? Sorry to be dull - what's up with being a Lotus dealer now in particular? The Siata 208s is a genuine original beauty. Hard to beleive the Siata Spring is from the same company. And the MG TF - ah yes, there is this beauty too (not as far off as your example, in fairness). The Gentry:

If you like to run or ride a bicycle maybe you could fit one of these to improve your breathing:

Starting to feel like part of a team again on the second day of my new contract despite us all working from home and meeting on Skype only. A few issues with connectivity and access to the clients website from my own computer, now sorted - and a bit held back on some things until my work laptop arrives here but so far so good! A bonus is not having to fill up my fuel tank twice a week - and my insurance company is giving me a £25 refund per insured vehicle due to the sharp drop in accident rates on UK roads.

The poor little Miata has had to suffer from several other misshapen blobs of "interpretations" or "re-creations" being mercilessly stretched over it. I know it's a good car with many fans but the Miata in itself is a mild example of Palmerism: Lotus Elan Sprints: Miatas:

I like it. It would be quite a widowmaker with all that extra power and torque feeding through those notoriously evil swing axles that made the rear wheels prone to extreme camber change and sudden loss of grip! One for the brave and skilled!

'...gutted of stereo, climate controls...' Yes I can see these would be of limited use in this machine, especially the latter!

It ain't so. Painting it blue with white stripes and calling it a Cobra doesn't mean it is one even with the nerf bars and the dinky bumpers! Just plain misguided!

Good luck in living the dream!

Yep - if I had all the money I've spent on drink - I'd spend it on drink! To quote Viv Stanshall, late member of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.

No disrespect to James Dean intended! Blame David Essex in the song 'Rock On': 'Still looking for that blue jean, baby queen Prettiest girl I ever seen See her shake on the movie screen, Jimmy Dean (James Dean)' That Vette sounds nasty, it's probably a relief for us all that you don't have any photos!?

Yeah they're not terrible - but the F40 wannabe is a definate Palmer-ism!

Looks terriific, quite a back yard you have there! What do you plan to grow?

This is special because of the amount of money and effort that seems to have gone into totally ruining a 3 series! And I'd take bets that the hood scoop isn't functional. He's even got the number plate backwards! - I see his neighbour has a Mercedes KLS.

Run AWAY!!!!!!!!!!

The 'Countachs' are pretty funny, especially the red one - which probably isn't a V12 despite what the badge says! And the 'Wraith' is something else again! Great stuff.

Likewise if I'm honest. I did spend a happy few hours trying to make it work with the tub filled with water - it was tricky to get the balance right!

Funny old world! I was living at 626 Streetsbrook Road.

Ed - I re-read Dave's note about the changes (thanks to Casy's prompting) and it appears that these sites are due to be merged therefore we can't create new topics in them. Cheers, -Don.

I still have fond memories even though I left there in 1976 after my A levels.

O.k. thanks. Yes I can view and respond to existing topics or Id've moaned about that as well!. Keep up the good work, thanks.

That stance is too sensible for a true 'Freak. Not suicidal enough? Wheelbase looks okay though!

This car ran at around 185 mph or maybe a bit more on the M1 motorway very early one morning. It got leaked to the press and led to our accursed 70 mph speed limit in Britain. 'Sorry Officer, I can't hear you.'

The AC98 is such a looker!

Hi Dave I wanted to start a new topic in 'Diecast and Resin models' but this section along with 'Big Boyz', 'Drag Racing' and 'Truck Parts' is greyed out in the drop-down list of forums to choose: Is anyone else experiencing this or has reported it? Cheers, -Don.
