  1. The indicators are different, the N360 ones are integrated into the grille surround. Maybe not close enough for Michael!
  2. I notice this one's a Fiat 500 Giardiniera, the rare station wagon version.☺️
  3. Great car - but it's not 'Under Glass' - this section is for completed model cars not real ones! This post should be in 1:1 Reference Photos: Auto Shows, Personal vehicles (Cars and Trucks)
  4. Well done Pete - here's my full original image:, now it's your turn to post one!
  5. Let's keep it rolling:
  6. You might want to change the subject of this thread Alan! It's not just for Jaguars!
  7. Sorry I can't find a tidy way to crop an image. This one is slightly harder maybe?
  8. 1969 Chevy Camaro
  9. That would be a Sprint on this side of the pond. Autocross is muddy and rough in the UK! Have fun with your new ride.
  10. Good luck! She looks too good for the kind of autocross I'm familiar with but she's perfect for the strip.
  11. Agreed. Too much front overhang and the wheels are way too small. And it would probably have been cheaper to buy a proper rig, cos I would imagine the build costs were pretty high.
  12. I love the 70s rear jack up kit - with the leaf springs bowing the wrong way! Great car with potential, what are your plans?
  13. She keeps her Moet et ChandonIn her pretty cabinet"Let them eat cake", she saysJust like Marie Antoinette…
  14. I've spent time around these cars and this is fabulously evocative. I love it.
  15. I suspect they'll find it was the nut behind the wheel...
  16. The man's an idiot and should be locked up. With his licence revoked for life. It's just luck that no innocent bystanders got hurt. Just my opinion.
  17. Great model. This 'plane has always fascinated me because Lindbergh has no forward vision at all! He would yaw the thing and look out of the side windows, apparently he was used to flying mail planes from the rear seat with the front loaded with mailbags. A periscope was developed but it's not clear if this was used much if at all.
  18. These vehicles had dodgy handling even with the standard engine, so the extra power will make a very challenging drive! That said, I love the Cheetah and what you're doing with it!
  19. Good to find out what it is, it was completely under my radar!
  20. I'd love to have seen the reaction of the Hooper staff to the sight of a Hudson gracing the front of their premises!
  21. Yes, I'll never forget the sight of her in that Ford Transit yelling at all sorts of exotic cars and superbikes to get out of her way!
  22. From the official F1 website: Sabine Schmitz, the pioneering female racer and only woman to have won the Nurburgring 24 Hours endurance race, has passed away at the age of 51. The German racer, affectionately nicknamed by many as the ‘Queen of the Nurburgring’, revealed last year that she was diagnosed with cancer in 2017. She twice won the 24-hour race at the fabled Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit in a BMW M3, and raced a Porsche in the same event in 2008 to finish third. Schmitz was also known for her appearances on British motoring show Top Gear, in which she famously attempted to lap a Ford Transit van around the 15-mile circuit under 10 minutes. https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.pioneering-female-racer-sabine-schmitz-passes-away-aged-51.2WM2UgjARsftGvk92lApCe.html Far far too young.
