Please allow up to 14 days for delivery. Issue 1 comes for the special price of £1.99, Issue 2 is £4.99 and each issue thereafter costs £7.99.


which means its going to cost over £700 !

I wouldn't fit inside a 1-1/8th model

But spending £700 on a 1-1/8th model that takes 85 weeks to complete.... (and ultimately looks a bit tacky) - is well... Sad.

You don't need to be a racing driver to know that.

If it wasn't so bloody dear I would build it!

I built one of there remote controlled cars a few years back, was a Subaru Impreza, and then once it was finished it was optional for you to upgrade with stiffer springs, different wheels and tyres , bloody money grabbers.

Cost a few hundred, broke the first time I used it
