Has anyone got a contact email address for HPI Racing in the USA? Want to take advantage of the buy one get one free model offer but as I live in the UK I cant get the order page to accept my order. Am happy to pay extra for shipping but sent them an email a month ago and didnt get a response. They cant have all been at the beach that long....

Finally got a response from Hpi and they wont supply to the UK so will wait for the Autoart version of 06/07 Impreza which will probably be as good and certainly cheaper!

Been busy buying Ixo recently their Nissan 240RS knocks Sparks into a cocked hat also added the San Remo Pond Sunbeam Lotus, Panizzi Fabia WRC, and also the special Japan Lancia owners San Remo 89 Delta 16v. From Trofeu/Minipartes also got the Makinen Lancer Evo1v Portugal winner.

Advance news from Spark is that they are going to release a Mazda 323 Group A car and also a Nissan 200SX and Toyota Supra which are going to fill the gaps nicely.

I am hoping to get a few in from HPI as I have been onto them about supplying me

I take it that is the UK arm Mark? They were a bit retiscent about supplying me and referred me back to my normal wholesalers. Am not sure I could shift enough of their units at the retail price they are pitching thier models at in the UK. I'm think the extra £10 or so premium over Autoart etc may not be viable to all but the diehard collector.

Maybe

Not 100%; unfortunately gave the wrong info to the builder and so the roof vent is incorrect and not the 92 but the 90/1 twin style; but i'm happy with how its come out anyway given its not readily available in any way shape or form

I took delivery this week of a couple of the last models from IXO.

Marcus Grönholm - Rally Finland 2006


Sébastien Loeb - Rallye Monte Carlo 2007


Both are excellent.
