@@Kellerkind80 haha, yeah for sure! That's a nice anecdote, I feel fortunate that I've enjoyed "the last decade" of cool analog toys if can say that way, there was also video games as I'm from the 90s, but I'd never change the magical environment that I was able to create as a child playing with my toys instead of video games. If I had the chance to choose between a 1/18 Bburago and a Nintendo (any version) or PS , I'd had always take a Bburago or so. My passion for diecast collectibles began with the old school toys of my Father that he let me play with, lovely cars made by GAMMA Toys, Schuco, Corgi, Matchbox, Arnold, Tonka, Polistil... , most of them with cool and mechanical features such turning wheels, suspension, horn, gears, etc. That was the toys paradise for me, a bit uncommon in a time of quite modern things too, but those little car toys had me playing delighted through my chillhood, I was careful while playing with diecast replicas as much as I could, knowing that they were not for playing, so most of them had survived... I just couldn't resist driving them by their steering and staring at the dashboard decals. That was such a preciuos experience. :-) Kind regards.

I sure do my friend. You are talking about Mattel's Dareplane. What you are thinking of is one of the sets was the Barnstormer set. There were a few sets and also a few designs to this. The first one was the type with the delicate tethering attachment. Later, they came out with one that was a little more robust but not as much fun. My uncle had the original, and whenever I went over there I played with it. It was really fun and worked well. There were rumors that these were all recalled, but we never heard about it.

Keep in mind the Mattel was earlier than the others profiled, likely mid 1950s. The construction is very similar to their Jack in the Box toys (Interestingly, you can find a video of early Mattel on youtube, showing them making the Jack in the boxes). My toy came in must a plain brown box. So kids that were used to the toy technology of the time like enjoyed this. It is a very strange toy, I don't play with it much, as I am afraid if anything breaks on the inside, it would be a very difficult repair.

Picture the scene, it was 1982 VERY heavy snow, Two days before christmas in Daventry Northamptonshire, on the way back from shopping my mother hit black-ice whilst driving the exact same model of Austin seen in this video. We clipped the kerb.. hit the verge rolled right over and myself, my sister and an Afghan hound and one weeks shopping were momentarily trapped in a very slow washing machine. Once the vehicle had stopped rolling, amidst a mayhem of scratching dog-claws, screaming sister and mother, still falling now burst-open boxes of cornflakes (which were everywhere) tinkled slowly down seemingly off everywhere, I climbed up the rear seats, scrunching Cornflakes (car was now on its side), and opened the door. A laughing 11 year-old me (never been so excited... it was nearly christmas), looked down into the car I could see my mother was more annoyed that the cereals were now wasted than the state of the car, so I reached down and pulled up my 9 year old sister and we both sat on the side of the drivers door (which now faced the sky) and waited for a passing car to wave down, all whilst my mother tried to pick cornflakes from around a now quite comfortable Afghan hound. After 10 minutes two farmers stopped in a van, so, now content that the shopping was 'Probably going to be ok', my mother took the dog and stood outside the car whilst the two farmers rolled the car back onto its wheels, I straightened the drivers door-mirror. Then just assuming that it would start as normal, my mother said "Ok come on we have to get home and get the frozen stuff in the freezer". We thanked 'the farmers' so my sister, the dog and I got back in, the car which started first time and we drove the 20 miles home, without a single mark or dent on either us nor the car... only the Now Hairy Cornflakes were lost. After this, we referred to this car as 'The Tank'. Sorry to go on, and I know this has nothing to do with the toys, but this great video triggered a great memory.... So what did we learn from this? Simple: BUY AN AUSTIN! 🏆

Wow that is an awesome story. My sister drove my Dad's 1966 Buick from 1976 to 1979, as it was our "extra" car. It did not have a very good parking brake. One day after work she came out and her car was gone. She was going to call the police about a stolen car, and my dad said wait a moment, let us come down. So he and I went down to her work, which was a Motorola office complex, heavily forested in front, a long drive up to the building. We looked around and found the car almost a mile away! She did not have it firmly in park, and it slowly went all the way down the drive, crossed a very busy street (backwards, what a sight that must have been), veered off, went backwards down a very long bush and grass hillside, and then continued into a pile of trees. That's it I thought, that thing is totaled. It must have rolled at least a few times. It was so far down we could not assess the damage. So we called a towing service and this guy shows up with a really big truck, with a massive cable and winch off the back. He had to block off a good part of the street to angle it in. He goes down there the long way, as it was so steep, and hooks up the cable. He manages to pull this thing all the way back up this massive hillside. Damage? One small dent in the rear fender. It never rolled over. No scratches. My dad started it up, paid the guy, and like your mom, drove it home! The mechanic went through it, no other damage, he adjusted the parking break. My sister soon afterwards got her 1979 Z/28, but that Buick remained our extra car until 1983 and was still going strong when we sold it!

It was similar in that it had a dashboard & steering wheel, and landscape discs that turned. But there were no cars to control, and you didn't look at the disc under the "hood". From what I recall, the steering wheel moved a lens from side to side over the disc, and the image was projected onto the "windshield". Any ideas?

I’m trying to find one similar I played with when I was young. I believe it had a small blue wheel, like 3 inch maybe, and there was a 3D landscape, and the car was smaller. I think the steering wheel was on one side. I have such a strong memory of it, but my parents have absolutely no recollection of it. So I’m thinking it could’ve been at a babysitters house, I might’ve been only 3 yo. Anything similar to this, but maybe released in the 80’s that could resemble my description?

Wonder if any one remembers a Matchbox type driving toy set that included a plastic mining layout. It was not Matchbox as I recall nor Hot Wheels but has a truck (cabover) 18 wheeler cab with a gravel dump trailer. The vehicle was drivable around the mining area and could dump cargo (beads as I recall) that would flow down hill to a hopper that the truck could be positioned under to load it. The drive portion of the toy was a crank that could be turned left or right. The crank operated a gear which would move a beaded belt which connected into a pin catch under the truck. Much like a cable car would except a cable car can let go, once the pin was set into the catch on the bottom of the truck, it moved in the direction dictated by the crank direction. You could get the truck set to a side path/road and then back the truck into the lane to load/dump then drive around the track. I can't figure out what it was call nor the manufacturer. Which I had one today but bugs the crud out of me why I can't remember its name. I was around the late 60's or early 70's when I had it near the time of the Mattel steer-n-go set. If anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks

Very well put. This is why I like slot cars and RC planes versus electronic versions. Don't get me wrong, playing a flight simulator is fun for a little while, but NOTHING compared to building your own plane and flying it...the risk, the breeze out of nowhere, the skill building.

Very true you can learn a lot when you stepped on a rake and the handle comes up and hit you in the forehead Somehow you don’t get the same affect with video

My brother got the Matchbox Steer and go one year for Christmas. We played with it and had fun. Kids today would look at it and laugh.

The second game is awesome! Did you try it with a 1/128 car? Just modify it so it works with the track. I bet a smaller car would be more fun.

I had the Matchbox steer-n-go when I was a kid. Miss that but one thing I really miss is that I had a Hot Wheels style toy truck driving set that was a rock quarry that had a cable car style bead track that had a hand crank. You could turn the crank which moved the beaded track that had a pin on one of the beads. That engaged a truck that had a plastic clip under it and it moved/drove the truck around the track so you could load gravel (plastic beads) and then drive it up or down the hills to dump the load. I can not recall what it was called but would love to know if anyone still has one. I thought I still had mine but its nowhere to be seen. Anybody know what it was called?
