Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread

All right thank you all

that's three projects here coming from 3 different people, from three different countries (in at least 2 continents), and three different times (talk many years apart)... all sharing proline rims. That's weird :)

Thanks all

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread

Holy Cow Reggie, you're freakin' amazin' :shock:

For the last set (current rpm rims) I can't seem to find a reference to them on Tower at least - but they're usually pretty good for rpm stuff... can you be more explicit maybe?

Thanks for the info :)

Re: 1983 IFMAR 1/8th IC World Champs (Oct/Nov 1983 Model Car

I had always heard about the controversy but never read about it... thanks for sharing. The article's tone is shocking though... can you imagine this kind of nation-calling happening in 2011??? Anyways... all this mess wouldn't have happened if Dallas was already IFMAR boss as opposed to Longshaw......

Re: 1983 1/8th Off Road Euro Champs Lausanne Switzerland.

Awesome! Interestingly my track is just 5kms away, I suspect some of the older members might have participated in the organization back then... I relayed that on the club's forum.

thanks again!

Paul

PS: Little Pedro has come a long way since then ;)
