Jungle Jim

[Badluck 13]

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 .......

Very cool..... Next, you'll want to buy the drag strip set that comes with a digital Christmas tree and finish win/lose lights... Check out Auto World... On the net... ?

You'll see the track sets on eBay also....

Thanks!!! ......yeah I always liked your avatar,sure wish I still had all my stuff from the day,I had a friend who got me into in '73 when it was pretty popular still and I can remember my first AFX car,yellow n black '55 Chevy.We would go to the local hobby shops,we had 4 in the neighborhood in the day and one had a tracks,one for HO's and one for the 1/32,nothing like buying a new car and lettin' her rip right then and there.............fun times!!!

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.

Great Jungle Jim set !

My dad got me hooked on Scalextric, and I switched to AFX around 10 yrs old,..

My favs were the Petty Charger, and the Yellow Datsun pick up truck 

Good times

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.
