Hi guys,
A happy new year to you all,
This is my first entry in 2012 and with a buggy that i had to have!
One of my fab 4!! Just the Wild One to get now to complete my fab 4!;)
This F.A.V is my first re-re! all my other cars are originals but thats fine as this is such a very cool buggy and it will be a runner so the better drive shaft system will help for that!!
A big thanks to hot rod for this F.A.V ;)
I got it new from him and it was built! I just had to find some wheels/tyres and paint the driver and lights, put the decals on and put the radio gear in! and i put a spare on the back too ;)
Like i said this will be a runner but it will be well looked after!
Some beach blasting for sure.....but not in the sea for this one!! Not like you did with yours hot rod LOL!!;)
Hope you chaps all like it and enjoy the pics?
Must say a very big thanks to my wife for getting this for me for Xmas xxxx:)
All the best from MAD-BEE:)

I believe your wife loves you so much!! That's a PROPER present for Xmas!! And I like this version with 'Grasshopper' wheels!..and obviously the spare too..! I remember when you were told off for not using the same shape of spare wheel..and you learnt the lesson! he he he Lovely buggly and top photos. Happy new year James

Great combo with the black wheels - the FAV is proving to be very adaptable to different colour schemes and everyone looks great IMO
eriknyg
Your wife is something special. Clever changes you made!

Welcome to the FAV club LOL . Great kit , But i am going to put the shock kit in .
Nice job & the classic MAD BEE shots .
Hope you had a very good x-mas & new year .
Old_School_Sang
WOW!! It's amazing how everyone's FAV look unique and this one is probably one of the best looking and very original with a nice clean paint job. Now I'm tempting to buy a re re FAV and paint it like yours! Great job!!
hot rod
well mate im sure you delayed putting this on the club so you could get a nice day for the pictures lol... looks ace mate and would probably never turned a wheel in my ownership as my vintage fav runner gets that pleasure (and sea dunking) thanks for the memory ha ha. Done it proud mate and surprised none of the eagle eyed members have spotted the absence of a gaping battery lead hole ? yes mad bee's has original side plates and looks ace . Avoid the sea buddy (they like it!!) and great mention cheers buddy - regards hot rod
MAD-BEE
Cheers (matman) i am over the moon with this buggy!!
We had a great Xmas thanks buddy!
Thanks (Old School Sang) mate its a fun car to paint
Go on! go and buy one!!
That was the case (hot rod) we have had a lot of gray & rain
But the sun did come out just long enough to get these pics!!
Thanks again for thinking of me! I am loving this buggy and now see that the FAV is a must have Tamiya in our collections!!
Yes much better with the original side plate thing they look less real with the battery leads showing!! I will keep it away from the sea too!
Its got to be the Wild One next! Original will be nice....but a re-re is fine too!!
Cheers buddy
stickerbod
It's a thing of Beauty Mr BEE! Glad you got your hands on one!
JWeston
nice one
mongoose1983
Both, location and FAV are sure looking GOOD!
djp780
Love the mods, looks great. Makes me want to buy one.
MAD-BEE
Cheers (stickerbod) im in love....but don't tell the wife!!
Thanks JW buddy
Much appreciated (mongoose1983)
Cheers mate.
Thank you (dip780) go on bud treat your self!
GingerSpice
Clean and very tidy Mr.B, looks ready for action and looks at home there on the beach, great job there Buddy
Wandy
Stunner! This is the great thing about the re-re FAV with it's black rollcage & slightly darker shade of brown plastic, it means they look good to go even without any decals whereas the original looked naked without the extra detailing treatment. Love the wheels & tyres on this too, top notch work.
Madcap
Nice and cool lookin FAV!! Are you using the silvercan for the FAV or are you using a stronger motor? Have fun with the FAV!!!!!!!
viperchief
Great lookin' FAV! I gotta get me one!
MAD-BEE
Cheers (GingerSpice)buddy i can't wait to go beach blasting!!
The black rollcage is a good move by Tamiya!
I have been a bit of a stick in the mud about re-re cars but i am warming to the idea (Wandy)...but l hope Tamiya do not re-re everything though!!Leave some rare and special!!
Thanks bud.
Cheers (Madcap) mate and thanks, I will have a go with the Silvercan first but then change the motor to a 23 turn! Not too powerful but just enough!
I want to see this baby when in action!
Thanks (viperchief) and go on get one!!
Road Burner
Awesome FAV! The black wheels look sweet!
RACECRAFTERS
Your FAV looks awesome MAD-BEE! The black Scorcher wheels, detailed driver and small parts add a realistic contrast. Happy New Year Mate and we can see there's a good'un gaurding the UK beaches against any invading crabs.
MAD-BEE
Thanks (Road Burner) i think the black works well bud!
The same to you ( RACECRAFTERS) bud and thanks mate the beaches had no invading crabs on my watch!!
def4x4

Thanks for the comments on my build, I looked in here and saw the F.A.V, this one is rad, I love it. I like the idea of a F.A.V surf patrol Black and White police vehicle... 'to Surf and protect'.
Nice pics and a great location.
MAD-BEE
Cheers mhbmxr don't the F.A.Vs rule!!
AndyjcClod
