Hey Guys,

Long ago, I had the Tamiya R/C Rothman's 959 (it's still at my parent's house), but on my way home from a bike ride, I was passed by someone driving the very car or at least a clone of it. I wish I was able to snap a pic! This was on Ralston Ave in Belmont at about 1:30pm yesterday.

Anyone in the Bay Area know about this car?

I had that same RC car, I think it was 1//12 scale.

LOL, I have the exact car that I began to restore last year. I now need to paint the body!

I have the Tamiya R/C model too! I also have the 1/43 Minichamps model of the car complete with full sponsorship decals. That's something that's hard to do in this age of no cigarette cars or models. I don't smoke, never have and I don't condone it but leave my models alone!

Anyhow, this clone was at last year's Lime Rock Vintage Festival. Didn't take note of where it was from.
I think the factory museum has the actual Paris-Dakar winning car.
