  1. My brother in law owned one of these but never got it running. So I recognised it instantly but not sure about the exact model
  2. Love the Allard with luggage strapped on the side!
  3. I knew this one, just left it too late to send in the answer! It's a late one with the big vents behind the wheels. So fame has eluded me this time Well done guys!
  4. Nice. Are the stripes painted or transfers / decals? -Don.
  5. All I can say is it looks better from the front! PM sent
  6. I can't drive automatics with any confidence and have never owned one. I love the control a manual gives and even the physical effort needed which translates directly into mechanical action (although I have had a clutch plate shatter while racing...). The only problem I ever had was when I got my first left hand drive car having grown up on right hookers - was trying to change gear with the window winder at first! The last auto I drove was a BMW 535i that set itself on fire on the M25 motorway while I was stuck in a traffic jam - the brakes started binding and the gearbox began leaking transmission fluid onto the exhaust pipes. Total write off, the fire engine couldn't reach me due to the further jam the fire caused! I'm still friends with the car's owner. I must add that it's great that autos are there for anyone who prefers them especially those like some on this thread who have physically aren't comfortable or able to drive a manual, and I know autos are a lot better nowadays...
  7. PM sent - a bit of a challenge, this one! Thanks -Don.
  8. And to think I make a living out of testing software!
  9. I was 1 letter out! Not a VF but a VE. You're a tough quizmaster, Ken but it was fun looking anyway! -Don.
  10. Thanks Chuck for giving the rhythm to the blues.
  11. What a shame they couldn't find a better way to fit the front numberplate / licence plate! Enjoyed this one!
  12. Not sure I'd like to meet the owner on a dark night, or anytime for that matter...
  13. Hi Thierry Missing this thread! Is there any hope for it's recovery? Bonne Chance! -Don.
  14. Didn't have to think about this one! I always loved these. Cheers, Ken.
  15. Really well built model, I think the Badman is the cheeseburger of model cars - not haut cuisine but everybody would like one! Shouldn't this be Under Glass though? Cheers, -Don.
  16. Diptheria? I always wanted to visit Phoenix, a legendary place from where I'm sitting! Sweet looking little car though don't you reckon?
  17. I've got one of these in the Good Guys box that I plan to build when I retire but I've been saying that for years - thought about selling it to a good home but I just looked at www.eModelCars.com but all I could see were generic topics and adverts from Amazon. Nowhere to advertise my Ford! I planned to put the trailer wheels on the front axle and the spokes on the trailer, seems to be crying out for that. Chuck some slicks in the trailer and swap them all around at the strip. -Don.
  18. We like easy sometimes! Thanks Ken, PM sent -Don.
  19. Or a new one...
  20. It was those wheels plus Dr Ferry himself masquerading as Wild Bill Hickok that gave it away!
  21. They don't make them like they used to! PM sent.
  22. Great work, John! Clever the way you've caught the slightly 'cross-eyed' look of the 1:1 from that inspired source of a rear bumper! -Don.
  23. That's really well done, I'd like a 1:1 like that!
  24. Any colour you like, as long as it's black.
