From internet ad agency, Syzygy.

Your challenge?  Name each of the 20 events (and we mean events – just recognising […]

From our earlier post, there are CARS MicroDrifters (or are they Micro Drifters?) coming … I have not seen one but I believe they are about 1″ in length with a metal ball bearing underneath as its mode of movement … No idea on pricing or when they will show up but probably for Spring? […]
