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?

They were a dealer option on quite a few cars that Harry has posted, along with the fuzzy black radiator badge and mascot!

PM sent! They don't make 'em like that any more.

At least the owner put it on the right end of the car... Clearly it gives much needed downforce when reversing into a parking space!

This should be easy, but not for me! It is a lovely thing.

"Posted 15 August 2014 - 04:50 PM Thanks guys. I guess it is hard to see in the photos, but the spare is secured to the floor of the trunk. (I too learned that lesson in my Z/28) There is even a metal reinforcement plate on the outside of the bottom of the trunk floor for the threaded rod to anchor to." Brilliant! I'm glad I asked, even more impressed now! -Don.

It makes a lot more sense than the $10.9 million that Chris Evans paid for a 250 SWB Ferrari California Spider in 2008. And then he repainted it in white... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/classiccars/6937571/Chris-Evans-Ferrari-250GT-California-Spider.html

This is a fantastic model. So real it's got me wondering if the imagined owner would stow his jack, wheelbrace etc. so carelessly in that alloy spare wheel - after a bit of enthusiastic driving they would be flying all over the place inside the boot (trunk), knocking paint off and denting the metal. This I know from experience. Keep up the good work!

PM sent! Funny how the style never quite caught on, perhaps that perforated engine cover made the rider a little too hot in traffic! Roast chestnuts, anyone?
