Breakdowns don’t happen
often but it's always good
to have a tow truck handy
flat bed and take is somewhere – it’s all the
enjoyment of the real thing without all the
hassles,” Leech says.
With clubs around Australia there is plenty
of scope for new members to join but it is
limited to capital cities at the moment, which
is something Leech is keen to see change in
the future.
“There’s pretty much one club in each
capital city so people can join if they want
to get into it. We’re hoping to have a national
gathering at some point in the future with
all the clubs together but it might be a way
off ith Covid and everything going on,”
he says.
“But we’ve had more people join us while
the Covid lockdowns were in place because
it’s a great hobby to do if you’re stuck inside.”
Surely there’s no better way to indulge
your love of road transport than to build and
customise your all-time ultimate rig in 1:14
scale? Not only is it infinitely less expensive
than doing the same to a full-size truck but
the mental and physical health outcomes
gained from a relaxing hobby like this are
benefits you just can’t buy elsewhere.
Even in a Smurf-sized
world cops still hang out at
the doughnut shop
