That old familiar feeling
I picked this kit up at the Dortmund faire. Never really liked the idea of the gearboxes, but I kept hearing about how much fun these are, so I just had to have one, for beach running.
So I bought it at a very reasonable price. Instantly fitted a decent speedo, took apart the pre-assembled gearboxes to fit ball bearings, ordered oil filled shocks from Stella and gave it a quick testrun. This thing is pretty fast, but does miss an extra 'punch' - so I will be fitting other motors (sporttuned?). I sprayed the body with left-over colours, and used decals from different cars, the Ferrari 360 Daytona for one.
That's when it happened: I got a particular feeling when I put the body onto the car. A feeling I hadn't had since I bought my first car (Thundershot) and my second one (bushdevil). I felt like a little boy again! You know the feefling you got when you got that toy you had been dreaming off for such a long time. I'm gonna have so much fun with this car...
Hope you like the pics!
I forgot I entered this car in the 'best alternate paint scheme' contest, but apparently I took 87th place. Not the best, but at least I'm in the top... umm... 87 ;) Winner is very just I must say, got my vote, too. Great car!
