Hey everyone.
My name is Erich and I live down in Santiago de Chile. I'm a college professor (of Historiography, Economic History, and Ethics) and my hobbies, apart of the vintage Tamiya R/C models, are acoustic & bass guitars, and vintage BMX bikes. I have a Kuwahara Survivor 2.5 from 1984 (And, by the way, if anybody wonders what is my nick about, it's because of the BMX bike I wanted to have when I raced back in the early 80's).
My 'love story' with Tamiyas started one day at a Mall in here, back in 1988. Back then I was a huge fan of Monster Truck racing, and I was out to buy some stuff for a school project. I was walking downstairs and got to see *that* box. It was the 1987 Midnight Pumpkin Ford F-100 pick-up truck. I fell in love with it instantly. I started selling some of my things, my TV set, my tent, and many small things so I could buy it. It took me more than a year to raise all the money. But I finally took it home with me. Months later, I would get a Futaba radio for it. I used to run that truck with my cousin, who had (still has) a 1986 Boomerang.
Nowadays I am only trying to restore the models I have, so I'm always after replacement parts. I enjoy the hobby, and I have a happy life.
And if anyone is reading this, well, I hope you have a very nice day!!!
