That van is awesome, I remember seeing one of those a few years ago but I can't remember where?

Re: new aquisition :)
yeah, the old ones have a great style.
kyosho did a re-release/update a few years back, but lost all the charm of the originals....I bought 2 of the updated ones, to run with my daughter.

feels very cheap and nasty, basic rubber tires with solid cup rims etc.
