    I'd have to have a pair of these and rollerskate to work.  :)

    I've been on the 270 beltway during rush hour. That thing would get bounced around like a ping pong ball, and get squashed under a semi  before it reached Dublin. Traffic in your area is some pretty serious competition driving. Lol.:D

    Great Traders List

    TO ALL THE FOLKS WHOM I'VE COMPLETED TRADES ON THIS FORUM (You know Who you are).

    I've been on this forum for only 2 years and have met and traded with some of the most honest and upfront bunch of guys I have ever met. I haven't gotten burned once and have always gotten what was promised or sometimes even BETTER than what was promised!

    You guys all deserve a big Thank You, and I make a personal note of you guys, proven to have the best character, so I know who to trust and take care of in the future.

    My sincerest accolades to you!

    ?:D

    I found that if I thin out Tamiya something like 60/40 thinner to paint, reduce the air pressure to about 10-15 PSI and get in close, it will come out ok. Weathering is your friend, LOL! Try and remember the real ones weren't perfect either.

    The Germans "field" applied some camo schemes by mixing the pigments with gasoline, diesel, just about anything that would cut the stuff, and brushed or used an old mop to apply secondary colors. You can replicate forward area applied cammo pretty easy.

    Nothing to do with being PC.

    He just wouldn't accept the fact he was a guest here and therefore subject to the rules....after all this site is about model cars and  not for toxic social commentary....

    I have no reason to change my comment...

    He wasn't afraid to call them as he saw them. I guess that's not P/C in today's "enlightened" environment......:rolleyes: . I'll miss him. I might not have agreed with everything he said, BUT I respected him for saying what he thought. For that, he has my respect.

    Is your phone tracking you ?

    If you have a flip phone, you can still be tracked from you phone pinging off cell towers, just like a certain NY lawyer that's been in the news lately.

    If I don't need it, I shut it off.  Problem solved. My phone is so old, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of these modern things. Besides, IF they ARE watching me for whatever reason, I'm a pretty boring study.:P. And yes, they should at least bring the beer. I spend enough time in the green machine to know how track and observe works. Electronic or otherwise. This is prob old news to most people, but those reward cards ALMOST everybody uses at the box stores, gives big brother a nice baseline of EVERYTHING you buy, allowing them to establish baseline buying patterns on everything you consume. Food for thought.....

    I won't own a smart phone. Smartphone Tech has went from being a tool of convenience, to being a tool of information and passive information gathering for anybody who can hack in and get it.  No thanks. I still prefer the ability to not be reached at any time of day or night. 

    Your package went where?

    Did a trade with Blackbeard for a semi truck kit here about a week and a half ago. His end made it here safe and sound AND on time, my end seemed to get bounced ALL over the eastern U.S. Before he FINALLY got his end of the trade today. Hopefully in one piece. I know it's there busy time, but the address label could not have been more clear, and they STILL screwed it up......:angry:

    You know,  that concept might just work in 1:1.   The weight distribution with a 289 or 302, maybe all wheel drive with a slight lift and some aggressive tires. HHmmmmmm... Not on a REAL Shelby, that would prob get you burned at the stake. Lol. But a repro, or kit car..... ? Food for thought. Thanks for sharing Ray.

    Maybe GM will throw in one of those nose cover things to hide this mess:wacko:. What would MSRP be on this thing? 40 to 50 grand fully loaded? NO THANKS. No wonder import trucks are so popular.
