My dad first got a Tamiya when i was about 4. There is a pic of me and him looking at it on the beach
My first car was a Tamiya Sand Scorcher (wish i still had it, probably worth a bomb) It had this weird shell made out of solid plastic. I used to race at Cheadle Bowling Club and then started in doors at Poynton.
My dad raced out door at the Tamiya Championships, and i started soon after, we won enough vouchers between us to get 3 boomerangs for free
I've had a fair few cars, mostly buggies, but some saloons and 1/12th's
My faves were the Kyosho Scorpion, Pro Cat and my all time fave and the one i was still driving when i gave up the Losi XX
My dad still races, but mostly Saloons (i found these boring). He still runs Chapel Radio Control in Hazel Grove, but i think he treats it too much like an extension of his hobby
