Today............... My third ***** renault 5 turbo shell to go with tamiyomans excellent repro decals....!

I had issues with the first two shells I received and ***** replaced each time from canada to the UK without any questions and at no extra cost to myself. Honestly I think it has been the best customer care I have ever had in this hobby.....

Top service from a great seller, really helpful and isn't it just great to have decent companies doing this vintage repro stuff!?? Makes me a happy chappy anyhow........

My new 2.4Ghz controller and receiver, Holiday Buggy with Sport Tuned Motor, pinion and and Ballrace set!

Whooohoooo!

I often wonder if it is bad that my post man and the people at the main post office know me by name when I live in a large city! lol

Then again the people in the local Chinese Take-Away know my name and my usual order!

Well I've been away from home for 5 months and we've just gotten back from a quick trip over there to visit friends and family. Awaiting there were all the cars I've been buying up whilst abroad... It was like all my christmas's had come at once! I wish I'd taken a photo of all the boxes stacked up at a relatives house, it was truly mental and highlighting my obsession!

Waiting for me was:

1 x Falcon project

1 x Kyosho Cosmo project

2 x grasshopper 2 projects

1 x Vanquish project

1 x Topforce NIB

3 x NIB Sand Scorcher rere

1 x TA RC10L project

1 x Thunder dragon project

1 x Thundershot project

1 x boomerang project

1 x Super Sabre project

1 x new Boomerang shell

1 x new hornet shell

1 x pair of new hotshot resistors

3 x vintage remotes

1 x Brat bodyset

And the worst part of it is I only had 1 day to unwrap them, have a little tinker and then box them up again :)

What has the Postman brought you?

A pair of rear star dish wheels arrived today. Those are for my Dyna Storm as the wheels it came with (Keen Hawk) are now on my Mad Fighter as part of that project.

And no sooner did I mention on the forum that i needed another Hi-cap damper O-ring set, one appears on Ebay. A bit of a bidding war, but a sneaky bid at the end (yes, I'm that person) ensured I won the item. So, happy about that :D
