Got three Tamiya kits to build when I get round to it.
A Top Force and a Dyna Storm re-release kits and an original 90's E30 M3 kit.
Top Force is first to be built. I have every Hop-Up option for it new including a carbon chassis.

I think you should give me the E30 M3 kit for being your best buddy.

From the 90s so its old and worthless, tenner collected.

I'd love to get into some RC cars but I'd probably enjoy tinkering with them more than driving them and already got too many real cars to tinker with lol

I race every weekend almost and been doing national level for 20 years now.
rc cars is kind of the reason my nova gets less love than it deserves

plus I built and run my own track/club in Herefordshire.

my current kits ready

I used to have this Yokomo MR4TC with a Tamiya Lancia body..

http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa201/M16KEB/05102008414.jpg

That was nearly 10 years ago. Im in the middle of building this for a bit of fun, its a Tamiya M06 with staggered HPI Fuchs wheels and a Maisto Camper body, the Patina is a work in progress.

Loving the Bus.

I have a small selection...... mainly Race cars.
Started off with Tamiya back in the day with a Madcap buggy, then got hold of a TA02 Escort Cosworth.
Looked into racing and found the Schumacher range of Touring cars, so started off with an SST98, followed up by an SST99.
Had a T-Tech T1 which was utter pants. Thought about Truck racing so bought a Associated T3 and raced it about 3 times!
Went back to racing the SST99 until I had enough cash for a Schumacher Mission (aka the Mi1 as it is known as now), did a few national rounds then the Nova took over my life! RC cars went to one side as I couldn't afford to do both. Although I did have a go at Stock car racing with a Mardave V12 as well.

improved money coming in from my job meant I wanted to go back into racing but fancied something different so bought a Tamyia TT-01 with E30 M3 Evo shell to Drift with until I got bored of that and went back to racing with my Mission!
Fast forwarding to this Christmas I have just added another car to my "garage", a VBC Wildfire D06 as my main Race car. retiring the Mission to sport my Cav Turbo shell. oh and have also just swapped the TT-01 for an M-05 Tamiya Mini.

Currently have the following cars
SST98, SST99, Mission, Associated T3, Mardave V12, VBC Wildfire D06 and a Tamiya M-05.
Will get some pictures up of the Cav, as that's probably the most interesting one!

The vbc wildfire is a great bit of kit agreed, I tried one of these not long back as a friend writes the reviews on cars for radio race car magazine so I get to have a play with anything he is sent to test.

although touring cars I find abit boring compared to 1/8th rallycross.

Heres a video of me just on a come in lap after qualifying at a big race at my club

The wildfire has improved my racing by around 2-3 laps over the mission. Which isn't too difficult. The guy who I bought it from bought a d07 and has been struggling with it to the point that he wanted to buy the d06 back!

I've never really been a fan of buggys, although some of the things people can do with them can be really quite fun. Hence why I have the t3 to play with. Can't take a touring car across a field!

I have a few cars, just been sorting them out but have no idea as to what make they are. Going to keep two to get back into it and just put one on ebay - cheeky link if allowed: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RC-Car-Road-or-Drift-Ready-to-Run-/261809385939?
