Rockape Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Couple of cars, ideally Caterham, to amuse my grandkids - and me of course! Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrone Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I'm not sure the Caterhams are the best to amuse kids, they are quite fragile and twitchy. Have a look on Ebay, there is always someone selling a ragtag selection of cars which will go for peanuts. Look for something like the Cadillac LMP cars or the Porsche 962/ Jaguar XJ9 combo which came as part of the Le Mans set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjmmarsh Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 The Nascar cars are normally good ones for kids - very few bits to get damaged and the magnatraction works well. The Caterhams are very hard to drive - they are tail-happy and if you crash them you lose lights/wings/exhaust/windscreens very easily.

Tyrone Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Good call on the NASCAR's Steve and I'm glad it isn't just me and my failing reactions with the Caterham's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burwell7man Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Hi there, look out for the Caterham Cup edition, often see plenty at car boot sales. I have one but I don't really want to let it go. ☹️ Good luck searching on the bay as there are loads of cars and tracks out there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
