I was really hoping to get one of these as a kid.

This but minus the colour and barbie stickers


It was blue and grey, working rear suspension, working doors and a sticker stereo. It was eye candy for me as a child and for some stupid reason nearly 20 Years later, I still hold a slight grudge against my parents for not getting me one.frown

I have a mint flight deck, thanks for reminding me! a roll of fishing line and you can fight cross winds across the full length of the garden if your tree/fence is high enough!!!!

That is Sunday sorted for me! cross winds and snowy carrier landings!

I'd been asking for a camera for longer than I could remember. A cheapy 126mm would have been fine.

One Christmas, eventually, a package of the appropriate size appeared under the tree.

Imagine my excitement when I opened it to discover... a manicure set. banghead
