Old cars

[telboy]

Just been sorting through some rubbish in the house as we make way for the twins, and found some old photos (the old type, not digital) of my old buggies.


The old dogfighter...wish I still had it. Infact, i'm bidding on one now, it brought back such a good memory.

My beloved manta ray. Was my first RC racer, had it for about 3 years and it ended up being almost factory team spec when I'd done with it.

..and the cougar, was as keen on this one but it was fun and realy strong.

nice!
forgot how good looking the manta rays were!

Yeah, I had it with the original shell and the Egress shell, as well as the top force one pictured.

Id get another one tomorrow but would never get it to the spec I had that one, so it wouldn't be the same.

I think the dog was the works 95 one. I bought in not long after Masami won the worlds at basildon with one in '93. The dogfighter was awesome though and that was just a standard car so can I replicate the old memory of that by buying one.

ooh. Speaking of vintage Masami.
I had something to fondle for a few days whilst doing the RRCi review of the CAT SX.......


You will see more of it in the 300th RRCi issue.

Wicked ! i love old rc cars! the cougar reminds me of summer days at school, my mates all had Boss Cat's and cougar 2000's.
I was the odd one out with a Tamiya williams FW14 F1, funny enough iv'e still got it!
I've got a few vintage cars in my collection but not much in the way of buggys other than my brand new, unused Avante 2001.......

Was the Dogfighter the 'Works 95, or 98' model. I had a Works '95 and it was defo the best RC car I ever had.
