Hobbies is a good male bonding .

I just watched this and it blew me away how fat technology has changed with scalectrix .

You can even program the cars .

I had a massive four lane scalectrix track set up in my garage when i was in my late teens . It was f~~~in huge .

We use to buy beers and get together on a friday night .

F~~~ i wish i had this s~~~ when i was young .

It gets more intresting near the end

When I was 11 years old, I was obsessed with Tyco electric cars. I’d build some elaborate racing tracks in my bedroom and race cars with my brother and my friends.

"I saw that there comes a point, in the defeat of any man of virtue, when his own consent is needed for evil to win-and that no manner of injury done to him by others can succeed if he chooses to withhold his consent. I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)

Nice. We used to have a set up in the loft. Hours of fun. I can see myself tinkering with one of those minature rail set ups when I’m retired. As nerdy as it sounds I’d genuinely like to create a mini city in a spare bedroom or something.
