    Great site Andy, love it. I actually grew up in Rochford, not far from the old factory - my Dad took me there when one of the cars didnt work out of the box and they gave us a new one - sadly that's all I can remember from age 9!
    I'm restoring the Race and Chase now for my little girl, I'm so glad to have found somewhere I can get new tyres!

    Just got my vintage Race and Chase set in the mail on Friday. Tracked one down finally after doing some leg work to find one. It has the Police car missing.
    Brings back some great memories of playing in the hallway as a kid.
    Thank you Andy for the great job of setting up this site. Awesome information and my new home for bits and pieces that I need.
    Look forward to supporting you.
    G'day from Perth, Western Australia ??

    Andy.
    Superb site. Brought all those memories back. Great to have all this info in one place. Have a couple of old sets in my loft, both Lanechanger and Powertrack. Also have a quite scarce A4 Powertrack brochure in excellent condition. Could send some scans if you would like to add to your site.

  • Mike Hudson (Sunday, February 05 17 08:58 am GMT)

    Hi
    Just found a Race N Chase set in my Mums loft, pretty complete missing the Corvette and the Police car is a bit bashed up.
    Looking forward to trying to restore it all. Your Car servicing video is a great source of info.
    Love the site !

    Hello from Ireland, brilliant site.

  • Eddie Evans (Sunday, March 22 15 11:30 pm GMT)

    Great Site Andy, I created the Wikipedia page with the help of XYSdad. I am interested in obtaining the Taxi shell and wonder if you could expand on how to do this on your site. I have added your
    site to links section to the Wikipedia site as well

  • Allan Lyford (Tuesday, January 20 15 03:07 pm GMT)

    Hi Andy, Thanks for supplying the spare parts for me to renovate the Monza 2000 Powertrack that I originally brought for my sons long ago. So their their sons can enjoy it as well. A special thanks
    also for sorting out the part of the order that went missing with paypal, and supplying the parts and fitting instructions so quickly.

  • Graham Morgan (Wednesday, January 14 15 01:42 pm GMT)

    Love the Site. Will buy some cars in near future. Have been looking for someone local to buy spare parts from too. I know you also serviced my cars but could you please include servicing section on
    the site for maintenance.

  • Lee Townsend (Monday, January 12 15 09:30 pm GMT)

    I\'ve just purchased 3 sets of tyres and a race and chase controller to get my old set running. My 5 & 3 year old children spent all evening with all the lights in the house off racing. They
    don\'t make them like this anymore!

  • joe (Sunday, August 03 14 08:24 pm BST)

    Love the website!! as a kid in 1978 I was given an international 1000 speedtrack for xmas. Corvette vs Porsche and 33ft of track to determine a winner. I still have it and thanks to ebay I get it up
    and running every 5 to 10 years or so. I'm currently looking to build a permanent track setup (20'x12') on a pulley system in my garage as it has grown in size over the years.
