I'm Sorry: I Have A Cold

Talking Utter Slot ·

2024/01/25

Fighting back manfully as only men can, your courageous (and possibly still contagious) hosts bring tales of Glam Rock, recreating the 1980s with slot cars and lizard based race liveries. In a rare educational moment, Nick enlightens Scott about Chase Cars:innovative chassis which allowed slot cars to exhibit realistic body-roll while cornering. And Nick's been given a useful tool he can't find a use for. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Big Yellow Taxi

Talking Utter Slot ·

2024/01/11

There's a strong whiff of old England with talk of tweed and Morris Minors, even references to football. By way of balance, we guess at what Carrera are up to Las Vegas and there's almost no talk of slot rallying. We reflect upon the sad news from a British hobby stalwart - you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone - and Nick reports back on what it is like to have your possessions fondled.A packed show so don't delay. TAXI! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Playing With Toy Cars - Full Version

2024/01/09

(Sorry : we had a glitch in the previous upload of EP50 which stopped at 20min when it should be 45min long. This is the full version.)The year might only be days old but Scott has already been spontaneous shopping for shop-themed slot cars - it was a bargain, apparently. Nick has been repurposing a Scalextric Porsche: is his love affair with old Subarus over? We pose the BIG questions: where have all the Kaliber Sierras gone and are the latest Scalextric releases both pink or not?Elsewhere, Scott

Nick has been repurposing a Scalextric Porsche: is his love affair with old Subarus over?We pose the BIG questions: where have all the Kaliber Sierras gone and are the latest Scalextric releases both pink or not?Elsewhere, Scott extols the simple joy of running laps with some old cars and Nick, having done so well, couldn't help himself talking about Slot Rally

Auld Lang Slots

Talking Utter Slot ·

2023/12/31

What better way to fill the hours before midnight on New Year's Eve than by listening to the ruminations of two middle-aged men who play with toy cars.Yes, it's the year end edition of your favourite slot car podcast:Talking Utter Slot. It's a double celebration because the podcast is one year old this week. No, we didn't think it would last this long either. There's looking back, there's looking forward, there's the drinking of beer, there's even a couple of technical glitches, but there is

Slots At Solstice

Talking Utter Slot ·

2023/12/21

Giddy with excitement ahead of Christmas, or possibly too much Night Nurse, Scott sees strong hints of a new Carrera Ferrari and muses on the morality of modelling dead men's cars. Nick has Super Glued his specs, but paints on through the haze only to discover the much anticipated ScaleAuto Mitsubishi is too wide for Slot Rally GB. Undaunted, he's also converting ancient Airfix kits into yet more rally cars and looks forward to buying more StaffsSlots wheels. As it's the season of giving, Nick

Return of the Saint

Talking Utter Slot ·

2023/12/13

Excited by upcoming motorsport movies (yes, plural), we wonder if the story of Walter Röhrl might better be told by a grand Wagnerian opera. There's lots of Germanic intrigue, treachery and triumph, not to mention iconic cars from Lancia and Audi, even a secret mid-engined, 4WD Mercedes. Nick has been tempering his frustration with the postal system by stripping in the cause of saintly loveliness while Scott is overjoyed to have his rims renewed and pleased to encounter some stiff stub

Clubbing With The Queen

Talking Utter Slot ·

2023/11/30

While Fly's release of a tiny Tom Cruise might be satire, is the model of the late tiny Queen Elizabeth's 911 treason? For one thing, where's the Corgi? Fortunately, Scott has a solution.Nick, fresh back from the Wye Valley Club slot rally in Abergavenny, reports on how the bargain bucket Scalextric Subarus got on and asserts, quite assertively, that a NSR Porsche 911 is not a rally car no matter how many co-drivers you add to it.There's also talk of Super Bonkers Skinny Motors, Tungsten putty

The Search For The Green Morgan

Talking Utter Slot ·

2023/11/17

All great quests start somewhere and The Search For The Green Morgan is no different: it starts today. Not to be left out, Nick's quest to repaint as many Scalextric Subraus as he can find on eBay continues despite, checks notes, 'rampant profiteering' by the spray paint makers. Elsewhere there is discussion on the merits of a pig-whale hybrid: unwelcome as a slot car (think Porsche liveries) but could produce epic bacon rashers if such a Chimera were ever achieved in reality.

Cogs & Comlications

Talking Utter Slot ·

2023/11/10

Family links mean Nick is uniquely excited about the upcoming Avant Slot Mitsubishi Galant BTCC car, sparking hopes for a renaissance of Supertouring slot cars.There's talk of racing Citroën Méhari, hopes for a dinosaur liveried Porsche and curiosity about just how many cogs are under the new Scalextric Land Rover. Meanwhile, in the Ford Puma WRC match, Spain are 2-0 up. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

… and then there were three.

Talking Utter Slot ·

2023/11/02

Posing the questions other slot car shows shy away from, we ask this week's guest, Tom Howard, world rally reporter at Autosport magazine: "Have you got axel mankers?" Nick has discovered how affordable old Scalextric Subarus are and has embarked on a mission to relivery as many as possible: where there's a decal, there's a way. Meanwhile, Scott is still digging out old rally cars, this week a classic Fly 911s and a Team Slot Lancia. There's also debate as to the merits of brown bar magnet cars,

Cops & Robbers

Talking Utter Slot ·

2023/10/26

Are we paying too much for our toy cars? Is £250 daylight robbery or is the new Avant Slot Mercedes double set actually a bargain? Nick's getting more bang(ers) for his buck by kit-bashing re-released snap-fit models to bolster his TV Cop Shows fleet. With so much focus on law enforcement, Scott confesses to arson, or at least very unwise pyromania with classic Scalextric boxes. There's also a great joke which involves reference to the 1980 hit single, Fade To Grey. Hosted on Acast. See

Conversation About Collecting - Part 1

Talking Utter Slot ·

2023/10/22

Like many of us, Gareth started playing with and then collecting slot cars. A lot of slot cars. So many he didn't know the exact number. Then it lost its magic and he sold them.This two-part conversation covers both sides: the fun involved in building up a collection and then, in part 2, doing the unthinkable - selling them.

Bust In Monte Carlo

Talking Utter Slot ·

2023/10/19

You say Mona-co, I say Mon-ah-co. Either way it's all Monte Carlo and Nick's hotel minibar is expensive, as are the latest amazing creations announced by Hobby Classic and Modelant. There's accusations of shaved chassis, bemusement at half-painted models from Fly and, in a public service for those who love us, suggestion of what we might like to find in our Christmas stockings. Yes, it's nearly that time. Colour of the week is green as Scott takes delivery of the latest from Carrera and Scalextric

Brown Cars Matter

Talking Utter Slot ·

2023/10/12

Brown slot cars aren't as rare as you think, if indeed you ever think about such things at all. We do.We're also wondering if the driver of the new Scalextric Lotus Esprit is carrying a few extra grams?Looking for a quest? Try finding John Lennon's old Mini, just watch out for the rival gangs of Mini and Beatles fans also on its trail. If there's ever another Indiana Jones movie...Meanwhile, Nick's started a Miami Vice themed slot car collection. Cue the synth music. Hosted on Acast. See
