SJoerD 2 Posted March 29, 2004 The Super Champ driver is Al Ernat, and he is actually quite famous too.

El Mexican 1 Posted March 30, 2004 Apparently "Barf n' Barry" is quite famous: he drives my Dyna Storm too! (the re-release version, not the original one) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeoGeo 0 Posted April 1, 2004 A kind of cool rewrite of the old frog slogan "No Guts No Glory!" would might be "Go Nuts No Worry!" I guess that would apply to some of the vintage car drivers at Snetterton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shodog 1835 Posted April 7, 2004 Thanks sjoerd for pointing out my Super Champ. has anybody made a comprehensive list of all the vehicles driver names? obviously most are made up but some are real. It would be interesting to see the history behind some of them. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SJoerD 2 Posted April 8, 2004 Your welcome Jim. I'm sure if I wouldn't have shown it, you'd be very eager to post that link yourself anyway. [] Now could anyone think of a nice slogan for a Tamiya car? Just imagine that if it's nice enough, that Tamiya would put it on the Neo Shot and release it (at last). Now show me your creativity.

Olly_Lunchbox 28 Posted March 3, 2010 Thread from the dead time! I've brought this back because I've just been chatting to an old school mate that I haven't seen for about 15 years. Found him through Facebook we got to talking about Tamiyas. I got my Madcap from doing a trade with him and he reminded me that on the bus on the way to school we used to look at the Tamiya book and decide which cars we were going to get next (yeah, on our pocket money!) He also reminded me of something brilliant that I'd forgotten - we used to come up with our own wing slogans! As soon as he mentioned it the memories came flooding back. Bewtween us we could only remember three but I do remember making a whole list of them on the bus. Here's our Pulitzer award winning slogans ... Eat Dust Buggy Boy and (my personal favourite) New Nitro! Ha ha, when you look at some of Tamiyas efforts ours weren't actually that bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
