Harry P. Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 (edited) New and Improved! Real or Model! Ok...it's not new...and it's not improved either. But it IS at a new home! For those of you unfamiliar with this little diversion, it's very simple. All you have to do is look at the photo and decide whether it's a photo of a REAL car (1:1 scale) or a MODEL (anything smaller than 1:1). I might alter the background just to confuse you...or I might not, but I won't mess with the car itself. Feel free to post your reasons why you think the picture is of a REAL car or a MODEL. The only "rule" is this: If you know the answer for sure (for example, you know where the photo is from), don't tell! That would spoil it for those who want to try and guess. Now then, if I can get this poll to post correctly, here's the first one. The answer WEDNESDAY! I can't seem to get the poll to post??? I filled in a "real" and a "model" choice, but I don't see that appearing here. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Ken Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I'll be the first to step out. Real, I believe that is a Brizio (spelling?) built rod. Can't remember who they built it for, but I believe it was featured in a Rodder's Journal issue with two other 32 highboys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 Ken...apparently you didn't take my "only rule" very seriously... BTW...can anyone tell me how to get the poll (voting choices) to display? I can't get it to work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novadose71 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Shortest real or model ever. Don't care either way, that thing is sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 Shortest real or model ever. Don't care either way, that thing is sweet! Yeah, that didn't go so well. And besides, I can't get the poll to work. I might have to rethink this thing altogether... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novadose71 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Maybe one of the fearless leaders, or someone else can help save the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Lombardo Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Guy's that is the best laugh I have had in days. I love it! Looked at the picture of that great rod, thought to myslef, "I've seen that car before" but I read the "rules" and kept the thought to myself. Then the first post blew your cover. I really enjoyed it, but I think it points to the real problem here. Most of us guys are real "car guy's". I am constantly looking around at ALL cars and ALL car publications. I model cars because I am really into cars and have a limited budget on what I can spend on real ones, but not so with model cars. So, my point is, as "car guys"it will be hard to find pictures of cars that we haven't seen before. I get most of my ideas for features on my models from the real life gems produced by the great builders of the day (actually past and present builders) So, I think it is a great idea to try this "Real or Model" poll, I think most of us will have seen the subject before, and that will spoil the fun of it. But then again, what the h*ll do I know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 Maybe this just isn't the right forum for ROM. Oh well...it was just an experiment...they don't all work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartek Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Maybe this just isn't the right forum for ROM. Oh well...it was just an experiment...they don't all work!

Darin Bastedo Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I tried it on my own and it is working. I'm not sure what wasn't done but I say give it another try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelo Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Yes, try it again. Maybe we shouldn't be allowed to give hints. I saw that in another Auto Quiz. I think guys like Peter will enjoy this when you start posting some of your harder ones. Please try it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
