Talking Utter Slot

By Scott

Grown men playing with slot cars is much more fun if you don't take it too seriously. Be it Scalextric or Carrera, NSR or Slot.it, or even old Ninco and Fly, there's fun to be had with all of them whe... more

September 05, 2023 Slot Rally GB: How It All Began.
How a throw-away idea over dinner became a two-day festival of slot cars and rallying. Gold plated trophies, cars running through water, a hill climb to a castle and lots of happy people. It was never repeated, but it kick-started a fondly remembered, multi-year slot rally championship with events across the country, limited edition cars and many fond memories. Here is how it all began.

August 18, 2023 Take it to the Nationals
In which much love is, repeatedly, poured on Electric Dreams (other retailers are available) as we take it to the Nationals. Also, we completely ignore the numerical significance of this, our 32nd episode and make no mention. There's much discussion around Slot It's plans announced at... Electric Dreams; Scott cuts it up about lawnmowers, large (1:1) and small (~1/32); Pedro briefs us on his SD1 preparations, predicts the 2024 Car of the Year and both threaten to sing a Tom Jones classic. Standard issue episode, really.

August 11, 2023 Corvettes & Coca Cola
With a slew of new models imminent, we ask can you have too many Corvettes? Scott certainly has too many Cokes.Thus fuelled, he gets up early and drives to an actual model shop to buy a Scalextric Marlboro Rover while Pedro has it home-delivered. Both agree it's Slot Car of the Year, for today at least. Pedro is still painting and decalling white kits - including a Coke one - while Scott has speed-built some tanks and gets classic F1 inspiration for his Bond Bug kit: why have three wheels when you can have six.

July 31, 2023 The Art of Being Happy with What You Got
Getting all philosophical about his self-inflicted poverty, Scott kicks off quoting an ancient Greek to justify not buying any cars. Don't worry, the regular and much loved features 'Pedro Has a Pop At...' and 'What Caught Our Eye' are here, now joined by 'Van Talk' as we pick up on the trend for commercial vehicles. Not to be outdone by St Dave of Kennedy, Scott models a T-shirt, gets way too excited about a three-wheeler while Pedro talks us through some white kit work and the lavish upgrades to his facilities (phnarr). Best of all, and right at the end, the podcast dog makes an appearance.

July 23, 2023 Melting: Topical Tales of Tyres & Ice Cream.
The postman has knocked twice and delivered stuff to both Scott and Pedro: find out who got what. Also, unresearched corrections, opinions and Pedro explains the slot car justification for his ice cream habit. Meantime, Scott talks (and talks) tyres, trucks and offers free advice to the manufacturers. Again.

July 15, 2023 When Two Rights Make A Wrong 'Un
In which our heroes' faces are accidentally revealed. Other nasty shocks discussed: has NSR made a (pink) pig of the latest Porsche 917, Pedro's theory on AUTOart's buzziness model and will he resist an AvantSlot Nissan. Pedro goes on to name without doubt the dullest livery on a Beemer ever and Scott pleads for Scalextric to make a Gitanes Rover, plus, he talks aerosols.

July 06, 2023 "How Many Handbags Would You Like?"
In which we canonise Dave Kennedy, invent handbag pit-boxes and use the word synaesthesia entirely appropriately. Scott details his many eBay bargains from this week, quoting both Vivienne Westwood and Oscar Wilde, while Pedro talks paint. There's also some discussion on the limits of will power in the face of continued availability of Policar Ferraris and MR Slotcar Shadows.

June 28, 2023 Talking Utter Cobras
Somewhat jet-lagged and half asleep (you decided which is which) we seize, gently, the opportunity of being halfway through the year to weigh up the current runners 'n' riders in the race for Slot Car Of The Year. Inevitably there's what caught our eyes (guess what made Pedro swear) when we talk utter Cobras. And Corvettes. Later Scott quotes Churchill and fondles a 934 while Pedro has a cosmic revelation about cheese balls.

June 16, 2023 Le Mans - The After Party
Quiet, please. Scott is recovering from his epic racing weekend, which we discuss. Also: we destroy Italian pronunciation, Australian and Lancastrian accents and broaden out to do movie reviews. We drive Lunar Rovers and quad bikes, patronise those two listeners in America we once had; discuss the price of a Trannnnzit-ah and wonder about Bond films that never had 'slot' in the title. All that and more, plus Pedro regurgitates his fondness for... what?

June 08, 2023 Longing for Le Mans
Releasing episode #24 on the eve of the 24hrs of Le Mans?

It's almost like we planned it.

Expect talk of La Sarthe, that Jenson Bunsen and his Garage 56 entry, Stars 'n' Stripes liveries and Fassbender news. Pedro also shares his opinion of white liveries, especially Chaparrals and there's a suggestion the DiSCA 24hr slot car race should create a Garage 56-style entry for a Talking Utter Slot team running a box standard Carrera.

Scott also reports back on all the fun of the Abergavenny slot car rally (spoiler: he came last).
