All about me.

I got into R/C car racing almost 20 years ago after my parents brought me a Hornet (Beatties Deal) as a Christmas present. I soon realised that the Tamiya, although was fun, was not competitive & 'upgraded' to a Mardave - which, with independent suspension handled much better. I've been racing R/C cars pretty much ever since - indeed in my time, have been a sponsored driver & competed at national level in both on-road (touring car) & 2wd Off road. My racing is now much more casual - racing mostly at my local club (Kettering MCC) on Friday nights.
I guess I have now become more nostalgic about the older cars (all makes) Especially those I used to race or raced against. I have recently restored an original Clodbuster that I found down the local council tip but I also still have some of my old race cars including a Mardave Cobra that I modified by fitting a Losi XX gearbox I also own; Mardave Marauder, Associated RC12LG, Losi XXX, Schumacher Axis TC, RClab 7.6 TC, RClab GT3 TC & my current racer Corally PHi Touring Car. Recent additions to my collection (mostly of old 2wd buggies) include 2X Associated RC10s, a Losi Jrx2 & a Jrx Pro, a NIB Losi XX (that I want to build into the spec of my old race car) a Losi XXT Graphite & a Schumacher Cougar 2 Works..... this hobby is getting expensive!
I am also into all sorts of full size cars - in-particular old VWs, my username comes from the fact that I own a 1979 VW Derby (my pride & joy) I'm not from Derby ;-)
