Thwack is a fine word.

Gonna give the old speckled hen a bit of a 'thwacking' a bit later.

I've got an aberlour 12 that may give me a thwacking later Ron.

Looking forward to reading this. No doubt will be a reminder of a time before we became a nation of pussies... present company excepted.

Building these with the boys tomorrow, bit of fun I think

I was thinking about these the other week, there used to be a shop in Newcastle where we would go to look at them about 1989/90 

I always liked the Mud Blaster, Monster Beetle etc, other lad liked the faster stuff, never got one though, always remember thinking they looked a lot of work to put together 

The Grasshopper is a classic

Yeah I put a video on to build one and the guy said whatever you do buy the bearings upgrade rather than plastic bushes, so that killed that for a minute. As a kid I got bought a tamiya astute , spent day or two building it with my dad, later stripped it all down for a service and my Oldman told my mother that's the end of that then. But I had it going again that day, fond memories...
