Default Happiest day of my life

So, just a few minutes ago I heard my neighbour shouting at me STOP, STOP! He came over to me and said, 'Today I saw you bashing about your nitro truck' I was thinking to myself, Im screwed, because I drive my MGT everyday and its extremly noisy so maybe is pi$$ed him off. Just to let you know my neighbour is super rich. He has a ferrari, his own airfield and helicopter. He continues talking and says, 'The field seems kind of small and unsuitable so maybe you should come down to my airfield and bash about there' Until this point i never knew he had an airfield! So he gives me directions to his airfield which is only half a mile away from my house and has a 500m runway for helicopters. He even offered me to fly me around and teach me to fly his helicopter every saturday! [8D][8D][8D][>:][>:]

Yeh, im nervous about the flying the helicopter bit, you have to like use all your arms and legs at the same time and independenly to control the helicopter safely from what ive heard, you also have to keep one eye on the instruments and the other watching outside. You have to be a superhuman!!!

Sounds like a win-win situation. He's super rich, but no RC cars or privately owned track?

I learned how to fly a helicopter a couple years back, quite a pain - fixed wings are the way to go

No, at first he didnt even call them RC cars, he called them petrol carts lol. RC cars arnt that big a thing in UK, but im going to be trying my best to get him into the sport. One lap arund the airfield with any nitro truck and he'll be instantly addicted

I live in London sometimes and in canterbury at other times, I only drive my nitro trucks in Canterbury (which is where the airfield is) as there is no vacant space in London

Keep it family-friendly people. Half the thread is gone due to inappropriate comments.

Dont worry reiko, canterbury is a very big town, no one will find the airfield or get into it, its heavily guarded with security systems

Sorry rcpowerhorse but I will be going back up to London on Saturday so I probably wont see you, so I myself will only be at the field for a hour, I still havent had the oppotunity to visit the field yet myself as its been raining and I had to go shopping with my GF as everthing is on Sale atm [:'(]

So do you live in Faversham or are you coming here for a visit? Maybe we can meet up sometime later when I have my new HPI Baja [>:]
