What's that I hear? You want some more?

**Peter Jones** · 24-02-2007, 04:16 PM

Still not enough?!

How's that for rare? Anyone else got a Passat Variant?

Oh! - almost forgot these ones......

Hmmm that looks familar. Seems like everyone's got one of these.

Last one for now.

That's about it for the watercooled stuff. My favourite's probably the Tamiya MK1 GTI RC car. Still looking for parts for that if anyone's got any bits lying about.

Enjoy.

Not for sale!

These are pretty hard to come by, It's taken about two years to find enough bits to get it this far. I'm still searching for a proper bumper and an unmolested chassis. Here's the stats from www.tamiyaclub.com

If you must have one for yourself there's a company in the UK making MK1 Golf and scirocco shells to suit the Tamiya M03 chassis. see www.kamtec.co.uk or their ebay store for details.
