Default serman 2 lol

TBH you cant turn people away if they want to spend money can you?
The worst kind are 1/5th scale buyers normally as they always seem to be the same kind of person an are attracted to it because it runs on petrol mate lolol
The latest thing is also to buy scalextric sets with the flat xover track against our advice and experence then bring the cars back 2 days later smashed to bits due to being driven head on into each other by there kids.

In the global scheme of things if we could somehow stop buying from HK etc, prices would come down as more units would be sold, shops turnover higher so discounts would be more forthcoming.

Intresting story time, in Germeny big car parts like filters brake pads etc, can only be bought by TUV approved people not joe blogs etc down at Halfrauds. TUV certification is hard to get too.
This has ment that more people take cars to approved dealerships and repair centres for work to be done thus labour and parts prices are reasonable.
This is also the country where you can only by tyres in pairs an they must be same make and tread pattern across the axle whilst this is expensive if you get a puncture its stops people running round on poo tyres that are unsafe.
Everyone benefits and to me this seems sensible.

rev rc lol
