Default Evening

Hi I'm FERRETTI and yes I'm yet another thirty something with a D.I.N.K.Y. lifestyle playing with toy cars. I’ve been involved in model car racing since 1978 when we raced Holiday Buggies, Cheetahs,XR311s and the like at a local school. I still have my Cheetah although it’s in many bits at the moment. My main aim is to collect all the cars I have owned in the past (the only one left to get is a Hornet) and as I was a racer most with the exception of only a few are race-derived models. I have also collected some other race spec 2wd cars that I have not previously owned such as a Super Astute, RC10 and a Dyna Storm as I like their styling. There are still more cars I would like to own as funds and availability allow (isn’t that always the way ). I am not a parts or conversions guru, I would have to class myself as a box art classic rc car freak . If this intro is in the wrong forum please feel free to move it. Thanks. Here is my number one car my RC10CE for you all to have a look at if I can get the image to work.

You need to be racing that at the Vintage Masters on saturday night.
They were meant to be raced.

Hi mate,

That's a nice vintage RC10

I think it's a bit too good to use down at York vintage masters...

Am i right in thinking that you're also a member of RC10Talk?

I seem to recognise the uber cool bodywork

Welcome to the forum, I'm sure you'll find some amusment along the way

Hello, welcome to the forum and our crazy world

Nice looking RC10 you have there, if you're unsure about thrashing it around the track at York then at least drop in at the meeting this Saturday to have a look around and see what cars are in the vintage class, THAT might make you feel nostalgic enough to put it on the track

Welcome!
Save it!!! haha

I have two such rc10's and wouldn't dare race them like stu (he's mad) get a used one off ebay and hammer that instead!

My first RC was a hornet - thankfully they rereleased it so I have a new one now, not finished painting it yet mind.
