OT: RC Car

[pb3vr6 at yahoo.com (Tonee Northam)]

Tonite after my 6 day stretch working in MKE, I came out of the new Sears Essentials to see a Elmhurst cop sitting at the far end of the parking lot relatively close to a guy holding a RC remote.
 
All I heard was a real high pitch whine and a white flash. I got my car and drove down to get a closer look, and this thing was huge!
 
2.5ft long by 1.75ft wide and from talking with the owner and the cop (who was taking radar at the time) 53 mph in appox. 45 feet.
 
Drifting? Definately. Reminded me of Anson's video with the german techno.
 
The cop said that it was faster than my car, well no shit Barney Five, of course it's faster.
 
But from chatting from the owner there only seems to be 5-6 body shells available for that size of RC, I'm just wondering if any VW shells are available.
 
Ellen pointed out a Corrado RC at Treffen this year, but it was half the size of this one.
 
Has anyone seen, or have any info on the larger RC cars because if so, I've found a really big parking lot to run it at and the cops will cheer me on.
 
Thank you for flying Midwest Airlines.
 
Scirocco content: I finally have three days off to find the minor oil leak and pull the bumpers off to rehab. Suspension pending Daun, but he's busy too.
