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

June 02, 2023 The Road to Abergavenny
Scott has gone rally-mad ahead of his trip to Wales for the Abergavenny Rally Slot Car Club summer event. His excitement is palpable. Expect Manta banter, news of Nissans and mention of Mitsubishis to come.

Pedro's fondness for rally cars is more muted, despite confessing to owning several SCX Seat Cordobas, so he throws in an impersonation of a much loved regional retailer to cheer himself up.

Also, how warm English beer is not the best thing to strip the paint off (of) a Stratos, a scarily long list of Pedro's W.I.P and some scenic daydreaming triggered by Magnetic Racing's most excellent wares. There is some schooling on GT classes at the upcoming Le Mans 24hrs, but as it is right at the end most folk won't have to listen to it.

May 23, 2023 The Lay-by on the Road to Gaydon
Finally the sleeps are over! In this episode: a breakdown (not mental); a race report (did the hubs even turn?); Scott paints a picture of the meet and goes wistful over Minic; Pedro's love of Landies, cheese-balls and scenery surfaces; and did either of us spot Vincent from Australia? Oh, and Pedro mentions his wins. Did I mention Pedro mentions his wins? He does. Pedro mentions his wins.

May 18, 2023 The Road to Gaydon
How many sleeps 'til Gaydon?

In this episode we pretend it's not today today but Friday instead. The big question is: has Pedro's heart been taken by, a) the news of the NSR Corvette, b) the news of a Sideways Huracan or, c) daydreaming about Bo Derek (again)?

Whatever, the cracks begin to show as he also points the finger and accuses Scott of having a chip on his shoulder. Not to be outdone; Scott sneezes and threatens the Welsh with a TR7, leaving Pedro to clear his throat and the pair of us to ask, who is this Vincent from Australia anyway?

May 12, 2023 The Steve McQueen Gulf Porsche #20 Special Edition
First up Scott doubtless offends the French with his history lesson, then possibly redeems himself by declaring his lurve of the Fly Renault 4 Turbo. Second up, Pedro doubtless offends the French with an accidental suggestion of garlic-flavoured cannibalism and does not redeem himself. Then there's disagreement over Avant Slot's Beemer news and then there's an Australian accent, a bit about the little known Seventies Ferrari driver, Mandretti, and some LMP2 chat before we all learn of Scott's descent into the dark side of tuning. Plus Pedro hatches a plan to moonwalk to the Policar Classic F1 podium at Gaydon. You know I'm bad. I'm bad. Ow! Hee-hee! Shamone!

May 06, 2023 What Caught Our Eyes, What Got Our Goats This Week and is Zak Brown Royalty?
The Coronation Special. In which we discuss, amongst many other things, is it possible to avoid Can-Am? What was in Scott's parcel last week? Doing stoppies with a Carrera, and there's more Fassbender love/gushing from Pedro. Also, Scott shares some red hot financial advice and Eighties hip-hop stars Run-DMC's excellent decals get a mention. Walk this way.

April 29, 2023 In Which Pedro Interupts Scott (apparently not for the first time) and How Many Hubs is Too Many Hubs?
This week we convened for an all expenses paid lunch (thank to all the subscribers for buying all that merch') with an expensive and disappointing sticky toffee pudding but that barely gets any mention. However, the joy of scenery, tickling fish, Pedro's commissioned Sideways Lexus that arrived, Dave Kennedy's perspective and Scott's hospitality all get full coverage. Plus, we discuss what sells in international departure lounges and should we stop aunties and uncles buying Scalextric? Yes, you read that right; tickling fish. Attention-seeking podcasting at its best.

April 22, 2023 Shadowy Stuff - Drug Dealers, Viagra and a Swapmeet
This week, the Canadians are coming - again - and Pedro is pushed on his thoughts. Also, he remembers some drug dealers, recalls recently finding some packaging for gentlemen's enhancement pills and reminisces about The King of Magnets (R.I.P.). Scott bravely attempts to lift things by quoting Shakespeare, is our correspondent at the Orpington International Swapmeet, tells us what makes him happy and goes a bit teary-eyed over some Cold War Commuter tat. The question is; are we flabby in the middle?

April 15, 2023 What Car Would Evel Knievel Have Raced and Does Bo Derek List to TUS?
Answers to those titular questions aside (See what I did there?), we also discuss what Pedro wouldn't buy this week, what Scott did buy last week and taking on the Youtubers we do an unboxing. On a podcast. That's now a thing. Apparently.

Moving on, there's nothing about 3d-printing because it's dead, observations on two trips to Gaugemaster (the bricks 'n' mortar retailer in Sussex), another race report from Scott's World Tour of British Slot Car Clubs, stuff about the red one with the white roof and the one that's mostly white with blue. And then we even manage to pack in a little bit concerning Truspeed triggers. It's all here, folks. Look nowhere else for slot car content on a podcast.

CONTENT ADVISORY: we do talk a little about model railways and Pedro says tranche. Sorry. It won't happen again.

April 06, 2023 Sean Connery's Slot Car Tuning Tips
Roll up! Roll up! Place your bets as to when Scott drops another former co-worker's (driver's) name! Also in this episode: a correction corrected; live googling of the internet as Pedro asserts a thing and is proved wrong once more; Scott rages against Revoslot; we launch the official and controversial Campaign to Ban B.O.; and we disagree over the best looking blue Sierra.

March 29, 2023 Three Intros and One Incorrect Correction
Nothing if not value for money (and accurate) this episode sports bonus intros at the beginning and end, an incorrect correction that will have to be corrected (the American listener will be all over that), more 3D bemusement and a chat about the Blue Wonder which sounds like a gentleman's performance enhancer but isn't. Also this week, Pedro murders the German language, references Guns 'n' Roses but doesn't sing and questions whether Subbuteo was the precursor to Warhammer. Scott rolls his eyes, declares a fear of electricity and ponders maturity. We also talk utter slot.
