Hi all,
Great to be back!!
The last time i had tamiya r/c cars was in the 1980s when i raced tamiya Legends like my first car the Subaru Brat at my r/c club. Not the best car but it was a great car start to the hobby with. Then i moved up the ladder, frog, Fox and Boomerang which i had some good results with at my old club! and even won some trophies with my Fox & Boomerang!
I also had a lunch box van with which i had hours of enjoyment with! I am back again now for the 2nd time in my life with this hobby and that must say something about its addiction! My first car on my return to this great hobby was a Mad Bull because i live in Cornwall and wanted to utilize the Mad Bulls capabilities on the sandy beaches with its big wheels!and its cheap!!lol. Have used it to death now!lol. Well that was just the start and my collection has grown a lot since then! I have lots of classic buggies now and have some great cars for the beach which is very important to me! My personal favourite 4 tamiya cars..or as i say my FAB 4!! are four Tamiya's that i have the upmost respect and admiration for! These are the True Legend that is the 1980s Holiday Buggy! the very first R/C buggy i ever saw and fell in love with all those years ago as a kid! I now own this Great Buggy! Happy man!!
The most iconic of them all! the Sand Scorcher which i have now too!The very,very Cool looking Wild One and the FAV with its excellent scale looks! I now own these two also. My FAB 4!!
Some more of my favourites are.....(The Ford Ranger with its very cool looks! still need one!!)(The very famous Blackfoot! A total classic! own this one now!) (Subaru Brat my 1st car that i owned in the 80s and have this classic in my collection now also!!)(The Fox! a very good racer in its day! have this one on the shelf now too!) ( The Boomerang that i had my best results on the track with!Great buggy!looking for a 2nd one!) (The most iconic 4WD! The Hotshot that i own now too!) (The Hornet was a car i wanted so much back then but did not get hold of and this buggy was a star at our club in its day!Have two now!!
(The Colossal Clod Buster) and (1987 champion the Kyosho Ultima) are Speical to me too and very happy to now own these too!
There are lots more Tamiyas i love too! the list seems endless!!lol check out my showroom for my cars and lots of great beach action shots!!!!!!!!
I am very happy to join the Tamiya club its a great club and has a lot of great members! many that i class as good friends now to share this Awesome hobby with.
(My T/C statistics.....
I have won Tamiya101 picture of the month twice...(July2011-Hoilday Buggy) & (March2013-Blackfoot)
and finished 5th,17th,13th,6th, in the T/C competion!)
This hobby is all about fun!!fun!!fun!! this time around with no club racing!No serious stuff!!....I will just have lots of fun on the T/C and have massive fun doing lots of beach blasting this time around!!
I am lucky enough to live in such a great place with great beaches and intend to take full advantage of it!!!!
I have built a car for my wife too from parts just in case she would like to join me down the beach some times!! Heres hoping!!!
Cheers MAD-BEE.
