Collector? Mmmm... No! Enthusiast? Yes, definitely! Nutter? Absolutely!! Well, since I got a chance to drive my friends Hotshot when I was 16 or 17 (it's now another 16 or 17 years later), I never forgot what that was like. After moving to the US (born and raised in South Africa, lived in the UK for 7 years and now in the US), I discovered eBay and this site (always blame someone or something else), and the rest is history. So far, my 'collection' consists of a Hotshot, Supershot, 959, NIB Clodbuster (yeah, babe!), two Monster Beetles, two Sand Scorchers (I'm Bug crazy, or a crazy bug... whatever!) and some other stuff. All projects at the moment, but you know how that goes. Never owned a Tamiya until about 2 years ago, when I started with this obsession, I mean hobby, and who knows where it will end...
