  1. Peter Gunn. Thanks for that. Regards Charles Le Breton (charlesx)
  2. Peter Gunn. Sorry to call on you again but I have been waiting for Brumos RSR to send me some information but have been unable to get a reply. Could you ask him to provide the information via AUSLOT or my email - charlesx@xtra.co.nz. Thanking you. Regards Charles Le Breton (charlesx)
  3. Brumos RSR or Barc1. Hi to you both. My Porsche 917 arrived today but I am still holding BARC1's car as I am still awaiting his postal address. Hopefully one of you will log onto AUSLOT soon and send. Regards Charles Le Breton (charlesx).
  4. BrumosRSR and your team. Great to see the live feeds today. Thanks very much to whoever organised. No idea what happened in Round 9 though as I finished second to last after a string of consistent mid-field results and a best effort of 8th on one of the shorter tracks. Did my car breakdown perhaps. All the best for the final round. Regards Charles Le Breton
  5. Hi BRUMOS. Can we have a good picture of R8 track please. Great explanation of layout but a photo is hard to beat. It might be the last picture in the track post but not sure. Looking forward to the last three rounds. Regards Charles Le Breton (charlesx)
  6. Thanks for the good report Peter. I originally thought there were 12 rounds but apparently only 10. You have probably not noticed but R6 was my best result to date. Every mug has its day. Regards Charles Le Breton
  7. Agreed they look really good. Can you give me the Cat. number please. I presume Syd is still the MJK agent. Gave the Quick Slicks a run today. They were also good but just loose fitted with no sanding/truing. Thanks for your help. Regards Charles Le Breton
  8. Thanks Wobble but I need urethane tyres for Bathurst 1000 Proxy. I expect Slot-it tyres would fit if I wanted rubber. Appreciate help and Happy New Year. Hi Mattcrackers. No hurry but when you can would be good. I have not touched car since I bought except for a couple of laps. I may even have some suitable tyres myself. Not sure of MJK go off as I have had then for some time. Happy New Year to you too. Regards Charles Le Breton PS. Have had a look at my tyre stocks but the only suitable MJK tyres I have (subject to re-shaping on both sides) are 4231 Ninco sports. Others suitable ones I had included Super 1407C and I think some Quick Slicks but I have lost label.
  9. Hi Mattcrackers - Happy New Year. Trust your Christmas went well. My middle son and family returned to WA this morning so all is quiet again. Time for slot cars perhaps. Wondered if you ever got around to trying some MJK tyres on Scaly VL Holden. Regards and please pass onto Syd. Charles Le Breton
  10. Hi Peter/Brumos. Can we have a photo of the track please. Looks like my car liked this one a bit better. Thanks for the ride. Regards Charles Le Breton (charlesx)
  11. Peter thanks for the explanation re Delta. That makes sense but never heard before. Ta for your comments too Pepsi62. Will look at the results and comments when all comes out. Sounds like my car had its moments. Thinking it was near to end of the field. Talking about my car - it is 8 years old and has been absolutely thrashed by the grandkids. Still has the original Supergrips. I thought it would have been very easy to drive. Hence a GK favourite (ages 2-10). It is one of NSR Classic series. Regards Charles Le Breton (charlesx)
  12. Hi Peter. What is the delta. Have not heard the term as far as I recall. Thanks for report. Regards Charles Le Breton (charlesx)
  13. Thanks Peter. That looks fairly predictable as far as my car was concerned but some quite big differences (+ or -) with a few others. Regards Charles Le Breton
  14. Thanks Vinno but WA. Bathurst Proxy 1000 requires urethane tyres. I also normally replace Scaly tyres if rules allow. Regards Chas Le Breton
