What is this that stands before me? Figure in black which points at me Turn round quick and start to run Find out I'm the chosen one...

'Sun King' out of the medley of unfinished songs on side 2 of Abbey Road by the Fabs!

So does Alice Cooper!

I say model because the whitewalls look just like inserts that haven't been fitted very carefully.

Wayne, I take your point and agree it probably works out for the best most of the time - but it still seems illogical that there be differing thresholds for establishing guilt / liability in the criminal vs. the civil courts. I studied law at university but gave up when I discovered that practising as a lawyer had little to do with 'truth and justice' and a lot to do with trying to ensure your client wins the case (prosecution or defence).

As we say over here, 'The law is an ass'.

Warp drive...

The title of this post made me think of the USS Enterprise!

Got this Cobra kit that I bought on ebay a few days ago. I bought this one to replace the one I had in my Cobra stash that was partially assembled. This one is in mint Condition and was only 10.00 with a BIN. I will be trying to build and save the other one. Box art is attractive but the car looks a little thin and the rear wing is too high, to my eye. Definitely a 427 body shape. But even real Cobras got modified over the years. usually to fit bigger wheels/tyres - and those changes weren't always consistent!

Here's one that does and is! 'The eagle picks my eye The worm he licks my bone I feel so suicidal just like Dylan's Mr Jones'

I like that. Maybe there'll be a luxury version, the HP Chicago Lounge Bar?

I think the only real issue is where the bottom window line curves down on the front quarterlight so doesn't line up with the bonnet (hood) line, something to do with the scuttle in front of the windscreen being a little low. The profile of the 1:1 regardless of coachwork has a single gently sweeping line from radiator to the very rear of the car. Building up the scuttle and raising the rear of the bonnet would help a lot. I know it's easy for me to say, actually doing it would be beyond my skills! Good luck with this project.

Indeed! Keep up the good work, 'Brizio!

Greg - it's 'blimey' in these parts! No offence, guv'nor!

Also easy! The Lemon Song - Zep. Absolutely brilliant but sadly no credit given to Howlin' Wolf!

Easy! Dedicated Follower of Fashion - the Kinks

It's lucky Ward didn't kill or injure anyone else! - pot or alcohol in whatever quantity do not mix with driving any car in any situation let alone a racetrack. If anyone else is fool enough to race cars while 'refreshed' then hopefully they'll wise up after this tragedy. It's not just themselves they're endangering.

'78 was grim for hit singles! In the UK that year's top 10 singles did at least include these two gems: 'In this town, Billy says, "everybody's tryin' to tell you what to do" In this town, Billy says, "everybody says you gotta follow rules" You walk up to the traffic lights, Switch from your left to right You push in that button, and that button comes alight It tells you "Walk, don't walk Talk, don't talk"' and 'Out on the wiley, windy moors We'd roll and fall in green. You had a temper like my jealousy: Too hot, too greedy. How could you leave me, When I needed to possess you? I hated you. I loved you, too'

Wow a steerable rear axle, really lovely work here.

I always buy second hand cars as did my dad - because new ones are so unreliable! The one car he did buy new was a Reliant Scimitar for my mum - that had three replacement rear axles under warranty, which at least gave the dealers time to stick back the bits of interior trim that kept falling off. Oh and I always buy BMWs! They still seem to have the radical philosophy of employing more engineers than bean-counters.

Hey that's not fair changing the picture after I already got the answer! Now I don't know what it is - an HP Special GT? It does look better with those lights, good photo-shopping,.

Well... I guess it would need to be a Heavy Duty cup holder and an uprated return spring on the lid of the cup! Sorry Paul, back to your build...

Very good looking model. Do any of the body panels open? If so, can we see more pictures please?

Must have been Yul Brynner then?

A cup holder in a pro street car?!!! I totally agree with the rest of your comments, this is a great model.
