Love it or hate this was a awesome race car. Just killed the opposition! And I have always been a fan of Jim Richards. The car is based on the Bathurst winning car that Richards/Skaife drove to victory. Got boo'ed by the Holden, Ford fans and the rest of the opposition as they walked onto the podium to collect there trophies. Jim Richards got the microphone and said to the crowd "You are all a pack of bastards". Body started life as a beaten up AFX Tomy blue Calsonic Skyline. Prepped and paint red. Decals are scaled down 1/24 or 1/32 plastic model decals. They did not fit and had to be modified. Next job is some 5 spoke white rims to match the wheels on the real car. Happy with the results after this first attempt.

great job Davo!
finally theres a Davo special born! 1st one davo looks great! hi to everyone out there and lets hope more join in aye, my names Jase (whoateallthepies) im a good mate of Davos and he let me know about this place where us kiwi blokes can come and talk about our love of slotcars, good on you Swivel for strating this place up! im like Davo and are into my cars, i only collect and also custom Aurora AFX cars, im not into Tomy AFX or any other HO cars, not saying theres anything wrong with other brands but only Aurora AFX spin my wheels, i have a 1960s Aurora track (pre AFX) layout and will share some pics later on down the track, cheers jase

Hey Jase,
Hahaha, yep how long has it taken me to finally get my shit(Can I swear on here?) together and do that Davo special. Already thinking about the next one! Some pic's of your track would be good. Probably changed since last time I saw it.

LOL. You can swear (but in reason). Only Mat and myself look after this site.
It's run from my shop in Hastings (host myself). Nice to see more AFX users.

If you want anything (Ideas etc) just ask.

Also I run my own computer business (So ask before looking on TM for PC parts) LOL. Or help with problems as well.

Have fun and treat it as it was yours, I don't mind
