Superluminal 3729 Posted January 31, 2021 How could you forget!! She was the best one!!!! Still looks absolutely amazing. Seen her a couple of times at those sci fi conventions where middle aged bearded blokes with beer bellies, real ale T-shirts and poor personal hygiene attend. Which means I fit in perfectly obviously. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the wife (and daughter's) would definitely have something to say way before I get a chance of getting anywhere near mk! I went there for a rc racing weekend in 2019 it was billed as a total rc racing weekend with stalls and manufacturers of all things rc cars and racing! And unfortunately after a rubbish journey in traffic with roadworks and accidents etc it was a bit of a waste of time the manufacturer's you couldn't get anywhere near because of the barriers which you weren't able to cross and one rc stall (can't remember the shop that it was) but very expensive!.......rather deflating experience😕 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
