Fast Cars

Julian & Kerry

Who wants to live forever? Cryogenics, anyone? Nah, me neither. This kind of appeals tho' - my friends Julian and Kerry have been immortalised via the medium of Scalextric. You heard right; slot car racing is a big thing at The Dragon pub in Nottingham. So much so, not only can you take part but you can be in the crowd; as in be in the crowd. Pretty cool, huh?

  1. I don't want to live forever... but the idea of shrinking my body down and being fixed to the side of a racing track for all eternity is the stuff of nightmares.

    1. Hmm, now that you put it like that; there's a whole Abominable Dr. Phibes thing going on...

  2. I quite like it as an idea. I was pretty obsessed with plastic figures as a kid. Being turned into one at some point, hopefully far into my future, 30 years say, is quite appealing

      Move along folks, nothing to see here.

  3. I don't want to live forever but I wouldn't mind being a plastic figure, as long as they gave me good hair and a cool outfit.

    Can you imagine a set of blogger figurines? We could all be immortalised in plastic so that we can live on long after the internet has called time on our blogs.

    1. Good hair and a cool outfit? I'm sure that can be arranged...
