Come on LARS you need to call up Tamiya HQ and complain until we all get a Willy's Honda wheeler!!

Well, I'm sorry to say that me and "Tamiya" are not best friends atm... Ref the download section being offline. Still working on it, though.

Just need to order a minimum of 500 wheelers and tam do they (oupps how much??????)

Of course, now my NIP vintage grey bumper is now worth a lot less than it was

Jonny I'm interested by it because I broke my holiday buggy one when I took it

I really wasn't planning on selling it - unless you can't wait a few months for spare ones from the "Fighter Buggy" to become available & want to make me a ridiculous offer

I repaired mine with the mix cyano+soda bicarbonate it looks like to be ok but it is not in a good state. Thanks for your proposition Jonny I'll wait.

sounds to me like Jonnys ''footballers'' bank roll has treated him very well....lol
I just cant help adding my 2cents;
The guys who have a hobbyshop[and post on ebay] I always buy parts from have black ones NIP for like $12.
My offer to you for your grey bumper is $15?!
OR better yet, my birthday is in like 10days....YOU could just GIVE it to me?!

I really dont want your bumper, just messing with you.

BTW- Back like 12-15 years ago you almost couldn't give a grey SRB bumper away[even on ebay].
EVERYONE just had to have the ohhh sooo rare BLACK/ late production front SRB bumpers.
So life is just not fair is it?
If you just wait long enough, all these Tamiya parts will be el cheapo at some time in the near future.
But there never will be a full end to all madness;
I just saw some guy wanting $1000us plus $95 shipping[!!!!!!} for a old COX/ kyosho Scorpion on ebay!?
WOW no shame in HIS GAME!

Thanks LARS for at least being willing to listen to us Honda wheelers-whiners. Tamiya HQ needs a booting in the behind and re-re a kool new Honda city wheeler!

Fusion Hobbies have the Fighting Buggy listed at 269 GBP with a release date of 6th October (www.fusionhobbi...ting-buggy), Modelsport have it at the same price but with a due date of 31st October (www.modelsport....cts/386941).

TBH that's very much at the bottom end of what I thought the UK retail price would be, I wouldn't have been overly surprised if it opened at 299 or even 319
