RE: Cars bought by members in 2021 - Top Down - 20th-Feb-21

Another forum purchase and photograph, this has to be the weapon of choice for the Saloon class. 

Magnet removed, wheels spaced out to the edge of the body, front end down in the weeds, original rear tyres trued and the motor pod eased off by less than half a turn and it drives like a dream. Smooth, quiet (just how I like my cars), quick and very stable. I just love this car. 

Only other thing I had to do was fish the Mercedes star out from behind the grill before it disappeared completely. It now resides in the ziplock bag of spares taped to the bottom of the case. 

Perhaps I need to spend more time setting up the NSR Beemer, as at the moment this puts it in the shade.

The only 125 I know with yellow wheels is the Pirtek version.
I don't know the history of those, as I didn't set them up. But it would appear at some point he must have swapped the chassis over.

 Thanks. Just curious, that's all.

At only $29 US new in the blister pack. And it's in stock! That's always a plus.

I could not refuse.

I just watched the video on tuning your stock 4-gear. Thanks Andy.

... and yet more from this Forum's 'For Sale' section, both the cars and photos.

This pair are potentially heading for the next (Spring?) Proxy Rally. Other than removal of the magnets very little work has been required so far, although it looks like the rear tyres may need a little more truing up? 

Gut feel is that the Mitsubishi will be more predictable/better handling but as I have no track set up at the moment that's a purely subjective view.

I'm with you. All the gear - no idea. 

It's just a case of 'run what ya' brung' - or at least, 'what you have, as it is'

Still deciding whether to push the button on a set of Team Slots Red, Yellow and White mk2 Escorts

Not 100% sure I could get away with them considering the others ordered and with the watches I’ve bought recently, paternity leave and lockdown haven’t been kind to my wallet??
