I'm 27 years old, and live in London. When i was 6, my Father owned a Supershot. I always loved to chase real cars up and down the culdesac that i lived in with the Supershot, it was an incredibly fast car, even by todays standards. I remember my neighbour, who must of been 12 at the time, owning a Vanessas Luncbox which i always thought looked superb. This spurred me on through my later years to continue the hobby, and i progresed from a Subaru Brat that i bought from a pal, to a Boomerang, Alfa 155 Touring, King Cab then onto Schumachers and eventually, and most recently, onto Nitro models like the Losi LST2. Due to pretty heavy work commitments, lack of time, and a growing family i decided to come out of the hobby altogether, and sold everything (including my freshly restored Supershot which i still have in my showroom - aches to see it all the time!). Then, a year later, i got the itch again - but not so much to play with them, but to collect & restore the Tamiya models that were always my favourites - most of which i never owned. My wish list looks like this:
Bruiser / Mountaineer, Vanessas Lunchbox (own re-re), Sand Scorcher, Monster Beetle, Ford F350 Hi-lift (own NIB), Supershot , Top Force Evo, Egress, Avante.
