Dave Abbott decided he needed a hobby so he took up collecting radio-controlled vehicles.
“It’s always good to try something different,” he says.

Dave, along with other collectors, brought along some of his radio-controlled vehicles to the Radio Control Extravaganza, held at the Dannevirke showgrounds earlier this month.
Dave has been collecting radio-controlled vehicles, ranging from stockcars to diggers and trucks, complete with sound effects, which he brought to show at the event.
