Gertcha wallet out I say! :D
I'd love one, but cost aside, it would take me months to build I think. There are thousands of parts and the instruction manuals are like the bible.

Also, annoyingly, they do a truck cab option or an open top, but not one like mine which is an ex-army 109, so 2-door with a canvas top. There's a thriving facebook community though, and I did a guy who'd fabbed his own aluminium hoops and canvas!

Grown up toy if it's anything like the RC Toyota that popped up on Instagram yesterday. Dunno how many ££s it was but the mechanisms underneath (diffs, props etc etc) looked pretty impressive.
My Tamiya Hornet had all that in the 80's, I keep meaning to buy another kit and build it just for nostalgia, but I think I'd put it away ten minutes after building it and then never get it out again.
I sometimes think the same thing. I had a Hornet. Also acquired a Dakar 959 and the huge monster truck pick up thing at one point.

Tamiya Hilux kits are maybe £5-600? I thought they were cool but this thing you've linked to is light years ahead.

Bargain!

Beer :thumbup:

I discovered a little brewery who do a good Gluten Free range of beer without taking the piss with the pricing. They have a range of full fat beer also but for me its good as all you seem to get in the local shops is bloody lagers. Now i have a choice of Five or Six proper beers ranging in strength from low alcohol to 6%

Well chuffed

I've been tempting myself with one of those for a while now... but we already have more coffeee-making things in the kitchen than I can count, and we don't drink half as much coffee as we used to...


(that reminds me: must order some more Monsoon from Waveney Valley)

New pair of general walkin' about boots. Spotted them in the clearance section, limited run of boots and the only pair left just happened to be in my size.

Hand made in Lancashire...took me far far too long to get the pun in their name.

I didn't deliberately get my man/work bag in the background, but yeah my jeans are quite tight and my face quite beardy.
