My beloved Porsche 959

[Rizzo]

I got this a couple of years ago, it was apparently built for Toy traders in Sydney back in 85 for a hobby show. It was run a few times at the show then put in the box. Until now. I got the box, manual, second set of wheels with slick tyres, preiod radio gear, spares etc. The body has a few small tiny cracks & the paint is peeling off in a few places so in time I will strip it & repaint it. The decals are all perfect except for the red & gold stripes which seem to have perished a little. The chassis is brand new.
I've only driven it a few times in anger, it needs the smoothest possible surface to really enjoy it.
Hard Packed sand at the beach is best. I'm still debating wether or not I should paint the wheels white, I have no idea why they Tamiya made them yellow?
Hope u like the pics

wow thats cool... almost looks real when its in action

[murphy3428]

those are some cool action shots, I don't think I could pull mine from the shelf and do that. At least some one is having fun!

Great shots matey, reminds me of how I used to treat mine, back in the late 80s - early 90s.... back before they were collectable... back before I sold my two for $250

Keep up the great work!!!

Awesome pictures again!
How do the shocks keep up? I remember helping a friend with putting sonic fighter front shocks on his (the hydraulic ones)

Great looking car. What are you a professional photographer, those action shots are incredible. You are a braver man than I am, I'd never have the guts to drive such a nice 959 like that.

[Rizzo]

The shocks are fine, but not for really rough stuff.

I'm not the photographer, my 8 year old son is. He's one of these "genius" children, excels at everything he puts his mind toward, but still can't tie his own shoelaces.......

Not too long ago someone on ebay was selling cnc arms for 959, anyone try that out?

Sounds familiar

I used mine quite a bit at my local off-road track, but actually most of the time mine was run on the street, at night in the pouring rain with the lights on - great big 4-wheel drifts across the street, looked awesome
