Next month guy comes in again and asks for another hi end kit,I start idle chit chat with the guy while the sales guys grabbing his kit.Turns out the guy is a engineer for an oil company and a recovering alcoholic and by building these kits during the months he has been sober for 4 years,says he had to give a bunch away because he was running out of room in his garage,also said ha has never ever ran run,but he gets to see his kids since he quit drinking and really enjoys building them.

That guy deserves kudos for handleing his addiction and for the happiness he brings to whom he donates them too. Nice story.

Dear God...
Needed a hobby to occupy himself? Never heard of Airfix then I take it
And Mikak- Jesus christ dude, no wonder its hard to find UE setbacks and Lightning chassis, you've got them all hanging on your wall! Stop being so selfish and sell all but one of each of your chassis/trucks- you could make an absolute fortune and free up valuable wall space at the same time!
Im serious though...

Airfix? You mean the plastic models, right? Maybe the guy hates glue? I know I hate glue together models. Sticky fingers?!!!!
I like rc cause I can tinker and put things together and then go out and actully run it down the street at 40mph! Not sure if I would put these together if I was just going to stare at them...
I would put an add in the newspaper saying that I would put together funiture, etc for free if I was that bored... People could buy the stuff and drop it off at the house, then come back for it when I was done. Dunno, I hardly have the time to type this gibberish...

Sticky fingers eh? Guess we all know what you get upto in your spare time...
I like the furniture idea though, I've been helping my little sister & her boyfriend move into their new flat/ apartment and have been assemblign flatpack furniture and putting up blinds for them. Strangely enjoyable...

Nice collection but come on, really ?
I have 10 trucks and absolutely struggle to find time to maintain more than 2-3 during the week after a weekend of running and I only work PT ?
I'll bet he's a lonely guy ?

Linc, Your like a predator lying and waiting to pounce on a unsuspecting helpless creature. Nice job of spinning that around and making it sound dreadfully disgusting.
Hippy, thanks for making Lincs day with the suspiciously homo sounding post
