Hamilton is 40 and Alonzo is 43. 🙂 But, yes, I'm not buying Brad Pitt (61) as an F1 driver. -

Actually, Indy Cars (on an oval) have a higher top speed than F1. -

Contest ad question????
vintagerpm replied to Tom Kren's topic in Model Cars Magazine News and Discussions
Go to the masthead (list of magazine editors, contributers, etc.) in the front of the magazine and look for "Sales & Marketing" under "Adverting Inquiries". The latest issue I have on hand is #222 from 2023. It lists Wes Hofferber (wes@modelcarsmag.com), but I do not know if he still holds that position. -

Two 1/43 cars from Replicarz. Had to have the Rexy 911. Aston Martin was on sale, so I could not refuse to order it. ?

What would YOU like to see as a model
vintagerpm replied to JeroenM3's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Latest info I can find is that it was raced in 2022. Flipped and survived! https://www.thedrive.com/news/1-8m-big-oly-ford-bronco-flips-in-off-road-race-keeps-going -

Tamiya, AK, Ammo, Velejo, & others all make an acrylic "tire black" or "rubber black". In addition, Tamiya has a lacquer spray can of it.

Matra MS 670 1972 Lemans Winner
vintagerpm replied to Rich Chernosky's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Interesting (at least to me) tidbit on the real car. The roundels on the sides were the raw, unpainted fiberglass of the body. They put lights inside to light them up during the night. -
