Well, all I can say is don't bother calling her out on it. She'll just deny it... :roll:

Probably one of my favourites is the Kyosho Gallop or even the Javelin.
What has been strange is how my tastes have changed, when it came out I hated the Big Wig but now I like it!
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

Nice selections everyone! Like the vintage look and stance of the Mescalero.

I will vote for my two bodies Tamiya Egress and Avante 2001. Happy 2021 to all of you from Japan.

For me the best looking has got to be the original Avante, a way off my favourite car but got to be the best looking, so blingey out of the box.

I got a short arm car that needs a body. I'm seriously thinking that a Protech would be the best suited for it.

I considered a Detonator Classic since I chose the JConcepts Hazzard wheels, but its kinda ugly. On the other hand, the Detonator Worlds body looks great. I already have one and just bought another for a different project.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.
