My girlfriend seems to be pretty cool with my RC habit. She thinks it's ''cute'' that I'm passionate about something, and it probably doesn't hurt that she's also a mechanical engineering major. I find that the best way to silence critics is to show them a car in action, or (if you're brave enough) hand them the controls.

In other news, I got my HPI Super F1 in the mail today, came with essentially two complete chassis (one like new) and a bag of parts in original package. It's cool to say that I own HPI part #A001.

So yeah, I actually have about three sets of everything, though one of the chassis is in really sorry shape. Two bodies: one never run, one beat to hell and back. I think I got about 8 full sets of wheels, two with brand new foams and one with rubber slicks. Even got the original manual!
I need to pick up a few more screws to finish everything off, need a couple more spurs as well.

But then who'd waste all their money on HPI?

This is the best I can do at the moment. Roommate is asleep so lighting is bad.

ThunderbirdJunkie wants this car. That was a friggin awesome score. You gonna run it? Hopefully you have a local F1 class where you cna beat up on F103s and 104s and show the HPI car's superiority.

As for my GF, well... She supports my hobby in that she doesn't nag about it. Beyond that, she doesn't show interest. I offered to build her one, but she didn't seem interested.
