      100%. I was totally stunned by the absolute destruction of everything inside my unit. I genuinely thought there would be something left but there is literally nothing.

      @ I read about it on Facebook and was gutted for you. The Slot Car community is an amazing place to be and what’s being released at the moment is top notch.
      I believe the next Swap Meet is at Milton Keynes in February, great little event 👍🏻

    Ken B's ultimate skill was the single seat ! yes in America there's a rally class with no nav. point to point one day race ! and the HOON was a constant winner ! in Europe there's very few SS events ! rally racing's tough enough try it by yourself !

    • @OurTim

      That class of racing sounds awesome, I'll check that out.
      You are right, in Europe there is more team rallying and yes, incredibly challenging, one of the reasons I admire it so much. My reference was his performance in the WRC - of the eight seasons he entered, his best result was 7th place (Mexico 2013). I remember he entered the Donegal International Rally in an EsCos and crashed out in Stage 2. My point was there are lots of other drivers in the series which are far less well known but drive consistently to achieve high positions.
      Full respect to KB - whilst he might not be as consistent, there is no denying his talent and the immense entertainment and inspiration he bought to so many. May he rest in peace ❤️
