i had this one...
i remember my cousin bought it for me from WHsmiths in richmond high street in 78 or '79
it was totally incredible at the time

ahh, i remember the frog changed it all
it was mostly plastic so didn't appear good quality but in fact it was much more robust and lasted far far better. It spelt out the demise of the rough rider, the baja buggy and the Super Champ which I had. It was near the top of the range for its time but it was actually terribly flawed because all those brittle metal wishbones kepy craking into pieces at the slightest provocation.

How can Death only have a killing power of 95?

cos Thor can give Death a good shoeing:
