hmmmmmm i see your dilema
i think personally i'd go Kankkunen, but great project, im gonna have to pop over again and check the place out . . . . that plus get back into the swing of things
ohh and those model gt4's are starting to pop up real cheap, insurance however aint looking too hot, i've checked, and as long as you dont mind high mileage, but you gotta be careful not to get one all chaved up and raced!, you can grab yourself a cheap WRC car ready for some b road blasting!
i was leaning that way too
ive got a few rally kits to do......ailitalia stratos, fiat 131, quattro and a focus wrc but ive got no decals for that......got to find some from somewhere

i think when i get back into it i'm probably gonna stick to rally kits, i lost interest on the R10 after bits went wrong/missing. picked up an army landing craft, a 60's mini cooper racing, and have the Stratos kit still, but just cant seem to find the time for them, might have something to do with them being stuck upstairs in the attic/build room?!
might move the small table into the back bedroom for easier building, can have the PC on playing music at the same time then . . . .
give me a poke on the weekend to check out the other forum, im stuck in work for 12 hrs on both days and its gonna be a quiet weekend!!!
will do..............if thats the tamiya mini cooper kit (rather than the revell 'new' mini) then its a peach of a kit.....goes together really nice...they do about 3 diff versions of it...road, race and rally but its basically the same kit.....i did one if you remember

i remember, thats redreds motor!
i believe it's a tamiya kit, was on the sale rack at about £7 at my lhs.
gonna pick up a truck kit too, a newsagents in the other valley to me has a volvo kit in for £25, he's trying to get rid of it, but then things went tits up with my motor and i got no spare cash for it, wont keep it till the end of the month for me either the bastard!
