  1. It's a beautiful build. One question - why does it have a scoop and then two cold air feeds from the front of the car? Where does the air from the scoop go? Sorry that's two questions! I wish I could build to that standard tho.
  2. How about 'Things are never as good or as bad as they first appear'. or 'Everything happens for the best' (my dad's maxim).
  3. At least you didn't drive it into a dumper like Kowalski did in his '70! I always loved those Challengers, how long did you keep yours?
  4. I had a BMW 525i from '82, took a coil out of the front springs, it had a great stance on 7 inch alloys and handled well, better with the kids in the back! I still own a 2002 turbo lowered for racing that I once got stuck in a motorway service station because the speed humps were too tall for it. You could dump the clutch in that car with the steering cocked a little and it would turn in its own length, I did that once in a traffic jam in South London. I love the look of jacked up cars, especially gassers, but not too much use around the twisty bits here in the UK!
  5. Hi Don, I just joined up myself. Welcome abouard! -Don.
  6. Hi All. My name's Don and I'm delighted that I finally got around to signing up to this most excellent forum. I used to be an avid follower of Brian's sadly defunct site but just as happy with this one, I don't get time to build right now (house renovation, job, kids, 1:1 BMWs, cats) but have the Revell Good Guys 'T'. the Dukes' Charger and a couple of Spitfire models (the proper ones with 12 cylinders and one seat, not the earthbound Triumph variety) to do one day.... I have a few completed kits which I'll post one day, see previous list of excuses. On a slightly random note, I can't believe that no=one on the forum recognised the Ford Corsair that Harry posted a while back - my best friend at school had a red one, sadly not the V4 version. Bet there's not many left now. I think the front was very loosely based on the 64 Thunderbird. It didn't go round corners as well as my old 1953 RME Riley.
