Thought would post some of "our" fleet, well not really our trucks they belong to the missus really.
Erica is my fiance and I have been lucky to find a lady that is as fanatical about RC as I am , she currently owns about 30 cars and trucks. She lets me drive them in return for keeping them running. Its not all great news with an other half that likes RC, my once expensive hobby is now even more expensive :mad:.

I thought I would post up some photos of her trucks, hope this is he right section, so far she has an Aeromax which she built and I painted (she chose the colours and scheme), Globe Liner (bought very cheaply), Scania 470 (I built and painted but she chose the colours and scheme) and Knight Hauler (my old truck I gave to her which I built and painted). She also has a box trailer, tanker trailer, 2 flat bed trailers and a bruder low loader. My wallet doesnt fair so well as she would like all Tamiyas trucks and she wants them all have to have the MFU too.

I know they dont compare to some of the amazing builds on here (Tamiya Cowboys trucks just blow me away) but we like them and enjoy running them. We have some plans for changes to a few and I need to start on the bruder low loader for her. Anyhow here are the photos (must get some better ones sometime.)

It was taken at a meet a group of us had, North West Nutters, at Wrexham Model Car Clubs on road track.. no organised racing we just took all our cars and trucks down and ran them round. Lots of fun as most of our meets are off road so gave us a chance to give the trucks a proper shake down. Unfortunately I managed to put her Aeromax on its side, the Aero was ok but the Tanker had a few scratches (The trailer clipped a corner marker and it rolled over too easily (I have some lead now to put under rails to try lower the c of g)

Lucky man! In more ways then one. I wouldn't complain about having to spend more money in the hobby, if I had a good woman to share it with! :D
