Slot cars and economic crisis

In times of crisis, hobbies are one of the first things people usually stop and dedicate the money to more important things. It is the right thing to do, but then, what are you going to do with your free time, with those long winter afternoons? Then it is when you think you are smart and decide to buy a piece of junk because it is cheaper... Yes, you know, Carrera, SCX, Scalextric...they are not so cheap, you can´t spend much money, you need it for something else....WRONG ANSWER!!!! You are just sending your money thru the drain. It is time for bold moves, maybe you discover Compact or GO!!! are not just toys, maybe it is time to take bcak all the cars with small problems you kept apart some time ago, or to decide going all the DIY way... It is time to think and use what you have around to keep your hobby up and running and it would be even better if you could share your ideas with everybody else around, it is time for sharing...Xmas is coming!!!
