  1. Here in the UK we have 33 sport channels on satellite TV, only 1 covers vehicles which is called 'Motors' and that is owned by a french company and as such they mainly cover european motor sports with dubbed commentaries (very annoying)... The other 32 channels are mainly football (soccer to the colonies) and other boring ball type games...
  2. That is so sweet, brings back some memories too, I learn't to drive in one...
  3. HAppy birthday, if you already have a 1:1 vehicle, save the money, you'll need it for fuel...
  4. Thanks for the reply chaps, think I night pop to my local parts shop and get a tin of auto primer and give that a try, never had this problem with it before and I prepared it the same way, full strip down again I guess... Thanks again...
  5. Hi all, Just wondering if I could pick your brains please, has anyone any idea why this is happening please...: - I was starting to sand it down but for some reason the primer just wants to peel off, surface was fully cleaned down etc before hand... Thank you in advance for any help...
  6. Very sweet, brings back some great memories... BJ & The Bear Deadly Cargo Part 1...:- More here... https://www.youtube....t&view=0&page=2
  7. Retired British Armed Forces, had a really bad motorcycle accident in '97, spent the next 12months in hospital and 2yrs great rehab in the Armed Forces Rehab Centre and was medically discharged in '00, sadly not been able to work since, and have also been fighting the big 'C' since '06...
  8. Considering UK cities have the most CCTV cameras than any other on the planet, I'd have to say I think you need to wake up whilst your walking around and take notice of all the cameras watching you, you squeak in the wrong place and they'll know and if they feel like it they'll take you in for questioning... As for the UK Universities having dorms, you've got to be kidding, the posh/rich (their the only ones who can afford to go to Uni over here) don't like sharing so normally end up renting a flat/apartment...
  9. Thanks chaps, it's not supposed to be a hot tub though, it's just a Pick-Up style, similar to what I did with my Evo build ( http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=51684 )...
  10. Hi Doobie, Thank you, both kits where Corvette's sorry, they both had bits missing so used the two to make the one...
  11. Hi all, Made this from two kits and thought I'd make something a little different... Thank you for looking...
  12. Hi all, I've been working on this for the last month or so, it's a mixture of two Corvette kits, both had parts missing... Primed ready for paint... Extending the interior floor pan... Seat back are from a Scooby die-cast that I had, the bases are from the Corvette... Engine Build Up... Getting there... Thank you for looking...
  13. That's because students over here are spoilt, plus, you have to remember that over in the US they have proper collage/uni campus dormitory's...
  14. She does look a beaut, but still smaller than the Road Trains they have in the Australian Colonies, them things are HUGE...
  15. What got me was the fact she's still servicing her own vehicle, how many of us can say or even do that...
  16. Now this is well worth reading... http://www.ohio.com/news/dyer/her-car-is-82-she-s-102-both-still-going-strong-1.334973
  17. Something like this would be great, although I doubt it would be shown here in the UK , so why not use the Internet and the You-Tube thingy and have a MCM channel... Builders could tape certain builds and then pop them to whoever wants to run the channel and then each week they could upload a new build, show tips & tricks, or even have interviews with certain top builders etc... At least then doing it this way, the whole world gets to see and learn about the world of model car building... Just a thought...
  18. Just as I thought this place was starting to get better (again) someone posts yet another anal and totally meaningless post... Who cares if an old post is brought back from the dead, surely it's up the the readers to READ the dates BEFORE entering a poll or posting something, it's easy for the polls, if it hasn't been closed and someone can still vote then said poll is still valid...
  19. Looks great Pat, when BMW made great cars, these days there all computer and no looks, my personal favourites have to be the old style 6 & 8 series though...
