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.
