This is an interesting statement... i'd love to hear your veiws on the 'other' cars & how they compared

Despite starting racing in about 1988 (& only ever driven 2wd or TC), my first ever drive of an Ali tubbed RC10 was this year... my 93 Worlds Car, I've raced it 4 times so far & I can see why you would get so attached to them - they have their own dependable character - they feel solid - almost unbreakable but mostly that its doing it best for you. There's one particular characteristic that I love & takes me back to watching them being raced by others BITD & thats the way the rear end kind of 'hunkers-up' in fast sweeping bends - a trait of the car's short wishbones & links I guess?

I'm gonna stay away from making comments about the different types of cars and how I perceived them for racing as it is my own point of view, that I will keep private.
But yes, I agree with your statements.

ruf where are the mighty pics?? my mouth is watering!!!!

Apologies, I've been busy with work and my free time I've been building a website and forum from scratch for a friend's business to help him out.
