Sarnie Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 It was my sons first birthday this week. And being a typical bloke I wanted to buy him something that I really wanted for myself, so I bought him a Scalextric that he can't use for 4 years He seemed as pleased as I was though: He can't talk yet but already he's told me he wants a Radio controlled Helicopter next year I spent about an hour making it up last night, which was 50 mins longer than it should take due to me not reading the instructions and possibly two bottles of Sauvignon Blanc I left it out so that Louie could see it when I got up with him at 6:30am this morning: And I got a funny bit of film of him seeing the car go round the track: Roll on next years presents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Quality Liam! Love the vid too. I want Scaletric again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 You even get jumps for Scalextric now! Is that digital ones? I wondered what the difference was in real life? I remember going to a dudes house and he had a false roof in his garage, it lowered down and there was a Scalextric track on it. Lowered with a pulley and had enough room to walk round. It could be left suspended or put on the floor. It was well cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maccaman Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Happy Birthday to Louie.

rtbiscuit Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 good choice so the reason you were actually away from here was because you were choosing a suitable scaletrix set for yourse....i mean junior thing is once he is old to play it, it will probably take him about a week, before he's better than you, then you'll spend the next 30 years trying to beat him as he does it while texting on his phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kObi Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Ohhh Sarnie, i applaud you sir! your wise ways of finding womens weak spots and manipulating them have not gone unnoticed! Look on the table, cards and flowers! This is obviously the work of a professional. Here is a reconstruction of the conversation sarnie had with mrs sarnie that day... Sarnie: Here you go sweety, these are for you *hands over presents* Mrs Sarnie: *gasp* For Me? Oh thank you! you really are the love of my life. Sarnie: This is just a token of how much you mean to me. Mrs Sarnie: Sarnie: ...say, would it be alright if i buy a scaletrix track for m...louie and set it up in the livingroom floor? Mrs Sarnie: Why of course, you can do whatever you like. Sarnie: Aww thanks. and BAM! Just like that sarnie gets it a new toy! **WARNING** Guys! this is only a quick fix and in a weeks time after the flowers have died and the cards have been thrown away she will be nagging at you to tidy the 'mess' up. You will then have to go down the 'top-up' road if you wish to keep the scaletrix where it is. Either that or as the old saying goes "out with the old, in with the new".

Sarnie Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 They are the dozen grand prix red roses for Valentines day, cost nearly as much as the Scalextric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
