I can't believe that we've got Crafts, Gardening, Computer Games (ok, I started that one too!), Books, Politics and even an Excel thread, but we don't have any modellers?! Specifically my latest interest is 1/10th radio controlled electric buggy racing - off-road, dirt and astro, 2 wheel drive at the mo, but the other guys race 4wd too. So, anyone else do this, or interested in it? Or we could talk about train sets or Scalextric or tin soldiers or whatever you want! Or am I the only nerd  that is prepared to admit they play with toys (they're not toys, right!)  G

Right, that's it, you're on the naughty step AR! How very dare you. Are mobility scooters carbon fibre, highly engineered machines, that go 50mph and fly over jumps and race, wheel to wheel? Actually there was that eejit that put a big engine in a mobility scooter, wasn't there? No, they are model cars, but they're really exciting to race and for anyone who likes real car racing, they're incredibly realistic in terms of tyres, suspension set up etc. Anyhoo, I knew I was probably opening myself up to ridicule...!

I must admit I also understood the title to mean mobility scooters.
