First time out, about 1991, friend at school got a Tamiya Manta Ray and I thought it was the coolest thing. Got a Schumacher Cougar not long after that and we took a trip Oldham Radio Car Off Road Club, that had me sucked in until '94 or 95 when full-size cars, beer and women took priority.
Second time out, 2004, and my best mate gets a B4 RTR to go racing and bond with his new stepson. Soon after I'm the proud owner of a B4 too and a regular at Bury Metro. Damned addictive hobby!
