Lol - my 'better half' is rather bemused at my hobby & why I would want to take pictures of my toys... worst of all the possibility of being caught out with me whilst i am in 'geek-mode'

Well, perhaps it's because on the beech you said 'how about a couple of pics with the top off' when you wanted to take a pic without the shell on?

Perhaps the Mrs misunderstood!

oh, and great to get a message from the man himself, brilliant!

Ive seen this thread on other forums, mainly rctech.
But I cant help to wonder, is this guy actually have the car
that Hirosaka had? Or is he simply wanting to reproduce a replica kinda like
not having the original just the one that looks like the one that won that year.
I bet if he had the original it wouldnt be for sale anywhere.

Excellent! I'm impressed you think it could be the real thing!

I'm a regular here and put pics of the build on....it is definitely a replica....I still have yellow, red and black fingers to prove it!

It's clearly a replica and an excellent one.

Yeah masami keeps all his cars I think. There are pics on the net with exhibitions of his (mostly very green) collection.

The real one sits at Schumachers UK headquarters. ...just had an email from Robin actually saying he likes my car

Awesome, must be a great feeling to have compliments back from Masami and Mr.Schumacher and the article is a testament to all your hard work. Inspiring stuff in a weird way!
