My rc history started at secondary school in 1981, I used to watch a guy every weekend race his rc car in a field near my house and it made me want one of my own, to get the funds for my own rc car I used to wheel and deal in watches and game and watch games with my school friends, eventually I built up a nice collection of game and watch games and I got sidetracked and i swapped them for a Diana sp50 air gun, I accidentally shot a friend during a game of cowboys and he wasn't too happy with me to say the least so I decided to get rid of it and swapped my Diana for a dune buggy or frog, can remember which but they were my first 2 cars, I then moved from Manchester to devon and got to be friends with someone that raced rc cars so I went along to the club and was hooked, my next car was a kyosho lazer zx, then a zxr and although I gave up for 15 years as a family and responsibilities came along, I had a son and when he became an age where I could get him a car and he would understand its workings I did so and got myself another at the same time, I now have about 15 cars and enjoy it more than ever, we have great clubs down here in devon and racing is my highlight of the week :-)
