1. The single Aurora example I have (the Mustang) is the smoothest runner of any of my little fleet of vintage cars; yet, I seem to recall reading somewhere (perhaps here) that the "Challenger" motors are/were not highly regarded. In fact, on page 49 of Philipe de Lespiny's wonderful book, he mentions a "lack of performance..." Were they not fast enough to be competitive? Mine is certainly a nice runner. 
2. There has been some fairly recent posts showing Eldon cars, and those have been generally met with some enthusiasm. I remember seeing some examples and they struck me as being rather (forgive me)...cheap-looking; what with their white plastic frames and unrealistic wheels. If you compare their Indy roadster with the Strombecker model, there is no comparison...what am I missing here?
Am hoping this will trigger some lively discussions...
