Hello peeps. I'm new here, I had a nice email from some of the MK bashers inviting me to join in their fun when I move from Northampton to Newport Pagnell in a few months time. So i thought i'd better introduce myself and my little collection.
Egress - Bought new in 1990 ish
Blitzer Beetle - Won this on e-bay
Vanessas Lunch Box - Bought new in 1992 ish
Clod Buster - Won on e-bay.


And my little FWD M-03 collection


M-03 Mini Cooper (sport tuned, CVA's, ball raced, 101BK, Eagle racing bumper, neg rear arms)
M-03M Suzuki Swift (CVA's, ball raced, Ripmax ESC, stabilizers, motor heatsink, neg rear arms)
M-03L Toyota bB (shelfer at the moment)
M-03L BMW Cooper (Ball raced, CVA's, neg rear arms, quick relase battery holder).
All are runners and get used aside from the Toyota bB as thats a fairly rare find these days. I race the M-03 Cooper and Swift at a club in Leighton Buzzard, great racing.
Look forward to bashing soon.

Thanks for the nice comments.
I have a black and yellow Beatties bag indeed, I did have one of the earlier Blue ones around somewhere aswell from when i bought my first Tamiya, a Terra Scorcher in 1990 iirc.

Dude.. great collection!!
Although I'm the resident Kyosho nut.. I love a bit of Tamiya too (My sister in law is from Shizuoka).
Look forward to hearing from you more and maybe meeting you.
Cheers,
Tom :)

It is a classic. Mine isnt mint but in fairly good condition. I have had it since new and found it last year in my parents garage when i was clearing up for them. It got me back into RC cars again.
Its running standard other than a 15x2 Orion SV2 motor, fair shifts along for a vintage.

techie - February 26, 2007 09:59 PM (GMT)
