[Hedron70]

aww shoot!

What is wrong with me? I just brought a NIB Boomerang! on Ebay!! I promiseed my self I wouldnt buy anymore cars!someone help me![]

[netsmithUK]

Its too late. Your fate is sealed.

[minijosh]

Ok I'll be the one who helps out this poor soul. Just box up all your rc's and post them to me so I can wing you off of them slowly. Send me all you money in paypal and bidpay so you won't be tempted to buy stuff. Oh send me your credit cards only if there is no limit or you have credit on them. You can keep the ones that are maxxed if there are any. We can start this process at anytime you want. Remember, I'm here for you.[]

You're screwed, lol. I thought I had too many cars when I reached 30 so sold a couple. Now have even more to replace the few I sold!

[Lordcroker]

I thought that I had problems....and I've 'only' got 4 cars!

Even so I have figured that this is way too many and have decided to have a cull....2 must go!...after all how many do I need?

I'm keeping one on road car, The M-03 Mini and one off road, the newly acquired RC10.

So that means that the King Cab and Lancia Rally have to go (I need the money!)

I'm not too sad about the King cab, even though it is now at last running well! but I'll miss the Lancia because I had one of those as my first ever Tamiya []

[usapirap(2)]

A couple of years ago I said to myself not to keep more than 20 cars. A couple of years later, I have over 200 cars and kits, not counting the hundreds of chassis and body parts I have. I thought about keeping them for my kids. But the problem is I don't have a kid yet. [:I]

[jacolouw]

Hmmmm

Once you ask the QUESTION - youre already lost [][:I]

Jakes

[Hedron70]

LOL!! good to see so many "Addicts" coming clean...200 hundred cars!!!! What does the wife think? Or has she left already?[]

[addict again]

You know you are an addict when the term is in your username I tell myself also that i have enough and i do not need anymore. But low and behold along comes a sweet deal on ebay and you just cant resist the ol place a bid button (or the nasty bin button)!! I too thought that i would slow down once i got a bruiser but of course the only person i was fooling was myself lol. So i figured what the h&$# go with it. Afer all an "addict" is someone in denial of his sickness but what if you wont deny it...hmm. So to end this i say buy up as many as you can, and when you run out of dough go out and drive, you will soon forget all of your worries!! Take care all and keep the batt`s warm!!!

Was already into RC with some cars (kyosho), a pure ten alpha and a sandmaster. A Chopper,nexus 30s .. Ow, and dont forget the robbe 2000 ultralight

Later on a FH12, becouse i drove one in 1:1

The "i blame you all for it part" => []

It all started with a close to death pajero 58044 ...

bought for fun at a LHS.. To toy around with.

Then i found tamiyaclub. Thats when the trouble started!

Now i am lost forever in the forest of collecting, ebay, credit card meltdown.

The counter now telling, 87 rc cars/boats/heli's/plane's

P.S

Or you could take the radio out and send the cars to me - a very deserving case!!! []

[mr_pushrod]

Nope, you're in Detox. We're doing you a favour not sending any[]

[The Slayer]

Ah i must add this is 'involuntary financial detox' i am down to only shaking/dribbling/quvering 3 times a day now...... i need a fix!!!! so send me them, go on pleeze, i am begging you - just a little fix [][]i can andle it []

[smallman28]

Must be something to do with having money and realising you can now get the things you wanted when you were younger but couldn't afford.

I am onto my 6th car now with my newley aquirred WW1 which I always wanted.

I have to say for my sins as well I am not a fan of NIBs',I know they may be worth more but personally I dont see the harm in building it and just having it as a static disply,I built the Jugg1 I got the other month[]

[The Slayer]

No money [] thats why i'm in detox [8)] i like the building.... gives me something to do... but wouldnt pay $1600 for a Rough Rider, only a restore job on the older kits.... i wanna 959 Again [][]

[Vroem-Vroem]

[SonicCJ5]

OK I used to run my cars when I was around 12-16 and race them. Now I still have them but they are in need of alot of TCL. I am now 30 and check out the web to find parts cars to fix my cars. What once were drive em break em fix em has become a I hope I dont break my upright ok better not take it off the shelf. [V]
