What, is this a racecar for ants?
This is the beta test version. Once all the bugs are identified and patched, a much better version will replace it.
Another race car in Blacktron I colors for the RSotD.

Oh wow, this is one that I actually would've liked to buy, and I'm sad that I didn't.
I think this would beat someone running behind a baby buggy.
So...this would be 'Speed's illegitimate cousin?:)
You sure its not a "baggy" racer! Oh ho ho ho
Buggy racer? Where is the horse?

Never mind the horse, where’s the -driver-? XD
A Tiny Turbo without stickers? I'm impressed.
One of the rarest 30xxx series polybags that took me ages to acquire.

When I saw it I was immediately reminded of an article of ages ago about polybag collecting. I recall that it was either one of the few you were missing or one you went into detail about the pain of acquiring.
Funny to see my (hazy) memory immediately validated by you this early XD
In other words, the polybag collection value is the most interesting part of this set, moreso than the actual model or even it's color scheme!
The fact that it came out in the waning years of Racers as a 'polybag' back when those were even more sporadic in their availabilty probably didn't help.
I wonder why this didn't use the pullback base also used in the Shell-polybags? It looks fine for such a small set, but there's just not much to it.

I was online last night (local time) when this came online and I could not come up with a remotely funny way to say this. Bravo!
