Minichamps Models
 

No bike this weekend so got dragged off shopping. Despite protesting that a beer garden would be the place of choice.

Anyway pop down to your local Model Zone store (MZ) and they have some Minichamps models at half price or less.

Managed to get a brand new in a box Bostrom 998R 1:6 in WSB 2002 livery that was £70 for less than half.

Nice looking model the Bostrom 998. Got one of those myself.:)

Some of the rare early ones are fetching mad money,£500 for a Corser 1999! Blimey!!

To make sure the paint job is authentic on the 2004 Rizla look out for www.mortgages.tv either side of the screen. That's one of our customers who sponsored them last year, which got us into a couple of races in the Cresecent Suzuki hopsitality. Nice way to be introduced to BSB, first time I'd ever been to a race. Went to Silverstone and then the end of season at Donnington.
