Hi Dan,
I've tried emailing you but with no success.
I need to get my car in the post to you THIS WEEK, to make sure it reaches you from the UK.

You mentioned you wanted wheels added into the parcel and I've not heard back from you. I was hoping to post tomorrow but I will hold until Friday 12th.

Can you email me your requirements asap please otherwise you'll miss the post.

Kind regards,
Colin

Did they come in a baby blue transporter, too?
Covering all the basis with chassis diversity - are team tactics allowed?

All these arrivals are looking so sweet! and unique! I was worried about mine not showing up (shipped 1/18 from Massachusetts) but I checked my Customs # and it showed it at Canadian Customs on 1/26....and expected delivery in 3-7 business days....so it will get there!

Nice JT! the circus comes to town...and you beat me on delivery. NIce slide out feature on the box. My info still shows my entry 'in transit' in Canada somewhere. Jeez.

I just checked USPS.com and it said delivered Monday, so I came here and...there it is!

The circus has come to town, (I have been hoarding that box for years, glad i had a car that would fit. Had to grind pockets in foam ore to hod rear wheels and lower body so fin would clear.

Brian, I shipped by International Flat Rate - not so flat in my own outer box: cost $34, :cry: :roll: I reopened a USPS account and paid/printed my own label and data. I wonder if that helped speed delivery?

As I’ve said before, love the variety and innovation in both forward and classic materials!

Thanks Dan for queeing up the racers!
