WOW!!!

Shoots......................and he SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOORES!!!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Reg is helping me out with some parts for a worlds car that I picked up on the bay. It was listed as "old rc car" with a BIN of $50! I couldn't smash the button fast enough! Funny, a week later the guy who sold it to me contacted me again asking if I wanted the box for the car that he just found in the basement. I told him I would atleast like to pay the shipping for the box but he said no you already paid alot for the old rc car! LOL

ya its not bad, looks in really good shape, tires are a little worn but oh well lol. the side peices shouldnt be too bad to find since alot of people take off the orange ones if they find the gold option parts, and pargu is making them now too.

should restore nicely with the variety of pargu/teambluegroove parts that are out there.

I think this has to be one of the best scores I have seen anyone pick up in a while. Awesome to see a great guy pick up a ripper of a deal. Well done mate, I'm sure you'll have a great time running this car.

Fantastic score there mate - really a very good deal!

I personally love the Javelin, has so much character. All the pipe frame cars do.

The Javelins look so darned cool when driving.

Glad it went to someone that will enjoy it and not flip it for a quick buck. Good on you mate.

Cheers

Darryn
