Scalextrics gone digital! Did you know?
The perennial favourite for Dads is even better. The digital version of Scalextric enables users to switch lanes and even race in the same lane for even more excitement & skill.
The main difference between the digital and non digital versions is that the cars have a small microprocessor, the hand sets that control the cars and the bits of track that enable lane switching. So if you already have a Scalextric set then you can simply upgrade by buying the new cars, replace your hand controls and buy the bits of track for lane switching!
Your options include:
- Formula 1 racing cars Ferrari, Renault, Honda and McLaren
- the Quantum of Solace DB9 & Alfa Romeo, or
- Mini Coopers and re-live the Italian Job

Maybe Yellow Label, but definitely gold medal! Once again Veuve Clicquot proves its reputation with this poweful, rich, supple wine International Wine Challenge 2003. The Widow Clicquot created the very first crystal clear Champagne in the 18th century and Veuve has remained popular and highly acclaimed ever since. A lovely biscuity, appley nose and an almost apple crumble palate gives out generous fruit overlaid with a yeasty toastiness. Great complexity and a pleasing depth. Creamy and toasty.
