Don't make me come over there....

Problem solved, when you return home just take the stuff with you! Free delivery

Storm 2000 isn't for me.... my name ain't Bruce.... it *may* be my middle name....

I'd be more grateful than shocked...

How could you not like the body? It's a "New modern vintage body with driver figure"....

Modern vintage....

You're selling what now?

The wheels look like they will suit a rallycross car more than a buggy.... which would also fix the concerns of those who dislike the body. Win win for us rally guys!

Bring it on, I say!

Well, it's been a few months since our precious Louie left us, so time for a new four-legged bundle of bark. This is Rudy , a 2 1/2 year old Kelpie. 20240316_165039.jpg We adopted him from a home where he was pretty much locked outside all day, and locked in the laundry all night, with NOTHING in be...

Not quite in the mail..... but met up with this nice Jason bloke today, after he drove down from Sydney to Melbourne (1000+kms) to say hello... 01.jpg He dropped off some stuff that has been piling up... 02.jpg Including a massive box of Schumacher vintage parts, cleaned, categorised and organised. ...

Van might get a bit wet....

Maybe you should come down instead, for November's Vintage Bash.... no time like the present. If you have to, steal a loaf of bread

A good friend of mine picked this up in a cheap garage sale lot recently, amongst a bunch of other cars. He had no use for it, so he tidied it up and sent it to me! 20240507_164726.jpg Sure, it's only a Super Hornet, but it's in pretty nice shape, and the Futaba Attack-SR TX is in almost-new conditi...

New boots for my el-cheapo bash truck project...... these cost more than the truck originally cost me! 20240509_165504.jpg One more parts order to arrive, paint a replacement body, swap in a servo that can actually turn the wheels, and it'll be done. I'm banking on Christmas.... won't say which year...

In Wausau, WI for work. Nice sunset at least. Best Western Plus what? - Bedbugs? - Hot and cold running hookers? - Blackjack? - WiFi? - Electricity? - Heat? - Home-cooked meals? - Cheap parking? - Thievery? - Shenanigans? - One-way mirrors? - Mirrors on the ceiling? Come on mate, don't leave us han...

Big thanks to @Bormac for the delivery services, cleaning, sorting, bagging, rebuilding, and for being just a good bloke... and to Richard for the Tamiya stuff and some electricals. Now to get started on race-readying..... only 6 months to go to Vintage Bash 3.0! I suspected you were the "Alex...

Local pickup from Gumtree (of all places).... should satiate my Tamiya wrenching craving!!! 101.jpg 103.jpg 104.jpg Two TT01s, a TT01e, and an M03 (in M03L configuration). Plus a metric squibload of spares, including more than 10 of the same sprue..... apparently, the previous owners used to go to t...

Another good day with the postman, with this errata arriving :) First up, a big bag of bearings from my good mate Bullfrog . He sent these to me for my TT01 rebuilds - just another way I am in debt to this great bloke. 100 x 1150s, 50 x 850s, and 24 x 1280s..... should keep the machines running smoo...

Handy having machine tools.

Not sure if I'm more jealous of having the tools, or knowing how to use them...
