The B44.1 was FANTASTIC, and with the 'tweeks' and weight I was told to do, the car was on rails, (if I could have only got my act together!)

The Pred, It's a 'heart thing'.

To get the most out of any hobby I have, I've got to 'want' the model I'm playing with. The purchase of the B44 2 years ago and the latest B44.1 were made with a 'calculator' and facts. My heart was not in the car, only my head.

I am quite liking the idea of the new SXIII because I used to race a Pro Cat and Cat 2000 back in the late 80's and very early 90's. But Cat's, are they really all that yet? How long will it be before the SX4 comes out, 2 months, or maybe 4 after the release of the 'new SX3 ????? and they're now made in China like my fridge!

The Pred is different, it's always been there, it's always been British, but always the underdog for one reason or another. I remember being thrashed by them in the early 90's, until they snapped 'another' wish bone !!!! The Yokomo were another 'must have' car in the 90's, but I never did. Buying one now, I don't know, a bit plastic, a bit expensive, a bit rare.

Come to think of it, just like the Pred

But hey, as I said, it's a heart thing, and not at all rational !

And you've just got to LOVE the suspension !!

But I've just looked at my bank balance, and nothing will be bought this month, or even next
