Sadly, Tim succumbed to Corona virus on April 12th. I loved the Goodies on UK TV and always enjoyed him in radio comedy in more recent times.

Well the original builder was clearly committed to his madness. Good luck in getting it apart!

And Tom doesn't know either. Great model. Maybe just the Italian flair for design? With a bit of downforce under throttle.

Nice Zeke!

Also a forerunner of the hard-headed professional school of drivers. He knew how to behave, certainly - but he also knew how to get what was his due. And I agree, Tom. Moss always said Fangio was the best.

Maybe like this?

Almost as bad as the paint is the horrible nerf bar (or is it a clothes drying rack?) stuck on the front of that poor old Mercedes. As for Lennon's Rolls, that is properly fabulous and I'd own that like a shot!

But I think the owner has, in place of a brain.

Cheers Dave

Neat! What scale is it?

The greatest Grand Prix racing driver never to be World Champion. My dad encountered him on a vintage car rally some years back. His attitude to proceedings was 'Get out of my bl**dy way!'. You don't get to be that successful in motor racing without a certain aggressive streak. Very sadly missed.

And I hate google too but it's the best we've got ?

Much better picture. Can't help much beyond that. Good luck!

The only way I'm easy is when I'm...

The images on this site generally are a bit messed up. Ground control to Major Tom.......... ..

You Can't Hold On Too Long, The Cars. Back to the bone: 'Cos that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live forever....'

Have you tried Google? The photo you show isn't very inspiring. Big old thing, though!

And you were, I got it! Nobody seemed to mind, I think we all thought he'd rather be left alone.

I'd rather keep what's left of my teeth! And yes, no-one said a word!

I saw 2 police vans and a patrol car and 8 or so policemen and women in the process of closing down some incident or other. All well inside the 2 metre 'safety zone'. The most stupid bit was that they actually took the 'suspect' out of one van and marched him to the other one - so he gets to be in close contact with a whole bunch of rozzers and infect or be infected by not one but two police vans. Yesterday I was parked outside the local supermarket in my 25 year old 530i Touring and a proper bobbed Harley blatted into the next parking bay. Black, proper high apes and big fat back tyre. Rider was wearing shades and cutoffs. I stuck my thumb up as he glanced over - and he completely ignored me and walked into the shop. He seemed to ignore the queue of customers who had been waiting outside as well. Straight out of Sonny Barger's textbook.

I can hear the music playing now...!

Thanks David. Funny that never occurred to me, it seems obvious now I know! Those beetles were pretty rigidly built. Cheers, -Don.

Oddball : To a New Yorker like you, a hero is some type of weird sandwich, not some nut who takes on three Tigers.

I'd not bother eating food that someone else had cooked right now. It is bl**dy annoying. But c'est la vie!

The bits of underpinning that poke out under the sills in front of the back wheels (dunno what they are but they must be there for a reason, they're visible on the real car too, looking unsightly!) are a bit too big and chunky but otherwise brilliant! Anyone know what they are?
