I'd have taken the plug socket off the wall before painting the wall.

I think there is some underhandedness going on Nic and someone was found out.

Something fishy is going on. Although I've met taylorboosh so I don't think he is involved.

Water cooled Blata rep? The clutches on those Chinese copies are awful. But they are fun. My mates one wasn't too far behind my air cooled yin. Edit: pics aren't clear but on second glances, it looks air cooled? What kind?

You might end up spending a small fortune on a Chinese rep John Hopefully yours is a good'un, as fuck me they can be unreliable. Although my Blata hasn't exactly proved itself to be any better.

Cool toys break regardless of if the real thing or the Chinese copy. This is what I've learnt with anything remote control, petrol powered or electronic.

May as well buy the cheap stuff. Have fun till it breaks and then sell it as broken. Its the most cost effective way of scratching a toy itch.

Noticed this which worried me...

So stripped the door panel and found


Gave it a dry out and rust treated


Doesnt look too bad so hopefully caught it, will give it a dose of paint on wed or thurs


Think the dodgy mirror is the culprit so removed it


Couple clean pics






The grill is missing as im mid hid conversion - they sent the wrong ones grrr
