Today is my last day in the office before we move home. Very Happy

We will spend the rest of the week packing 4.5 yrs worth of crap into boxes. Confused

Hard to believe that our stint in HK is at an end and also that we have been away from Oz for so long.

We fly out for Oz on Sun 22 Dec and will be settling in the Central Coast (NSW) area.

I look forward to catching up with many of you guys and gals back in Oz in 2003. It will be an awesome year for XRCC and other 4b comps. 2003 will certainly be the year of the tube.

Feb 2003 will also see the birth of our first child, Bela Mai Kennedy. I can't wait to be a Dad. 8)

If you want / need to contact me while I am relocating, my email address is JK@mudcow.com

Cheers,

AWESOME JK!

I'm happy for you in all aspects! Hope you have a safe trip home. I'll catch up with you some time next year. I'll bring my junk up there and we'll definitely go for a drive.

The MudCow is electric.

The "petrol" R/Cs are actually nitro-methanol... how long have you been into RC?

Now I know you are BSing... There is no way a Blazing Star would climb up stairs... I'll be happy to eat my words if you prove it with a vid.

What's your story, you just taking the piss or are you for real???

BTW, I have a Blazing Star / Manta Ray sitting on my shelf.

Yeah, I got bored with it's (lack of) offroad ability so I turned it into a 2WD onroad thrash thing with a 12T motor, and 1:8 scale tyres.

Now it flies and is a lot of fun.
