Attention All Aussies on TC

Recommended Posts

Capt Splatt, Dean, 41 (and a bit) , ACT

In the effort of trying to restore my original FAV, I appear to have accidentally have acquired around 50 cars. Vintage Tamiya buggies is the main focus. I would have more cars if I didn't spend so much time fixing the cars I break.

Yup, I'm all good, Kelly and I are in the North Island far from Christchurch but boy will this earthquake impact on the rest of NZ. It's looking pretty dire down there with 300 people missing and death toll up to about 75 B) Australasia is having a shocking start to 2011. Come in Del, we hope your friends and family are you safe and that your home is out of harms way. Christchurch has many beautiful old historic buildings, I've never been there but I'm sure when I eventually do it will have lost it's landmarks and a whole bunch of it's innocent citizens :)

Thanks Willy, appreciate the thoughts :) I emailed Del last week and still haven't heard from him, James have you?

Poor Aussie flooding, then the kiwi's get the quakes, not looking good for the bottom half of the equator :D

I'll ask Renco512 as he is good friends with him.

Fortunately like Bluefoot we are in Auckland which is in the North Island which is probably about 1000+ kilometers away. The impact on New Zealand is huge and a very sad event so far. Fortunately I dont know nayone who is dead or missing and I lived in Dunedin for 30 years which is about 350 kilometers South of Christchurch and I frequented Christchurch often and still have a lot of people I know there.

Mike(Renco5012) confirms Del is OK (he had just spoken to him on the phone) which is good news and Mike has family in Christchurch who are all good also. Del is in a place which was hit hard - no power or running water - a lot of people have gone away out of town until services are restored. He is still running his cars somehow...lol.

Thanks Kelvin :unsure: I got an email too from Del last night confirming the same, reckons the dirt and silt on the road makes for some great running haha. Glad to hear he's ok though. Cheers.

I don't believe that you're in the ACT, Darryn!? Me too!

Small world eh?

Have I told you that that you are a hardass, after your PM to me the other night? I'm sure I will become a better vintage racer because of it! B)

I'll second what Darryn has said - and I haven't raced a buggy since I borrowed a mates Boomerang and got third on the day at Newborough in 1988 - you all need to come to the Castle Hill Vintage Festival on the June long weekend!

Woohoo :lol:

I think rc cars are like pinball machines. You can have one & that`s ok, but as soon as you add a 2nd & 3rd to the collection they just start to multiply!!

Help me
