Even Crocodille Dundee wouldn't be able to say his trademark quote if confronted by that blade!

Tamiya Parts = Serious Business!

[Saito2]

Now that's sloppy reporting. The very first sentence refers to Tamiya vehicles as "TOY race cars". As we all know (or any good reporter) the first page of the RC guidebook informs us "toys, there not." They are radio controlled models .

I drove a 8h round trip , when i bought a Tamiya collection of 32 cars.

I bought parts and models in many Italian cities, in Paris, in Bordeaux, in Barcellona, In Geneve, in London, in Berlin.

I mean personally, with my phisical presence. Years before the net and the ebay.

I bought a car in Japan, but just because I was bound and determined to do so once I found out I was going. It's re-kindled my interest, and now I've ordered parts from the UK one direction and China the other. Back when I first started, that would have been unimaginable.
