Since it's not the best weather to be out playing around with cars, what is everyone doing this winter to keep them busy/sane?
I've started playing with RC carshaha.
Just got my Renault 5 Turbo all set up to start racing next week.
And my main project at the moment... RC drifting! It's amazing fun
So what are you up to?
Cool! A pal of mine is well into his RC cars, he races them weekly all over the place. He brought one to ND with me last year. I carshed it
I'm not up to anything. I need to fit new rubber fuel lines to the car as they're perished. I need to buy and fit a new radiator also. I might swap the TCD leads over to advance to ignition timing ala cup style.
I keep looking at my remote control cars but too busy with the normal cars, I will get round to sorting it out, all rebuilt just need to sort out some controls for it. Then put together the other car and possible with the amount of water which is happening lately, see if I can get the speed boat working
Into my r/c cars too, but just for fun not racing.
Also purchased this 1988 kit to built as an when i get time away from work/mrs/kids etc...
I will just be working and raising a family.
I have no idea how you guys gets the time for all of these fun hobbies! Im slightly envious.
The latest thing to take a slice of "me time"
ive got an eb4 thunder tiger but needs a service
Got 2x Schumacher Fusion 21 and parts of one for spares, one has lots of hop ups on it.
Tell me about it! It'll probably only take a couple of hours to do what I want to do with the car and even that time is rushed!Originally Posted by Rob1980
Yep.Tell me about it! It'll probably only take a couple of hours to do what I want to do with the car and even that time is rushed!Thats how I managed to spill oil all over my engine while doing an oil change! The wife was nagging at me out of the window as I had been "too long" outside. I turned around to tell her to shut up and took my eye off of what I was doing!
My life is a mirror imagine of yours!Yep.
May God have mercy on your soul.My life is a mirror imagine of yours!
Nice to know others are the same! I sometimes go insane when I look at how much free time others have!
When I used to have it myself I look back and think how much i wasted it doing nothing on the sofa
And indeed how little I appreciated it.
My only option now is to work through the night on my car. I literally can't fit it in at any other time, I crawl into bed at gone 2am then I'm up at 6.
Should have kept it in my pants!
Lol yep family and kids makes you relise there is not enough hours in the day doh
I used to own a drift car years ago the money you can spend on these cars is mental.
Loving the skyline mate that was the best shape in break life for drifting
Two kids a job a mrs and a 5... No time spare at all here as I type iv got a crown on my head from daughter one while burping no2 waiting for dinner then go in the garage once there in bed and then bath.. It's all hardcore stuff going on here
Got a 1959 BSA C15 star which is halfway through a nut and bolt restore.
1 owner (my grandad) and 6000 miles from new. BSA parts are cheaper and more readily available than Renault 5 spares- the whole restore owes me less than £700 so far.
