Oh… sometimes I just LOVE to be a Blogger!
This time me and the Big Monkey have een having fun with Scalextrics James Bond style! We’ve been playing… erm… test-driving and reviewing… the Awesome James Bond 007 Scalextric Track featuring the classic Aston Martins DB5 Vs. DBS (and well… twisting the theme a bit we added an orange McLaren MP4 to the mix)
There isn’t a lot to be told apart from the obvious, no matter the age of the kiddo playing with it (although I do suggest ages 5 upwards… and beware there are small parts included…)
The best bits:
- Mains powered so no need to mes about with batteries (hooray)
- Precision Controllers meaning you can adapt your driving style to the curves of the track you build (Big Monkey’s best trick with that was drive fast and fly off the track… he laughed EVERY time it happened)
- Criss-crossed and narrow tracks make the race much more fun and well… competitive (at some point our objective was not to finish the laps but knock each other’s cars off the tracks more times).
- The Aston Martin model details were just great! Although… it is mine and Tommy’s opinion that if they showed James Bond inside the car, and had headlights and break lights like the McLaren does (The McLaren also feats a STIG feature inside!! awesome) it would make the fun even better
- Knocking cars off the tracks… of course…
The not so good bits:
- Well… there is only one… if you don’t go at the Criss-Crosses at enough speed the cars will get stuck there… meaning the car behind will either crash on you or you will have to stop the race to get the car back in the track… Well… Of course our choice was always hit the car stuck… hehehe… A bloody inconvenience having to get the car back in the track loads of times eeeevery time we did it tho… but neeeeever mind. it was still fun!!!!
All in all Thanks a Lot to The Scalextric Team for the hours and hours of fun provided with the kits!!! 
Definitely APPROVED by the Urban Vox HQ!!!!!
hehehhe
