I've devised a plan just in case the new solution to the Mustang chipping problem happens again. Back to tried and tested plastic... ;)

Never understood why 300Cs never made an impact on the quarter mile. They move pretty quick with a few mods, despite weighing similar to the Chrysler Building and the aerodynamics of a block of semi-detached houses...

A step back in time to see the first 300C (in a not so subtle paint scheme) in action. It was good for using up dead tyres and motors in a dramatic fashion...

Exactly as I said, patience was no longer there for it. My floor is concrete for a reason.

Had a bit of a win today as my '41 Willys project was completed after 5 days of solid work on it. Very pleased with it, but it still requires a front mounted fuel tank to finish it off properly.

Drives OK on the track, pulls a mean wheelstand thanks to the drop arm on the Midori chassis. :D

Video of the car during it's test run. Remember this track is 4 volts short of the drag track, so it could be even wilder...

Just purchased a second-hand TT-01E car. The Wataru Kobayakawa Porsche GT3-R. Note I stressed the Wataru part of the name (just clearing up any misunderstanding with all the weird otaku people who probably nearly just wet themselves... ;) ).

Just got a new fish tank

I have recently bought a small fish tank but I'm having a problem with green water. I know it's caused by algae but so many sites offer different ways to solve it that contradict each other.

Anyone here with a fish tank had the same problem?

I've used:

In more severe:

But is the water itself green, or the glass?

The water itself is green, I thououghly cleaned everything before setting up the tank. There's even a brand new filter in there

This is a Class 158, now numbering 6 sets of 2 cars in 3 different colour schemes. This was the original release version and my personal favourite.

Studying & composing music & writing poems is my main thing. I wouldn't call it a hobby, since I don't put only my free time into it. It's more like a non profitable occupation for me. I study near-eastern modal traditions and practice a collection of 10-15 insruments varying from guitar/base (and other local "bouzouki-like") to lyras (spike fiddle) flutes (classical & traditional) & percussion.
I've published a book and an album
Obviously GeneRally is a major hobby :D
I do rc racing for the past 20 years (but with large intermitions in between). Been through 1/10-1/12 electric & 1/5 gas :yummy:
I exercise regularly. Played tennis since 3rd grade. The last 3 years I do taekwodo.
I'm capable with hands & I like wine and the (strong) greek spirit called tsipouro/raki.

(@Murano fantastic!!!)

Fingerbikes/boards?

Anyone here into the board game "Formula De"/"Formula D"?

I'm looking for some tiny scale (1:144 scale or below) Le Mans race cars and I can't find anything. At all.
