That first gen tmaxx I made the mistake of buying. What a POS.

Me too, that was junk right out of the box

Younger, I begun to make an alloy car to explod it.
But it was too heavy. Maybe will I build it and expolse it with gun powder . Maybe is it a few dangerous
I would like to destroy a midnight or a lunchy but I 'll cry after the baoummmmmmmmmm.

Out of the Tamiya range, I'd pick a Bullhead. Strap some C4 to it, drive it off Beachy Head and BOOM!

I'd love to re-do my Celica LB Turbo Rocket car. I intend to at some stage, just not with an original LB. I need to improve the steering setup (too much) and how I had the rockets mounted so its more controllable.

Previous attempt can be seen here, done many years ago,

Thats a very cool Mad Max looking paint job you have there.

The 15 years of dust kinda finish it off nicely...
The black Hammerite & stainles window grilles were done in the mid-80s when I was racing my SRB(s) with that shell on!
I actually bought the complete car (With box, which I still have) second hand for a fiver in '84, purely to shred to recover the ballraces from the back axle (Cos that was the cheapest way to buy them back then!). Only kept the shell cos it looked cool, & the box to store parts in (There's most of a Hirobo Rock-n-city I had from the 80s living in there at the mo). Hindsight sucks!

That reminds me, I need to find that photo....

Found it! - my old Kawasaki 750 turbo! Similarity to the LB? Any guesses to my favourite film?

yeah, they were cheap second hand back in the 80s. I bought my Celica LB, a hornet and Renault Mk 22 Martini, with some radio gear all secondhand for $40. And because of that I never placed much value on it until 2 years ago when I decided to restore. But even so, I have no regrets and its more fun that if everyone kept everything in pristine condition in case it was going to be worth lots. The fun I had abusing my hornet and fox, and I think its those kinds of memories that adds to the value of the ones that remain today
