And I loved the cool look and engineering of the one with the hydraulic piercing "beak". What was that called, now?

Latest..........
24th Sept 2004 The Tee-shirt and fleece order form has been romoved from the site.
If you wish to order tee-shirts or fleeces please e-mail for details and availability.
Use the "hypno at hypno-disc dot co dot uk" address.
29th Nov 2003 Many fans have recently asked 'Where is Hypno-Disc this year?'
There are a number of reasons why we didn't make it to Series 7 this time.
Unfortunately it has been an exceptionally busy 2003 at our works which took up much of the spare time we would have normally had.
Derek is now a proud Dad. Nataile, who is now 6 months old, has kept Derek's hands full lately !!
I can't say what we'll do for Series 8 but we've been enjoying watching Series 7 from the comfort of our arm chairs :-)

I didn't like the Razer and Hypno-disc rip-offs. They didn't have the style of the originals. I have to say, as a piece of beautiful art/engineering, Razer was absolutely superb. Unequalled.

'Flippers' should be outlawed though.Only the very boring whimps used flippers.

anyone remember Cassius? That was the best "flipper" I ever saw.
I remember road block winning the series or something. It was just a road sign on wheels!
