Touring Car

[935k3]

Picked this up at our local Hobbytown USA fo $30. That's actually cheap for Tamiya's newer re-issues. The decals in the new realeases are better too. I used to race this one on NEED FOR SPEED. This one is complete with engine detail.

That's cool, I haven't seen one of those in a while.

I posted this for you Nick cause I know you like these cars. I paid for it with some the money I got selling models at the club meeting(times are getting tough moneywise).At least I know I will build this one. I built one when they first came out but it and allot of my older builds got destroyed(too long a story). My newer builds are better anyway.

Here is the Jaegermeister version I do have built and still have in one piece.

That is a sweet build! I have been eyeing the new re-release too. I love all of those DTM cars, but wouldn't it be nice if they re-released some of the BTCC cars too? Again, that J-meister car is awesome! Thanks for sharing.

This is Tamiya we're talking about. At some point they'll re-release everything. And charge $20 more for it.

I have built all the Alfas and they're great kits. Fun to build.

Jeez Brendan, shhhhhh!

I feel honored and that's why you called me a cheap skate and tried to get me to buy something with NO money at the meeting.

No no, we got time, please tell

OH my god I love that! One of my favorite paint schemes and man I can't get enough of that exhasut! And in one piece, impressive.

but wouldn't it be nice if they re-released some of the BTCC cars too? Again, that J-meister car is awesome! Thanks for sharing.

That is the stupidest question I have ever heard! HECK YEAH!!! I can actually afford them too, instead of paying $200 for a Studio27 and such.

Nick,

I forgot I even said that(the cheapskate thing). I just got too many bills these days and paint and supplys cost enough, so I just don't buy many new kits. I am thankful for the pile I have, If I could just live about 50 more years I might get them done(LOL). BTW Nick GET THAT AUDI FINISHED!

Bills suck, oh I can't wait!

Actually I started on that Kei Office S15 drifter

[935k3]

Nick, I'm getting old, you have to help me, what for gosh sake is a Kei Office S15 drifter. It sounds like a drift car sponsored by an Office supply store. I'll stick to Martini's and Jaegermeisters(Burp!)

[Nick F40]

KEI Office is an aftermarket suspension comapny founded by the drift king, Keiichi Tsuchiya, hence the Kei. Not sure on the office part though His trade mark color was Jade Green, his helmet suit and everything was green so that is why the car is green. It competes in the D1 Grand Prix

I still love those schemes though!
