hey c0br4. i also live in the UK and have saw all these car that are advertised on tv. there have been quite a few so far and i can speak for most people here when i say they are not good at all. HPI make quality cars and spares and repairs are widely available all over the net and even at some hobby shops. as for the items you are buying they are good stuff. the Model techniks fuel i have used since i got my first car and had no problems what so ever. i recommend going out and buying about 20 odd rechargeable batteries as if the batteries go wonky then your car goes bye bye and there is nothing worse than driving miles away to run your car to find the batteries are dead. so its always good to have a few spare kicking about. and after run oil and air filter oil is also good. you will definitely need the air filter oil as you must clean the filter every 5 or so tanks. also since this is an HPI car you will recieve HPI RC Cars DVD volume 2. i got this with my car because since mines was a Hot Bodies then the guy gave me the disc when i bought my car. i recommend watching this as it clearly indicates the break in procedure and many other requirements for these cars. they also use the Rush while showing you how to break it in so you will be clearly show every step to take for your car.
