Even though I’ve never wanted to drive myself, I’ve always wanted a Scalextric set. Well it may be 30 years later than originally planned but, finally, I’ve got my wish. I’m now the proud co-owner of a Scalextric Touring Car Battle set. Please note the careful use of the word ‘co-owner’ in the previous sentence. Dylan …

Their sketch pads, meanwhile, are full of drawings of the characters and their vehicles. There’s no substitute for something LEGO related than the toys themselves though. With that in …

Just like most kids when they get home from school, Dylan and Xander always make a beeline for the sofa. Well, once they’ve acquired drinks and biscuits and raced each other to the remote control first. The latest animated series they’ve been enjoying is Zak Storm which can be found on POP. Season One is …
