Lofty's ** BOXART COLLECTION ** SWB CAT - RC10 - OPTIMA - BB
Posted: Sat Jun 09, 2012 4:47 pm
So, here's where I'm upto in my box art collection, MASSIVELY proud of the SWB CAT as it's a 1 off from what I can see with the original box art model being lost in the mists of time (the decals were created by an agency from scamps of the original schumacher 1986 artwork, the schuey factory being not many miles away from me here in the UK)..
The Optima is now fully back to original, ie: the gold shocks are now red just need to do pics - the CAT / RC10 & Optima were my absolute top 3 rides as a kid, probably given away for peanuts at the time & repurchased for a "few quid more" recently and bought back to life, the optima was a flippin steal off craigslist (ie: thought it was a scam) BB came out of my loft along with a mardave meteor & 2 frogs (now sold) the cat & the rc10 I had to cough up for..
Happy retro buggying y'all...
Hope brings back a few good memories for you too ;0)
Distance not only brings nostalgia, but a perspective & objectivity for the future
