I used to like the little crappy cars from toys'r'us and argos but they kept breaking. So for my bday i went to my local model shop and bought a tamiya on road car and my first ever Racer magazine i saw the Electric 1/10th off road class in the magazine and it started from there.

I went to a local club i found in radio race car when i was 10, got a cougar 2 for my birthday and i have been hooked ever since. Although i did have a 12 year lapse whilst racing on road

I was out with some mates on my bike and stumbled on HRC during a race day. Saw a Cat2000 for sale and annoyed my dad until he bought me it The first meeting i did i took out the 27turn motor and whacked in a 10x2 by round 2....o how things havent changed

H the old man was into R/C boats and got me a Tug boat and my brother a PT thing, we won the junior cardiff regatta a few times and got bored of it, found a kid in my class with a copy of RRCI , Sold the boat for a Tamya Blitza Beetle, then a Tamya stricker . met a lot of people down at C.O.B.R.A and got told to sell the tamya and get a rc10....you know the rest

a couple of friends of mine had tamiya cars, a hornet, lunchbox and boomerang etc.
I got one to go and bash around the parks with them.
Then a club started up in the town so i went down there and soon spent a load on a procat with all the trimmings. We also had a model shop open up in the town so the club thrived. Regularly had 12 heats or 6-7 cars, finishing after midnight on Sundays. People were pitting on stair cases as there just wasn't enough space! Unfortunately the shop went under and the club started to dwindle a bit after that. I left for Uni and gave up the hobby for nearly 10 years, until i returned in 2004.

I was thinking about getting one of those cheapy argos drift cars, when my brother said to look at nitro cars, well I stumbled across MSUK and eventually bought a TC3, in easter 06, soon bought a Xray T2, then my club decided to do off-road again so got a XXX-CR, now sold that and bought my new secret buggy

I got into it because the lil ben [i'll never forgive him ]. I liked the look of his car and he suggested for me to come watch. I liked the look of it and so bought a second hand b3... and things went on from there
