When I was at school, in the 6th form and aged 18 I had a friend called Michel Eccleston whose dad was in the motor trade. While Mike was still a learner Mr Eccleston lent us his 4.2 ltr XJ6 to go to Silverstone for the F1 qualifying. That was great, but that evening on the way home I pulled away from the lights at a T-junction a bit quickly, lost the back end (I still blame the power steering which had no feel for what the front wheels were doing) and went sideways over the kerb and hit a low wall - outside our school as it happened. Pushed the sill and rear valence in and wrecked the nearside rear wheel... A few months later after all was forgiven Mike and I accompanied his dad to a car rally. Mike drove his dad's Model T Ford Tourer from about 1920. It had no self centering on the steering and all went well until Mike lost concentration late in the day and veered off the road and hit a telegraph pole, which bent the front wing and pushed the axle back on one side... Luckily we hadn't been going all that fast. We sort of lost touch after that. Great model, good story btw!

Same here, but Zep always were a bit mysterious

Bicycle Race - Queen I like smokin' lightning Heavy metal thunder Racing with the wind And the feeling that I'm under

'You wear it well' - Rod the Mod (Stewart)

Love Shack - B-52s - dreadful song, but so catchy!

'Its a long way down to the top' - Back Street Crawler. I have the LP, poor Mr Kossof, such a waste.

I think Chuck Berry would be surprised to hear that! Tubbs already got this one (Maybelline by mr Berry)

Chute? Shoot!

Uneasy Rider, Charlie Daniels! Good song. 'You know I'm born to lose and gambling's for fools but that's the way I like it baby I don't want to live forever'

No problem! I'm stuck on your last lyric though...

Dare I suggest that if somebody wants to post some lyrics that they have to identify some that are already posted first? It's getting a little like spaghetti, too many strands....

Jumping Jack Flash - the Stones. Detroit Rock City - Kiss How about this: 'The motor cooled down, the heat went down And that's when I heard that highway sound. The Cadillac a-sittin' like a ton of lead A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead. The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still...'

Just a thought - this would fit right in there...

..and it's very big sand!

It looks real but there's something not quite right about the bull bar and the front shocker is too clean so I'll say model.

The pictures look fine to me, it's a good looking model.

OK!

Brilliant! I love Red House. Let's not forget : Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath Lily the Pink - The Scaffold Back in Black - AC/DC Tangled up in Blue - Bob Dylan Green Door - ~Shakin' Stevens Black Knight - Deep Purple Nights in White Satin - Moody Blues The Green Manalishi - Fleetwood Mac Paint it Black - the Rolling Stones Blue Monday - New Order My White Bicycle - Nazareth Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson Land of Grey and Pink - Caravan Any Colour You Like - Pink Floyd or are we going ever so slightly off topic here

'Fifty Shades of Grey' - - sounds like the B-side of 'Whiter Shade of Pale'

The Rolls Royce Silver Shadow was originally to be called the Silver Mist until someone checked the German translation... Mist politely translates as manure, rubbish, or dirt....

I'm with Fred on that! Those scoops look ugly enough on late metal, too much for the poor little old Austin! I love the wheels.

Well....

It's up to you - but if rubber band tyres were any good they'd use them for racing. They are good for saving rubber, making your dentist rich and impressing the local youths. Shame to put them on a muscle car, especially one as sharp as yours looks.

Lovely models, but did the pilots bale out?
