Wow! Fantastic! Scott

Mr. Mathers' talk about his dad's Acadian reminds of a story I'm sure I've told before. I've been car mad ever since I can remember. As a small kid I could identify most cars I saw pass on the road. But then when I was about 11 or 12 our family made a trip to Canada. We're driving along and this Pontiac passes us. This was a full-size Pontiac. But rather being a Catalina, Ventura, Executive, Bonneville, or what ever, it had a model name I had never seen or heard of before. Laurentian. What's a Laurentian? My dad said that was one those Canadian only cars. Canadians had different cars than we did? I knew they had different cars overseas. Like in Europe and Asia. But in Canada? Cool! As we traveled around Canada I discovered Fargos, Meteors and Monarchs, Acadians, Beumonts, Mercury trucks, and others. A whole new world of cars like ours, but different. This had such an impact on me, that one of papers I wrote in getting my degree in Automotive History dealt with "Canadian Varients." By the way, as a young teenager I then found out about Australian cars. More cool stuff! Sorry to say, I did not get to go to Australia to learn about these. Scott

Looks pretty good. Scott

Even though I have no interest in this kit, I think it's great that it's coming back for those want one. What harm is there in kits coming out that I don't like, but others do? No body is forcing me to buy this kit or any others. I get a little tired of hearing others put down kits they're not interested in. Scott P.S. Sometimes I'm guilty of putting down kits I'm not interested in. And I'm wrong when I do.

That is one horrible looking model kit. Thankfully I am not a big fan of Triumph GT6. Scott

Very nice. It almost looks real. Great job. Scott

Nice find Bernard. I'm glad you plan on building it. After all that's what it was deigned for. Scott

Very nice Tim. Another beautiful build. Scott

That one's good too! Scott

I haven't seen the cartoon in years. But didn't Shaggy eat Scobby Snacks once or twice, and like them too? Scott

Oh! So that's what's happening to all of my dates. Blind or not. Scott

Come on! You didn't know there were Scobby Snacks for kids? They been around for several years now. Scott

Anybody know? Did he sell them? Or throw them in the garbage? Isn't now two days past his deadline? Scott

Good one! Scott

Does nothing for me. Scott

Very nice job Harry. Scott

That's too bad. Scott

That I would like to see too. Scott

I agree. Not a great looking car. But, I've seen a lot worst. Scott

As noted on another tread here Tom, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Scott

Sorry for your loss Tom. I've got an 18 year old cat that I'm figuring will go soon. It's always hard when they do. They're more like family than just pets. Scott

Looks creepy with out the hair! Very nice job so far. Scott

Again, not true. And it's Ralph by the way. Not ralf. He was invited to speak at the national CORSA club meet several years ago. And he showed up! He doesn't hate Corvairs. He dislikes them no more or less than any other car. He does think they are more unsafe than other cars. But, he doesn't hate them. Scott

Thanks for letting me know. That's okay with me. I didn't expect a flat six in that one. Scott

Looks great. Um... Donuts. Scott
