Fantastic find Sal. 
I had a steer and go, loved playing with that.
Looking through the site i had forgoten how great some of my toys were. I had Evil Knievel, Super Flight Deck, Cascade, Race n chase, six million dollar man with telephoto eye and arm with skin that pulled back to show bionics. PMSL. They dont make em like they used to.

I had a cascade: http://www.stuffwelove.co.uk/cascade.htm
Was really difficult to set up and get all the angles just so, but once it was right, hours (ahem!) of fun were guaranteed!

haha, thats a funny site. Brings back some memories
Weirdest thing is looking at the Grifter picture, I remember my mates brother getting one and I rode it. It seemed massive and it's allways stuck in my mind as being huge, saw the pics and it looks tiny made me smile.

Mine was called "Turbo Tower of Power" and it came with a cardboard ramp.
The problem was that after a while, the wheel became clogged up with hair and it proved nigh on impossible to wind it up to any good speed.
Did anyone have "Stock Car Smashups" ? That ruled.. basically you had a red yankee pickup, and a blue vw beetle, and when you smashed them together, the bonnet, doors + wheels flew off.
