You're assuming he doesn't already do all those things..... every day.....

I'm guessing no coincidence at all.... three guys and a radio.... I give you Team Thumbs.

Another part of my 2022 Vintage Bash PB Mini Mustang build has arrived; this time, it's a nice 17.5 motor. Should create suitable damage during my 5 minute races that I have rebuilding to do for the intervening rounds

Interesting Thursday night happenings around our quiet neighbourhood....

FF04.jpg I'm almost complete with my rebuild of the chassis, including adding bearings and my last bag of NIP FF01 arms... and then I will drop a new VW Golf body on the chassis, with some n...

Awesome!

Did you pick him for the matching hairstyle?

Nothing like having puppies about the place.... all the joy of stepping on Lego pieces in the dark, but with none of the sharpness in your foot...

Got this brand spanking new Novak Havoc Pro brushless system in the mail today. 17.5 motor version, still shrink-wrapped, with the original price and all. I paid a little bit less than sticker price ;) 20220725_162205.jpg Would have had it last Friday, if it wasn't for a mistake by the seller, compo...

I have a New Beetle too that I purchased back in 2000. I recently made a few upgrades including adding the Castrol Civic body which I think looks great. That's come out sweet mate, well done! I also added the period shock upgrade to replace the old plastic CVAs. I used to look down on the old black...
