Made the drive from Pukekohe to Taranaki (about 4.5hrs) to go to WOMAD. World Of Music And Dance. 3 days of international cultural performances. Full of fringe dwellers and weirdo's, my kind of place. It's probably the most chilled event I've ever been to, very family and so relaxed Recommend it if ...

They could have put rubberbands on it and called it the AE Cat deflection suspension LOL!!!

Once in a lifetime photo?

About 50 miles due west a large uncontained wildfire with the sunset backlighting the smoke.

Fierce battle between the Chained Frog and the Zealous Zerda!

Fierce battle between the Chained Frog and the Zealous Zerda! Eventually had to vote Zerda , I simply know how much time and effort it takes to make a zero original parts replica in this way and I love the Zerda as a car too . It's how I voted as well. That's a lot of work and it looks great.

Car got a brushless update (11,5T), beltdrive takes it well, not the tires..

This seems like it should be in Canada, maybe being chased by a statue of a cobra chicken. But still, I know fine art when I see it.

Rear A arms, drive shafts and a bunch of turnbuckles tonight! Rear A Arms in. https://i.imgur.com/xmMk2ia.jpg I built the shafts per the instructions: 3 shims and the blue spacer on the outside (flat side out). We'll see once shocks and tires are on if the whole 'about to fall out' syndrome is happe...

Grabbed an hour or so after work in the hobby room to do a bit more. I’m doing my best to avoid the standard kit screw pins in this build so its good to have these on hand https://tcphotos.net/images/2025/03/20/IMG_8496.jpeg And fitted, they look great IMO https://tcphotos.net/images/2025/03/20/IMG_...

Today was a great mail day. I received an ebay purchase I have been looking forward to. The car is an early A stamp in extremely good condition with a Futaba rx/tx. The NIB Stealth transmission is still in the plastic wrap. I'm not sure on year? This was my 55th birthday present to myself 😎 20250321...

I got to see the chain drive Frog in action for the first time today. I dig it. Quieter than anyone would think. I got a few more cars I'll post later.

Finally! The holy grail of vintage Schumacher 2wd collectors. A carbon fibre chassis pan thats drilled for all variations of Topcat/Cougar/Cougar 2/Cougar 2 works.

Its a happy day!
