My mates older brother bought a second hand holiday buggy from a model shop and let us have a go with it. Got one myself the following Christmas, and after bashing around for a while saw in a local model shop an original mardave mini stock, brand new and cheap as chips.
A bit more bashing in the local school playground, then heard about Ilkeston model car club (now Broxtowe) what a revelation! Went there for the first time and was hooked, over the years have had loads of cars and many lay offs due to kids etc but have been back for 18 months and never going away again, it is definitely in the blood.
