Yes and Yes. The Turbo Ultima I shot with my son across the street by the church (nice big parking lot and a dirt road behind it). The Ultima II was in my back yard (small yard by my standard but enough room to play). There is also a few parks near by one of which has a baseball diamond that can be fun to run.

I do believe that threads like this one, the one with the vintage ads(dont remember who started it) and the one I started; show us your vintage collection... for example, should be turned to stickies. I am not writing this because I am the author of one of them, frankly I do care a rat's a$$ about that, but because of the value in collection of vintage pictures each one of them are gathering and will keep on doing with time. It would be sad for them to sink into the depths of forgotten threads....

Those old R/C adds from the 80's really sucked me in. Wether it be the old Tamiya videos or RCCA I am still a fan of them. There was something if nothing else a little inspirational about them. As a kid the concept of being able to control a toy car from afar appealed to me. We were made to think that each and every model was a formula for winning (LOL!)
To this day I still have a soft spot for the 80's through to early 90's off road buggies. I'm glad to be able to share this passion with you all.

Agree with you all. These aren't simply about being the fastest, best paint, crazy alloy fiber composite. Or the rarest and most expensive. Its really about the Memories of a simpler time, when driving these cars WAS our highlight, remembering falling in love with mechanics, psychics, "horse power". When we transitioned from boys to men. Those moments we shared with our fathers building modifying our "toy" cars. This is what RC is all about (at least to me). And these cars, are the backbone of what RC is and has been. These "Share Your Pic" threads are some of the most fun to go over just to see for fun.

So how do we get a moderator to stickey the threads?

[Welshy40]

This site says it all show us them being used whereas the others were just show us your cars. Keep the pics and videos coming, and Terry thats some serious air under your old cars.

[BORMAC]
