Tip on the tyres for the truck. Normaly about £70 a pair, buy the pajero on road conversion kit instead. 4 wheels, 2 wheel extenders, 2 normal and 2 wide tyres plus the wheel inserts for about £80 from that hoby shop in germany.
The trucks are god fun

Very Nice! I would love to have something like that, but I dont think it would be worth the money for just parking lot running, no tracks around here.

Hey Vernon,

You're going to like your truck. It's one of my favorites, it looks so real going down the road. Here's some PICs of mine.

I really cool truck you have there my friend [sm=thumbup.gif]

Take your time to decide on the painting, what theme to use and what feels right, it's a beautiful shell and are worth a really good paintjob, good luck with it Veron [sm=thumbup.gif][sm=thumbup.gif]


I have considered these semis many times... but i guess i feel it's not for me, or something []
Have sold my touring race car a week ago, because i never use it, had no time getting to a track to drive it, now i miss it so much... have to get something to make up for this empty feeling inside, my bigfoot is a good comfort, but i need something... a good compliment to my bigfoot, im looking around for something... if anyone have some ideas please send a pm, thanks.

Veron, please keep us updated on what kind of paintjob you are going to do, would be nice to hear some ideas and comment them anyways, good luck with it, and to rush it

I think it's more the old... if i get hold of something good that i just love, i always try to find something to top it I think that is what will be the end to mankind... never satisfied, always wanting more [sm=rolleyes.gif] We are basically living on a bomb that WILL explode in a not so distant future why the negative thoughts as od-boll would have said, but im tired, restless and it's the truth. Will be nice with a good cleanup in the future Most uf us are probably a plague to most animals and probably to the earth itself anyways, no news there.. just keep up the good work [sm=thumbup.gif] hate those insects in the summertime [:'(] mainly mosquito's... i will get that 12gage or just a steel-bat and sort them out his summer [sm=thumbup.gif] No, im no greenpeace person or something like that, i just dont believe that everything is going to stay this way for much longer.... it will collapse, or maybe im pushing 40 soon (34 next week... i think ) [sm=biggrin.gif]


Edit: In short geniusgene We love our big scale car's, and most of us will feel the urge to go head over heels to get another of those big rigs... and another, it's like a drug (bad choice of word, but you know what i mean ) or maybe it's the gasoline fumes taking over our minds
