Is that the ones where the bonnets used to fly off? The set came with a junction and IIRC a tunnel?

I had the Super Stox cars.

As I already have all the bikes I need I bought one of these to go with them:




An Oregon Scientific ATC3K action camera with a 4GB SDHC memory card. That gives 2 hour recording time. Should be enough.

When I ordered my Felt MTB from Wiggle, I was given £50 to spend on anything from their cycle range, and these cameras were part of that range. Bargain, saved over £500 on my MTB and then another £50 on this camera.

I'll let you know once Ive used it, only received it at the weekend and have just got the memory card for it today.


I have heard that its not wise to use the handlebar mount, as any change in steering angle is caught on camera and can lead to motion sickness when replaying it
