The R/C Car was from the dealership...

They only had Red/White (white 5 spoke wheels) but I don't know if other colours are available. Nothing a small air brush won't fix anyway

Great fun, rear wheel drive on the kitchen floor, chasing the dog... what more could I want for christmas?

PS, dog teeth scratch the paintwork slightly.

My wife got me an Indi Blue 1:18th scale MINI, and MINI National sent me a MINI Magic 8 Ball, an English Bulldog Statue holding a MINI Billboard in it's mouth, and a MINI ballcap. Oh yeah, got a mouse pad too! Course, it's still work, because they included a training video on how to hire new MINI Motoring Advisors. We're getting closer!!!!!!

Dom, I know what you mean about the dog teeth. But be careful, cause mine runs away scared every time I pick up my RC.

The MINI RC Car is only available in red

I got a Revell "airfix" DIY kit which I am currently making a pigs ear of!!! Oh well, the real thing out of the window makes it all worthwhile

I got one of those T-shirts as well, but with a caricature version of an Indi Blue Mini.

I've got one of these too. December build date and January Delivery

I got a super Maisto model 1:18 Red and white from my dad. That's now the third model car he's bought me. (I should have waited before buying my Cooper, maybe he would have bought my full size one eventually?!)

In exchange I bought him the cuckoo clock. Question is how long it stays on the wall before mum removes it to the garage or the bin!

Santa brought me a Maisto 1/18 scale MINI Cooper in silver and black with five spoke rims, grey and black interior.

I got a Revell kit too - but why are all the parts in green plastic? January delivery is a bit optimistic isn't it - Chilli packs seem to take longer if our experience is anything to go by.

Also got the MINI pen set which are quite cool.

Merry Christmas.

PS What size is the MINI R/C car?? And how much?

Dom · Dec 29th, 2001, 08:55 AM

The R/C car is 1:12 scale, from memory I'd say around 30cm or more long, but don't quote me on that.

I don't know how much, would be rude to ask

There's a US Dollars price on the news section though isn't there? That could be used as a rough guesstimate i s'pose...

My MINI model is almost now complete all parts are more or less in place but the car is still in the bodyshop having a PURE SILVER spray job. My car isnt one of the 1st off the production line but seems to be lacking the height adjustment on the seats

My dealers refuses to take the car back so I will have to live with it

Yurinaut · Dec 31st, 2001, 12:36 PM

Sounds like I got the same Maisto MINI Cooper model and a few others. BRG with a white top and mirrors. Nice looking model. Wish my S was here so I could go out for a drive though!!!

I got a few CD's, does that count? I'll be playing them in my MINI, when it arrives!

I got the rubber floor mats - very useful in this weather - a 1/43 model, and a scratch in the door from some careless idiot.
