Title: The Passion of Painting Coconuts....
Post by: RedRobin on January 27, 2013, 05:18:18 pm

" We don't actually have any hobbies - We just do what some people think are hobbies "

I once built a fully customised 1932 Ford Deuce Coupe on a scalectrix chassis - I wish I still had it. I was in my very early teens and it's probably where the car modding bug started.

By complete coincidence, guess what I picked yesterday from my pondside rockery....

Great stuff, also what a great job  :happy2:...

The Japanese Sedum really does look like trees, so when will you be starting you own race track Red  :evilgrin:

Just finished watching it all (Colin McRae had to go on pause  :wink:) and WOW what a great programme Robin.  :happy2:

Would LOVE a track like that, the detail in the cars, track and surroundings are immense. I love the Audi Quattro "hiding" in the barn, class touch.

Used to mod my slot cars too. Can't remember the names of the cars now but great memories. Goes off to search the interweb.......
