It's pretty funny really, my 14 year old daughter told me "no dad you can only have one" so The BT50, Road wizards and all the bodies are on hold until the 25th. The one was a F103 Lotus. She's out of school now and I have to wonder about the stuff still in transit getting hijacked.

I opened a christmas card from my girlfriend's dad at the weekend and out fell £20 worth of vouchers for LHS. I'm expecting my parents and sister will also have got me vouchers. I know none of them can afford to buy me a complete NIB kit for Christmas, but I'm hoping the combined vouchers should go a long way towards buying myself something new next year. I hope they all buy them from the same model shop! :)

I got lucky and the new 959 body got through. Calicool, There's a Lotus 102 on ebay, seller is in Long Beach. It looks mis advertised to me so it will probably go cheap. I'm not positive but 1/14 scale wasn't big in the formula cars.

He brought me a red and green car, early even. It still needs detail work but I couldn't resist the holiday colors.

Holiday Buggy 2010. Better late than never :lol:

I think it's great how popular these are now. Especially as it copped so much criticism when it came out.

The HB2010 has sort of become the modern day Grasshopper. So cheap and so much fun for us and the kids. I am really excited to finally get one.

Merry Xmas and best wishes for the New Year to all of you TC members :rolleyes: Also a special thanks to all of the members that have helped me out this year. Cheers.

Well the t guy in the red suit dropped by overnight, brought me the James ultrasonic cleaner that was on my wish list so happy bunny. Last thing I needed was another rc build, but the cleaner is a good tool to assist with the rebuilds I already have.

And then the big box, ah that'll be the VW T1 Camper van - all 1322 lego pieces of it. Delighted !!
