and this crashed car that had glowing lights to represent an engine fire and real smoke:


I bought a couple of cars - one for conversion and one is a kit to build up, so I'll blog about those when they're completed.  In the meantime, here's some inspiration for John H: a couple of Land Rover conversions I spotted at the show:
