Just nu längtar jag efter snö! Jag ska åka Engelbrektsloppet den 12′e februari och har inte åkt skidor på 2 år. Jag springer, cyklar och simmar ca 5 timmar i veckan, men jag måste ju i alla fall få till några skidpass innan loppet.

Planen är att göra bort klassikern i år liksom minst ett triathlon. Vilket vet jag inte ännu. Stockholm kanske?

Hursomhelst, vill du följa min träning och läsa om mina åsikter när det gäller kost, kika på fettdrift.se.

Hej svejs!

These were the cars I owned in order, all Kyosho:

1. Pegasus
2. Rocky
3. Land Jump Integra *
4. Turbo Optima Mid
5. Peugeot 405 *

* GP, mostly trouble…

I had the most fun with the Turbo Optima Mid, no doubt. Until I got that one, my dream car was the Turbo Optima and I still to this day think it looks quite awesome. It has a unique stance.

Anyways, I’m not just writing about the past here. I have got a crazy idea. This is long term so you know. I want to get me a Turbo Optima Mid in mint condition, somehow. Probably not by paying huge amounts of moneys for a new in box (NIB) on ebay, but more restoring or even sourcing separate parts.

Turbo Optima Mid

I found a great vintage rc optima site here: http://theoptimahouse.blogspot.com/, and from there on I found the manual here: http://www.retromodelisme.com/liste_manuel.html.

(I had this box with manuals and everything, stored in my boy room until a couple of years ago when it was thrown out. I should have saved it…)

I have started an excel doc listing all the parts needed to build a complete car. Many parts are available as originals or replicas on ebay. Tires, bodys and decals are replica made by enthusiast and can be ordered brand new.

Long term, as I wrote. In case my wife reads this…

Bye for now

It will be messy and change a lot the coming days/weeks.

Welcome back later!
