As usual, it must be the hoarders. It could be someone we know, someone we don't. Eventually like many months ago been trying to say it. Last resort to getting toys is through criminal minds. Next thing you know, they might be highjacking delivery trucks, use clubs names in indegenious ways, scamming, faking, i bet they even cut out shipment papers so the stuff lands in some place so they could steal it. Sure you think this is over the top. But a person posing as Mattel staff to look at stocks? You tell me!! -

The truck not leaning left or right. Its totally resting on the wheels. So the truck is always on emergency brake! Maybe they should print "J-Turn special" on the card. hahaha. I think its going to be a paper weight already. The tooligan...... i dunno la. Its rolls nicely. But the scratch makes me wanna put more scratches so the tools look really worn out like real world. Maybe take the car to HWCM races?

I have included the pictures of the 2 duds i got. Look at thered arrows. Ice cream trucks back wheels are scraping the fender! See how the truck is lowered backwards! The front rolls ok. The back.... lets say you roll the guy, the truck would do a J turn for you! I took it out. Roll front and back a few times. Try to drift it. The the body got finger prints. So i used my t-shirt top clean it. Guess what? The chrome came off!!! I thought it was dirt, so a little pressure on the dark spot..... more chrome came off!!! Wahlao!!

Hey dun rely on computers to drive for you la! Even the most high end R35 GTR also crash. It all boils down to the driver. Anyway you should hear inside you when to stop. I learn to listen and can stay out of trouble all the time. Most people know, its just they think its nothing they could not overcome. How wrong they are. The best ESP is human senses. Not some traction control. I would like ti say if you have a 200hp car on the road any size and make, it is better to drive slow. Most cars on the road is just slightly over 1 ton and only 80hp is needed to get them moving very fast. But if you ask me, a Merc 270D is pretty awesome when going uphill. The torque is addictive.

Alamak! Its the opposite for me. I'm not secure in a FWD car. hahaha. But once you driven RWD everyday (like me 10 years) you would never want to to go back to FWD. Cannot deny that FF cars have a safety net in the form of understeer. While we RWD cars would have to feel the lost traction at the rear with our butts and steering angle. Also sometimes its great fun to know that most FF cars cannot turn into corners as fast a RWD. hahaha. Rebored to 1.6 eh? I remembered my friend wanted to do a 1.8 bottom end swap from another mitsu while retaining the head. Just to pass visual inspection. Dunno la if he did it. But his car is fast though. Get a FR Merc la. Merc is good!!! Maybe the only way to drive slow is to get a vintage Merc.
