Talking Bringing back the memories

Just stumbled across this site and checked out the action photos and was amazed to see most of the same people still racing at the Bury regional. Specifically this photo http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/bury1...es/bury15.html
It was like looking at a picture from years ago, but with everyone aged

I used to race about 6 years ago and loved the bury track.

Anyway, all these memories are making me want to race again :smile:

Daz

EDIT: By the way, very nice site

Someone came into work with a really nice condition mardave apache today for me to fix for them.. trying to find a car in mi collection to swap for it at the moment, cant allow this lovely apache to be ragged into the ground.

Was looking at the pics in the Projects part of the site, i used to race a Sand Scorcher, looks like a nightmare to repair.

Team17 the software games company? Im guessing this is your website and that's why all the graphics look cool :thumrigh: Nice work
