Based on a few of the model car pages I am a member of on Facebook, these will sell like hotcakes.

A team changes a sponsor on the left rear spoiler upright? Better go out and put a pre-order down on it!

Genius.

When I bought the 1.18 model of Dick's 1980 Falcon, I got a 1.18 'rock' with it. Free !!

Was it Dicky boy who collected the Roo that time down conrod, that was the best ! may of been a Holden ? but the Roo sure got spun out.

Think it was Dicky boy who lost it down conrod doing like three 360's that looked great in that s box turbo 4 rubbish.

He hit the rock in blue XD in Reid Park (between the Cutting and Sulman Park, just before "under the tree").

Greens Tuff XE he speared into the trees exiting Forrest's elbow.

Spinning down Conrod I thought it was one of the Bathurst sprint races in 90s and his Shell Falcon rear wing broke on Conrod sending him into a spin and bouncing off walls?

Did he do something similar in Sierra?
