I remember TCR racing, thinking back I don't think it ever worked properly.
My one toy I really enjoyed was a large bag of Lego.
It would cost a fortune at todays prices, but to be honest I don't know what happened to it.
 For all I know, Mum and Dad probably threw it away. :'(

Stick it on Ebay, worth an absolute fortune nowadays!!

Not many things that I had when I was younger that I wish I had now, as has ben said before - when you get bigger so do the toys.

But I will confess to having just bought an airfix helicopter of Ebay the other day. It arrived at the office this morning and I had a whole 10 minute flashback to my youth whilst I was carefully unwrapping it all and unfolding the instructions out :D

Best toy I ever had was a bit of old junk that I crafted into a nozzle that held the top of a 2 litre plastic coke bottle with a perfect seal. Had a feed from the garden hose to fill it with water, and a feed from a foot pump in case more pressure was required. pump up the bottle and release... :o

I perfected the ratio of air and water required for maximum height, and things started to get a little scary with respect to the neighbour's greenhouse, so I tied a 150 foot length of kite string to said bottle thinking that'd keep my little rocket under control. Nope. String pulled tight and snapped, bottle carried on regardless. :o

Had more fun playing with that than I would with any expensive toy.

I suspect it's a good thing I didn't have an air compressor then. I have now, though... ::)

Remember caps, they used to come in a little round cardboard box which was wrapped in a paper tube. One day I placed about three boxes still wrapped in the paper tube on a kerb and whacked them with a lump hammer, I had ringing in my ears for days ;D

Another on was get a big nut and two bolts and put as many caps in the nut as possible and tighten the bolts into either end of the nut then throw it in the air, when it hit the deck it would explode and sometimes come apart. It was hours of fun until it went through Martin Craigies front window, my dad beat the living daylights out of me, them were the days ;)
