  1. What looks like a two tone BMW is an NSU! There is a BMW next to it though.
  2. I think I'm close on this but no cigar!
  3. Don't Let Me Down - the Fabs (well, John wrote and sang it, but Paul did a bit of decent bass playing...
  4. I'm glad someone else has noticed that, It's a further blow to a great old motor car company. Ford should just build Fords and be proud of them, not cash in on someone else's reputation for style and quality. I hate takeovers. Even BMW do it of course with those terrible 'minis' and with Rolls Royce.Back on topic, I couldn't enter this week - but these horrible little vehicles are constantly in the way on the roads over here! Even the name is rubbish - but that's just my opinion!
  5. Yes indeed! but who's the artist?
  6. Nobody saw her go, They said they should have noticed 'cos her dress was cut so low. Well it only goes to show Ha, ha, how many real men any of us know.
  7. The game of life is hard to play I'm gonna lose it anyway The losing card I'll someday lay so this is all I have to say...
  8. no one knows what happened that day, how his car overturned in flames, but as they pulled him from the twisted wreck, with his dying breath, they heard him say...
  9. You can roll pretty much any road car if you try hard enough. Is a BMW 2002 unsafe at any speed? Well, I rolled one many years back, swerving to avoid a dog in the road - a combination of high speed and a lot of youthful inexperience. Not the car's fault.
  10. Rock and Roll, Led Zep! Too easy, absolutely brilliant especially the live version.
  11. Cum on feel the Noize - Slade! Note the spelling, they often did that with their song titles.Noddy Holder has the second greatest voice in Rock and roll, after JWOL of course.
  12. Really good, I thought the stance was a little low but probably not!
  13. Thanks Geoff It looks good in 'BRG'. How's Mell Square these days, by the way? - I used to live at 626 Streetsbrook Road'!
  14. Did any of these make it Stateside?
  15. Thanks for the info. What about your own projects?
  16. Beautiful. Were the two black bonnet vents dummies on the 1:1? I have a feeling they were.
  17. For me it's the sail panels behind the side windows that spoil the shape. Otherwise if you imagine a fastback roof, it would look pretty close to a flattened 911 (I only just realised that!). Somehow while I really don't like 914s I do really like the 914/6. This is a particularly good model, too.
  18. It would still be nearly six tenths of a mile long and would rise and fall around 40 feet from the lowest to the highest part of the track! I was lucky enough to have the chance to drive an E30 M3 (BMW) around the 'ring a few years back, had a blast but you can't learn a track like that in half a dozen laps.
  19. Okay here's some proper lyrics!: The sword swallower walks up to you And he kneels He crosses himself And then he clicks his high heels And without further notice Asks you how it feels And says, "Here's your throat back Thanks for the loan"
  20. The wood effects look great!
  21. so is a Hemi a good cure for a headache?
  22. Back in '75 a friend of mine had a Mini that he fitted a Wolseley Hornet bonnet to, but without the Wolseley grille. This gave a really neat forward facing scoop. He also stripped the interior and drove the thing like he stole it. Sadly one night he got into a race with a local dentist driving an MG-B in the town where we lived. The two cars made contact, the MG clipped the kerb and rolled, both cars were written off and the dentist was killed. Big local scandal. Chris didn't go to jail for his part in it but lost his licence and his interest in driving. On a less downbeat note, here's a Hornet (a Mini with different bonnet, trim and extended tail) - you can imagine it without the special Wolseley grille, just an open scoop above the Mini grill.
  23. I was just wondering what had happened to this! Now I know. How will the driver get in and out? (I know, there isn't really a driver, it's a model - but you know what I mean!)
  24. Inspired by a dialogue in the Name That Tune thread: How can you tell when the drum riser is level? The drummer dribbles out of both sides of his mouth at the same time!
