So im going to tell this story exactly how it played out...... at least thats what my girlfriend thinks.......
As I stated prior to buying the Pennzoil R34, I was 'banned' from wasting money on R/Cs, at least for 6 months. That went out the window when the Pennzoil came up......
However, truth be told, Ive only ever 'understood' and wanted the Touring Cars from the 90s when it comes to Tamiya. I started this hobby in 1994, with an M-01 Mini Cooper, and I lusted over the Rally cars and Japanese Touring Cars in Beatties and the Tamiya Catalogues..... Now Im in a better position financially, mainly because Im no longer 8 years old, Ive been doing that. But other than the Hotshot, that my friend had handed down from his Dad. I knew next to nothing about anything Tamiya did in terms of off roaders. However, on my Tamiya journey, I've realised that theres some really special off road Tamiya's that exist. So as Ive been part of various Facebook groups and forums, Ive ended up wanted some of these off roaders, and have been lucky enough to obtain an Avante Black, Egress Black, Astute 2022 and a BBX. For some reason, the Top Force Evo stuck out, and it became a model of interest. Id been eyeing them up brand new.... Recently, I was also lucky enoough to nab an RC10CC, from my LHS, on the first run. I got the text message it at had arrived and straight away went to pay and pick it up. I got home and was like, hmmm. I dont have any emotional attachment to Associated, or the RC10, or even RC Racing. So I stuck it on eBay before Xmas, for a not stupid but higher than RRP price, and truth be told forgot about it. It sat sealed in my collection. Randomly, I then got the notification it had sold, for a decent price, nothing crazy, but hey that wasnt really my intention to profit massively. So off it went. Now back to the Top Force Evo. I noticed one for sale on a facebook group. I never buy off Facebook unless I personally got and collect. However, some beer's may have been drank, and I may have struck a deal for a 2021 Top Force Evo, built but never used. I feel it was a good deal, so off I sent the funds. Today this arrived.
Its beautiful! Ill get better pics, but its all there.
Now thats the story my Mrs heard. Truth is, I bought this on Sunday, after a few beers, in Pizza Hut for her nephews 13th birthday........ I then lucked out, because earlier today, someone bought my RC10CC that I forgot I even had for sale on eBay and saved my bacon! So the one in one out policy worked, and I even made a little bit of money. MAN MATHS!!
