I work with troubled kids, got one staying atm

Got my Tamiya Blackfoot out in the garden, a few nimhs and hours of fun.

This guy, although not as coordinated as some of the others, has taken advice and built up to it slowly. Not just full-throttle from one accident to the next.

Good to watch!

Walked for two hours through the woods today, following a boy with a toy car. Warm, occasional sun between the trees, nice day out...

...guess who got to carry jackets/jumpers and nimhs?

...and again, Blackfoot has now completed some of the 2012 Olympic Mountain Biking track! As have I (on foot)

Mildly cracked chassis...

I've had a mildly cracked chassis for some years!

Young guy now gone, need some new tyres (and a rest...)

...worth the money!

Different boy, different day. One night at the beach, another for a short walk in the woods, healthy couple of hours out walking (away from the PlayStation!)

Really admire your work VX, I'm just not sure I'm cut out of for it.

Have to say, me and my son spend a fair bit of time in the garden with our Blackfoot. Me, my Dad and Grandad (both now sadly passed on) built it together in the late 80's. Great memories of the past, and building new ones with my own family smile

Thank you!

Unfortunately it's raining, so I'm having to watch Little Mix now...
