  1. I've got a subscription because I'm into their style of cars, and that feature on the full-size SS was just stunning. Jonny Smith (the guy who wrote the article) really knows his cars, real and RC.

    It has been mentioned here that Jonny Smith was worn a Tamiya inspired T-shirt on Fifth Gear (a TV show he presents bits on, for those who don't know).

  2. I wanna apologise to you guys for not going again: I was stupid enough to think I could stay up all night up watch the Bathurst 1000 and wake up early enough to get there.

    I checked my cars earlier: only 1 works and a kingpin fell out. Good thing that didn't happen at the bash: I'd never have found it

  3. Vauxhall have specially made some Vectra's for the VXR stand at BTCC events. The bodyshells are thicker than a normal Tamiya shell to withstand crashes better. They are, however, very pricey. A bodyshell will cost you 69.95 and the RTR version (XB Pro TT-01) will set you back another 100!! Here's a pic I took of the car:

    I was SOOO tempted to buy one of the shells on sunday at Thruxton, but I couldn't justify paying 70 for it.

  4. My Taisan is a real money pit.

    I had to buy new parts trees to replace missing and damaged gearbox parts (they ended up costing more than the car).

    It needs original wheels, tyres, the shell painted and decaled, and a new steering servo.

  5. Today I was woken up by the postie, with my Metro 6R4 shell.

    I then had to rush out to call my mum, as we had no electricity.

    My mother and I went to get some electricity.

    I fell asleep.

    Once I woke up, I went for a walk around the shops, until I ended up in the library & posting here.
