After a very long time i went on ebay. Never bought anything in the past but recently started using paypal for my 1:1 car parts like wheels etc.

Its so bloody addictive..!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I check ebay for Tamiya parts all the time. So i want & some tempted to buy even if i dont want it. Ooooooo so tempting ..................!

My all time favorite kit to own for ols time sake. Majority of them are kits i wanted as growing up as a kid.

1- Team Associated original gold tub RC10.
2- Tamiya Porsche 1/12 scally rally car. (Dont know the code)
3- Tamiya Hilux 58086 (The same chassis as the Kingcab) Have a complete running chassis with lot od spares already. But just want a NIB.
4- NIB Tamiya FF01 & FF02
5- NIB Original Blackfoot.
6- NIB Kyosho Optima Mid 4wd buggy.

When i look at the gallery section of www.tamiyaclub.com members. With there 100 plus kit collection. I feel my 13 car collection is SAD.

BTW Note to self.................... not much is possible when u have a 3 year old son (who also loves cars ...i know its in the blood) . All my stuff is so well hidden (in 5 different locations) that sometimes i cant find what i'am looking for.

To an extent that when i'am looking for something i find somthing else that i never knwo i had.

Need a bigger house..........! With a basement

I have a 'MAN CAVE' ...my spare room is where my gym kit, XBOX360 and RC cars reside....

I will keep an eye out for your kits, I know a lot of the guys on Tamiyaclub, and have been a member there for about 5 years. Sometimes they offer things to me that otherwise end up on ebay...

Man room ...Man cave................absolutely guys. This is what i so desperately need!
Tired of hiding stuff from my kid & wife. I want a work bench with pin baords , power supply , air compressor, mini fridge, sofa cum bed, posters................some day....some day.

I recall an episode from 'Everybody Loves Raymond' when he too craved for a man cave. Then ones of his friends tell him about 'self storage' where u can rent a garage sides room as well. In one of the shots they show that every one of those 'self storage' is used as a guys den for the passions. One chap converted it into a Star Trek shrine....! Funny......

A good man cave is important. In Australia we have shed's where we store all our important things and do 'stuff'. I miss my shed.

I found this vid on drive arabia. It's not about a man cave, but maybe it can give you man cave dreamers some hope...... don't give up on your dream, one day you will get there.

The real dream of any car enthusiast is to have a home with a garage. This 87-year-old man from Belgium manages to have just that, even if his car is just an old Fiat Panda.

i too have an underground cavern where my 1971 Challenger, Baja 5t, weights and RC Seaplane sleep, although the challenger does seem to call my name every 3 hours i always seem to be tinkering late into the night......i think its calling right now

my EP kits get the comfort of my cupboard in my room, hmmmm........man cave rules!!!!!!

u open the door and u get this overwhelming blast of Gasoline smell, sooo good

I said Ebay is bad.......................i went a lil trigger happy with the Ebay bid button. Being sure that someone will out bid me................................guess what. Iam a new owner of a mint Tamiya FF01...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not NIB but a runner.


But wait ...................i bid on 6-7 others cars ......................ouch....a FF02 , Evolution TB5 , TA04 mid motor , HPI RS4 PRO3 , Kingcab , vintage RC10 (gold tub) , Kyosho Optima Mid.

Someone...help me.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Just cut of my net connection.
