Ok i think i might have to get your address and come dribble on that beauty, could be there in an hour!!

at the end of the day in 10 years it maybe worth 60x what you paid or it might be 60x less!!!

i say go with your heart and make sure what you paid is what you get out of it in enjoyment and satisfaction, no matter how that maybe....

Went to a meeting at the weekend and used it... I was having so much fun driving it this is the only photo I managed to take!

But at least now its dirty!

[tc1cat]

My 1st thoughts were to keep it on the shelf until this last pic. It looks much better in the dirt!! Use it, enjoy it, and then repaint it the way you want!

[Spliffy]

when you do repaint, may i suggest you leave some of it gold just to let people know that it is the special addition version even if it is just small details??.

but **** it does look good in the dirt!!

[Brel]

now that I have seen a picture of it in the dirt I say leave it gold

[elliot330]

Cheers all for the comments, I now have a sticker set for it, so that will change the look a little, plus I intend to paint the exhaust and air cleaner black and pretty much leave it like that...

[Brel]

the bling machine would look better with the air cleaner and exhaust stack painted black

Elliot what make and model radio gear are you using for your tracked loading shovel and have you mixed the pump in to set it to run as soon as the sticks are moved

[jack van]

you could make some new track and a bucket then use it
