New to the hobby, plus an interesting link

Hi all,
I am totally new to 1/4 scale. I am 32 and have grown up on Tamiya and Kyosho stuff. I have a few old Tamiya and Kyosho NIB kits, that are dear to me. I picked up a 1/4 CEC electric car on ebay for $300 about a month ago and I am working on cleaning and redoing it. Needless to say, it is very cool.
I just bought a 1/4 New Era car from Theresa, aka Michael, They are very, very nice people, spent a lot of time talking with me and sending photos. This guy has a lot of stuff! He is working on changing his shop up and does custom bike stuff as well. He just doesn't know much about the stuff he has. Heck, I don't either, but he was very upfront and honest. I am planning on getting the New Era and breaking it down, redoing it, etc.
Here is a cool link for those who have not seen it. A 1/3 Ferrari 312, this is absolutely nuts! You must see this!

Take care everybody!
