What's up with that logo in the header? UK 2020 and then 4-6 June 2021?!

I never noticed until i took a screen shot. Must be cheaping out so they don't have to pay for a new design every year.

I am treating myself and 3 mates to a lads weekend for my 50th, which would have happened in 2020 but was interupted by the WuFlu.

Is the Thunder Shot a Re Re?

I recently bought an Avante 2011 as I don't have a "runner" Avante and wanted the box to frame the box art. I've framed a Top Force rere and original Egress box art.

No the Thunder Shot is original new in box from the 80's, the Sonic Fighter is also original from the 80's. That was my first car.

The rest are Re-Re's, I could not afford the Avante or Egress back in the day so had to pick them up.

A few more on top of a wardrobe! Happiest days of my life running Tamiya cars with my mates in the late 80's early 90's.

Exactly my recollection, although I never had a Tamiya, until later, it was a rich kids toy at School. I used to visit Beatties and watch the video's and the box-art is sublime. The later boxes lost the appeal, and rarely any of the buggy's have drivers nowadays.

The re-releases are super addictive, I have bought some, used to buy a few from Hong Kong as they were super cheap, I don't think they are such the bargain nowadays though.

You have the two holy grails as well, never stumped up for an Avante.

Aargh I wish I hadn't visited this thread now! So tempting!

I was no rich kid unfortunately.

God knows how many cars I washed and lawns I mowed to pay for my Tamiya. I certainly had to work for it, but it taught me a good life lesson early on it that if I want something I have to get off my ass and work for it.

P.S The Avante is a work of art!
 
A couple of yokohamas for my old faithful fabia and 3 Hours parking at Harlyn bay for a fun bodyboard session, i like big gaps when i park

Arrived an hour ago - a completely OTT and expensive battery charger lol! Supposed to also connect to a PC to log data but I haven't explored that yet.
