Merry HO-HO!

 My older brother whipped me good with that track................we scratched the nice furniture with the cars flying    My mother chased us around with a wooden spoon and raised voice (lots of German cursing)............Ahhh, the memories.

I remember we used to set hotwheel track on fire and it would make this cool noise as it melted & dripped.


My son said he knew he was a adult now because we had to wake him Christmas morning.

Hope everyone had a schöne Weihnachten - I certainly did though it meant being at three different celebarations on Christmas Eve (where the brun of German celebrations takes place) consecutively!

Hotwheels! Ah, I mostly had the competitor products from Matchbox (yellow tracks) and Faller (mulitcolor tracks) but with a little force you could mix components of the three. I fondly remember a "garage" from Hotwheels for Christmas in the early seventies that basically consisted of two rotating rubber wheels powered by batteries that "grabbed" the toy cars at the side and accelerated them to incredible speeds - three loopings in a row!!!

Deviant adult behavior often has childhood roots. I'm glad you didn't do something silly like grow out of it!
