Hey gang! Well, the wife and I just completed our M04L Volkswagens! I did the building, but she did most of the decorating. I think they turned out pretty nice. This is her first attempt at owning/painting a hobby-level car. She did a great job. Here are some pics:

My Car: I was going for a vintage Trans Am racer look.

Her Car: She was looking for something a bit more girly.

We are going to be racing these down at SoCal raceway on Friday nights. Looks like it is going to be a fun racing season.

:D

Those are TOO cool. Wish I could get my wife to play with RC cars, but I guess I can't complain since she lets ME play with them.

I have my VW built but am trying to paint it up as the EMPI car Dan Gurney won the VW-only race at the Bahamas Speed Week in '63 and '64.

You going Old Skool Scott? What a surprise! Not.....

Good boy, thats what I like to see.

More like PRE-Skool...

Geek,


Nice.......

Very nice....

Ha! whenever it comes to decals I always get my gf to do it! She is so patient - so I got her a mini in the end:

No...I believe the point was you've already been "with" men, that you need to try a woman next time.

I know the Civic body from HPI will fit a MO3m, but will any of the other "Mini" bodies from HPI fit in the same way? It seems like that mini rover body would work since its made for the same whelbase car and everything. Just a thought. Lemme know if you have any experience with any of these bodies on an M length mini :)

lol! :lol: LOL yah, and minicrapper, not the blow up kind. lol ;)


here's the update for tonight.... yah, i know im slow.. with my son and
wife that's expecting my 2nd son any day now, i can't put in as much time
as i want. (im not complaining!!!) :D

car runs pretty well. i need to get some better dampers next time around
though. :) gonna work on the body tomorrow. :nod:

I think this answers that question

hey andrew.. yes, the HPI mini fits the M03 fine. i usually run that one, unless going to TCS where the real one is required.
