Default Vintage RC. Watyagot?

Gday, wondering what sort of awesome vintage stuff some people here have? Just asking because I was interested in starting racing with buggies again with a 1989 RC10 Graphite, and also thinking of getting an FF-01 from a mate with lots of spares etc. (I love front wheel drive, don't ask). If not, FF-02.

Vintage list:

2 x RC10Bs, RC10 Graphite, Schumacher Cat (is that even vintage?), aaand that's it.

What do some collectors have? What of your vintage stuff actually gets used?

I have 5 Tamiya Fox"s and one runner. A new Frog with custom Parma front Dampers with cvd's.
A PB Mini Mustang with 2 speed,
A Kyosho Optima Mid with a Brimod Chassis extension,
A Mid Custom.
A Top Force Evo with Carbon fiber prop shaft and light weight Ball diffs.
A new Hot shot with a H.P suspension kit, 2.2 rims,

Hope to race the Fox this weekend at Ipswitch and give the Frog a run.
