Thunder Valley F1 ®

Welcome Everyone to another update.

The sale of Tamiya 1/12th scale kits for the New Equipment Fund Raiser is going well. We are very close to placing the order for the first of 4 new machines, if we can get the order in within the next week we should be able to take delivery near September 1st.

Another batch of kits is up on ebay, here is one of the auction numbers: 250283970684 Simply copy the number and past it into the search box on ebay. Once the auction comes up select “View Seller’s Other Items” (located on the right hand side) and you can see the rest of the kits up for auction.

I still have three kids in the house to watch and take care of on a daily basis but school is starting in two weeks and I am more than ready to get back to running the business on a full time basis again.

I’m also very excited about the new equipment that will be arriving over the next 4 months and each machine will allow Thunder Valley to reach new heights of technology and move us even further into the forefront of what can be created and offered for all of us F1 model builders.

Thank You to everyone for helping with the New Equipment Fund Raiser Sale, without your help it would not be possible to move the business into these new areas and I apprecaite it very much. I’ll be posting photos of the shop as soon as we get everything settled and the new equipment in here. Hopefully I can do this around October 1st.

Speaking of dates, 2009 marks Thunder Valley’s 20th year. 20 YEARS!!!!! I’ll have to find a picture of the comapny back then so everyone can compare the “Then & Now”. What a difference those pictures will reveal. Right now it looks like 2009 will be a great year for the company and we will really strive to shack-up the future of f1 modeling.

There are more kits to sell and there will be more items to come, just as soon as the kids return to school and I can go through my goodie bins. A list will be published on www.f1m.com one week prior to listing whatever is remaining on ebay. I’ll put an update here each Sunday evening to let everyone know what is going to be listed on f1m each Monday and what will go up on ebay the next Sunday. If you know of anyone who would like any of these kits or be interested in other items that will be coming up for sale please send them a note with links on where to watch.

Kits that are already sold will be shipping each day as fast as I can get them packed up and head to the Post Office. I’ll be asking FedEx to make daily pick-ups for awhile as it is cheaper and it leaves me with more time to pack kits rather than driving clear across the city and back.

An e-Newsletter will be sent in very early September announcing the company’s new approach and direction for the future and my schedule/plans for September & October. If you’d like to be on the e-mailing list please send me a note and I’ll add your e-mail address. I’ll also send an e-Newsletter regarding the additional goodies that will be coming up for sale and this will coincide with the posts here and on f1m.

Both business’ are beginning to ramp up again and it is already getting really busy but as always, please send me a note to: info@thundervalleyf1.com or ring us at: 1.800.318.8541 if I can answer any questions or provide any information.

Kindest Regards,

Hi Everyone,

Yesterday an e-Newsletter was sent out to touch base with everyone and to announce that we are selling a hord of 1/12th scale Tamiya F1 kits to raise some funds to purchase additional equipment. We also have a batch of the Revell 126C2’s and the F2002 and there are some Tamiay Porsche 935’s and 910’s.

We’re finding more and more goodies as we re-organize and perpare to get back to full-time work beginning Sept. 1st. This means we’ll send out another e-Newsletter very soon letting everyone know what else is up for grabs.

We will be closed for a few days in September so our boys can spend a little time with Grandma before we make the long run to Thanksgiving.

Here is the list for the kits up for sale, please contact me via e-mail for prices. The e-mail address is info@thundervalleyf1.com and the phone number is 1-800-318-8541

I also have a few of the Tamiay 1/6th scale Honda 750 Daytona Race Bike kits. Big, but very, very cool.

Even in the terrible August heat and humidity we’re working hard to get the shops split apart, re-organized and everything up and running. Beginning Sept. 2nd. and for the first week I will be reviewing all the paperwork associted with orders and/or parts that need to be supplied to everyone. After that week it will be nothing but get parts finsihed to complete everyone’s orders and take care of a lot of shipping.

I will ask in the e-Newsletter to be sent in early September for everyone to contact me via e-mail if they have pending items owed to them. I want to make as certain as possible that I don’t over-look or miss anyone. This will maek for a lot of extra paperwork for me but I feel it is improtant to do su.

In the meantime, if you’d like to help support the fund raiser project so we can get more equipment in here to produce even better kits in a much shorter time frame, and you might like to add a specific 1/12th kit to your collection then give us a call.

As always, don’t hesitate to touch base with us for more specific details.

Take Good Care Everyone,

Paul
