All about me.

I started my Tamiya affair with a Holiday Buggy back in 1980. Shortly afterwards I joined my local race club (Worlds End Off Road Club, Northampton) and found myself racing lots of Rough Riders, Sand Scorchers and Scorpions etc.
Back in the day, all of my cars were Tamiya, having a Subaru Brat when first released (which then became a modified Frog). Later I bought a Hotshot and then a Boomerrang when they were first released, continuing to race up to around 1987. My cars were modified for racing, but still a Tamiya!
Unfortunately at 17 I stopped racing and sold all of my stuff to concentrate on being a teenager (boy, do I regret selling all that now!).
However, at Xmas 2008 my wife bought me a new edition Hotshot, which brought all my passion for Tamiya and racing back again. Since then I've been buying and fixing up cars (most of which that I had, plus others too which back then I could never afford). Obviously this second time around the same collection has cost more money!!
Only some cars are featured in my showroom, it's always out of date, my collection is always changing!!
Having joined the Tamiya Club I've joined many SIG's but I particualrly highlight the Retro Racers / Quick Silver SIG's, as these lead to racing again (at the Hinckley Radio Control Car Club - check out their web-site for details). The HRCCC provides an excellent Saturday afternoon's racing most weeks, that's run very well and with a very friendly membership, ideal for beginners and experts alike. I would recommend the HRCCC to everyone. In the summer it's buggy racing outdoors, and the winter it's indoors (touring cars etc.) in a huge sports hall.
