I use the Turtle Wax version on our motorhome, so easy to apply and gives a really good result.

The Gtechiq seems to come near the top of every test it's in. Annoying to apply with the applicator but it seems usefully more long lasting than most of the spray types.

Carplan Super Gloss is a great wallet friendly alternative. £6 a bottle and will do about 4 cars!

I watched this the other day 😄 a bit too much hot glue use for my liking tbh, but still cool.

I’m pretty sure you can buy an RC ‘hotwheels’ chassis which you can add your own body to already.

Obviously still going to need some custom work, but probably less fragile than this.

Reminds me when those nano RC cars came out. I think 1:64 is the Hotwheels scale. Surprised to see HPI still making them with some very impressive features

Some of the little Losi rc cars look great too, I guess they might be 1/24 scale, but look like normal buggies scaled down. Not cheap though!

Should investigate really, would be good to keep my nephew ( not me, honestly ) amused over the dark wet winter months 😄

I'm not sure why anyone needs four 968CS's, but this is quite an interesting vid.

At 9mins30 they even have a brief Cup1 vs Cup2 discussion to satisfy @Marv and I :lol:

I really enjoyed that. All the best Porsches featured (albeit far too little 928 content) but I was shocked Jonny didn't know the 928 was a transaxle.
If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.

This is good and a very silly build. Also, it is finished.

Enjoyed this. Felt like an honest review.

Add this to the list of cars that I’m very glad exist, but I really have no desire to own. Not pretty, but the exterior visuals work somehow. Dash is ugly however, and that steering wheel is awful.

If I wanted a muscle bound V8 GT cruiser (for a lottery win fleet) I’d much rather an end-of-the line 928 GTS manual. Ideally wearing Cup1’s.

I assume most of you already follow this chap. Some excellent Mini racing in this.
