always used to watch programs.. like model mania and the sort. One episode was of a rally car being built preped and painted, then they went to a meeting to race and i'd always wanted to try it. Needless to say i'm yet to find a rally car club!

You know the focus that they built?
when they started painting the shell?.....and then a few moments later said "this is what the finished product looked like"?.........there was a week and a half between those shots........cos I painted the shell!!!!
It was RRCi ed peter emery, i did put some stickers on to say it was painted by me......but they took them off.
If you look, they made a mess of the first one because they didn't mask the red off.
My claim to fame!
I started rc racing after a work experience lad came to work at our place in 1993. I was interested in rc anyway (having bought a tamiya manta ray) and he asked if i raced it, and i was like, eh? wot u on about?
so he told me to go to a local club that ran at a school, that was it then, i was hooked!
My parents just happened to know Jamie booth ( i didn't have a clue who he was back then) so, seeing as he worked for tamiya and was running the manta ray too, I got loads of 'team' parts off of him. by the time i'd done the car was virtualy a works car.
Wish i'd kept it now, it was a clas car.
