I agree-- how about a Morris Major-- anybody ever see one of those? I have been a Mini Coop fan for years but I think the new one is ugly

Kyosho did this model of the Honda Civic in a M-size chassis about 15 years before the M01 came out. I forget what the decals looked like,but if i remember correctly they were very similar to the Civic above. The Kyosho chassis is even Fwd. Nice car but a little hard to find these days.

All of these bodies have been made except for the Mark II Supra, The Toyopet was from Toyo Tuning,and the others are 1/10th from ABC.
You can get the ABC bodies pretty easy.The 510 YOu have to wait a while as the kit just got released today,and then the body will be out later.

I've seen one of those Kyosho CRX kits before. A know a Honda memorabilia collector who had one up until recently when he eBayed it... NIB too, unreal.

Another killer M-03 kit would be a '90 model VW GTi 16V with G60 wheel arches ->

Geeze guys can please NOT include the pics again when you 'quote' someone from a previous post..

3 copies of the same pics on the one page really slows us people without hi-speed net down to a crawl! Arrrgh!

Hey, quote means quote, okey ?

And once the pictures are already downloaded inside your harddisk, it doesn't mean it will be download another 3 times for the same pictures. Internet Explorer knows that.

My choice for a new M-Chassis release would be the Honda Civic del Sol.

I'm sorry that my computer knowledge isnt as good as yours... All I know is lots of pics slows the page load down for me, thats all I'm saying.

Gee dude, lighten up a bit....

I really like the Golf/GTi in any form. I agree and think this should be made for an M-chassis.
THe Kyosho M chassis car chassis`s are pretty easy to find but the body shell is very hard to get.
