I know this one too! PM sent.

The Stovebolt Special is now owned and competed by Simon Taylor, racing driver and now editor of Classic and Sportscar magazine. He hillclimbs and sprints it regularly, and drives it on the road. It is well fettled and now looks like this: It's worth a Google, there's a few videos of it in action up there. Still running three twos on that Chevy!

Revell did 2 '24 ounces':

Yes. I first heard this sung by Joan Baez, I love her version.

Not boring at all, it's like a journey of discovery and it's great to see these models enjoying the light of day once more!

Yep! That might give a clue on my post #1537...

You know, that last picture's not a million miles from the 'Miss Deal' chassis!

I must admit I felt a little uneasy When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe

Yes!

Shame it doesn't have a rat motor too. It does look to have one of Harry's favourite floating alternators though - but that's just the camera angle.

Thank the Lord for small mercies!

And I love this one, especially the version his girlfriend recorded (extra gold stars if you name them both!) The jacks and the queens Have forsaked the courtyard Fifty-two gypsies Now file past the guards In the space where the deuce And the ace once ran wild

More lyrics, anyone? Easier than my last one that no-one got yet! The little children laugh at him behind his back And the banker never wears a mac In the pouring rain

Looks great1 What scale is it?

Are you planning on building a miniature Jay Leno behind the wheel? I've never seen him look so worried, by the way!I'm enjoying this thread.

BMW 2002 turbo, complete with boost gauge.

I only google ones I'm posting, to check I got the lyrics right - and sometimes the lyric sites themselves get the lyrics wrong!

So are you repainting this one or building a new one in yellow? Is this model as simple as it looks - does it have an interior? The red one looks good, I like the shape too.

A man opens a tin of dogfood and tips it into his old dog's bowl. The dog comes over and starts to eat, then looks up and says 'This tastes terrible!' His owner is staggered and says 'Y-you can talk? Why haven't you ever said anything before? 'The food's been OK up till now...'

Beds are burning - Midnight Oil. Love it.

Thanks, makes sense! Still a good model and the inlet issue makes a good talking point. I'd put a smiley here but mine aren't available today for some reason.

I love that Studebaker. Back to 'planes - these pilots couldn't even see ahead in level flight! I always wondered how that worked, I know they raced around pylons and were always banking but it still seems like madness. Glorious but still madness!

Thanks Carl, I see it clearly now I know!But I still wonder WHY?

Why not? In my experience a long inlet tract = strong top-end performance.
