After 6 months searching for this rare 1/10th scale tamiya old skool with front mount engine and belt drive RC car it was down to the mate at www.gingapaint.co.uk for a paint job and tints, then up to M Tec for the decals so many thanks to all and not long finished applying the graphix and i'm chuffed to bits with her. few wee things still to do like trim the arches with dremmel etc (came cut badly) and get the bonnet pins cut and onto it plus i think the rally ireland door number but nearly done :D
what you's think ?

Graham,
You'd wanna change the registration number on it!
Here's a model of Genie's championship winning Corolla that one of the Tyrone lads we go to rallies with has:

no the wheels-single lock nut wheels are not homolagated, nor are poly carbonate bodies and seperate chassis.
