Executive summary: Yuk! Save your money for something else.

Take a look:

What can I say? It's a collection of very random parts in very assorted
colours. I can hardly believe that I bought such a lurid thing!

Actually, I bought this set for a number of reasons:

1. I truly believed (at the time) that the 6 yellow banana peels were a
must-have.
2. The price was reduced because it had a squashed box.
3. I was having a buying frenzy and it was just one small piece of a larger
insanity.

OK, so I bought it, I built it, and then I wondered why I'd bothered. Why
did I want those banana peels so badly? Reminders welcome!

Kerry, now older, wiser, and poorer for the experience

You could have bought the 7171 (which included the 7131)
Still on clearance at K-mart for $89,
the other two racers are bigger and better.

The 'banana peels' do look useful, I'm still not sure for what yet.
