[cmt]

Maplin are offering a Remote Control MINI for £10 (usually £20).link is http://www.maplin.co.uk/specialoffers/itemdetails.php?ItemID=5337 but you'll have to copy and paste it to your browser as they don't accept direct links
Just thought I'd point this out in case anybody missed this offer first time round. One for the kids ?

I got one of the Nikko ones from Maplin a while back, it was buy one get one free.

Not the same as that though.... anyone ordering one?

I ordered one just after I saw that message. Printed out the page, went up to the Science department of my college, spoke to the head of science, gave him the sheet & asked him to order it for me. (Goes on the end of term bill... without vat (shhhhh))

Lots and lots of fun

The only downside is i've drained the batteries twice now doing handbrake turns and 180's etc (everything I don't do in my real MINI)

Yeah right...

I got mine last thursday, only had a play with it for about half an hour because it was a belated birthday present to my friend, who's dying for a mini.

Funny thing was, mine came with a left pull! Although the fix was a quick adjustment of a white lever thing under the front, unlike the months of waiting for a fix for its bigger brothers!!!

Oh yeah, and its a monster with batteries. Cost me £6 to get the batteries, takes 6 AAs inside and one 9 Volt on the remote. As it was a present, couldn't use my rechargables.
