Badluck 13 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 For my past Birthday my wife got me the Auto World Route 66 slot car track just because the week before I was telling her when I was 10-14 I was into the AFX slots and had a ton-o-stuff that I ended up loosing all when we had a house fire and being the sweetheart that she is got me a started set all well knowing it would get me back into the hobby and since then I have picked up a few items here and there and this was the ultimate!!!,Auto World "Jungle Jim" set. Being a HUGE Jungle Jim Liberman fan from back in the day and have many Jungle items and even got to touch,Jungles car at the Garlits Museum which for me was a thrill and very emotional one at that as I miss Jungle dearly...... Yes I have a picture of me touching Jungles car but don't want to incriminate myself ...and yes it looks like I got the HO slot car bug again .......

Sam I Am Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Cool Jungle Jim set !! I still have all my H.O. stuff from the '70s. Lots of magna track, and g+, plus early Tyco. Some JL model motoring cars 'cause the bodies are cool. Large track sets in both AFX and Tyco. My interests have gone into more modern 1/32, so the H.O. stuff hasn't been touched in years.

My favs were the Petty Charger, and the Yellow Datsun pick up truck Good times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamach1 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 They were quite the couple. I still have a LIfeLike set and various cars but have not gotten it out in many years. Same goes for the Sizzlers track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
