    I must be honest that although I knew what it was I had always thought it came from a different country and it wasn't until I did some digging to get the dates that I found out the where. Still. I was that one response and I'll take that!

    Meatloaf would say it wasn't bad but hopefully Michael is more strict!?

    My miss-spent youth pays off again! But I learned something that surprised me when I checked up on the details. Cheers, Michael

    Yeah - I'm not a builder but I wonder if there is a way to beef up the joists in the room you're working in - maybe a great idea in theory...! Good luck with whatever solution you come up with. Do 1:1 cannonballers have these problems? ?
  5. DonW
    If the room was only meant for storage, it may be that the joists supporting the floor aren't heavy-duty enough - there is a big difference between ceiling joists and floor joists. Maybe worth checking that out before you go any further with the flooring. Well worth persevering though, it's a great looking space!

    As the late great Viv Stanshall said: 'If I had all the money I've spent on drink... I'd spend it on drink'. Same for car magazines.

    Blame it on a miss-spent youth. I've always been into cars and the characters in the motoring world. So I know this one.

    Oh this brings back memories. I built one of these kits back in the early seventies! Around the time I learned to scrape the chrome off the mating surfaces so the polystyrene cement would hold. Plenty of practice on this one!

    I recognised this one as soon as I saw it! Good one, cheers Michael.
  11. DonW
    I knew exactly what it's based on right away, but can't track it down. ? The clues turned up a similar vehicle but not the right one!
  12. DonW
    She's real fine, your 409!

    Maybe they didn't sell because the George figure (2nd left) and the John one (far right) look nothing like them - I could only tell who they were supposed to be because Paul is recognisable and George played the Gretsch.

    At least you can get the parts! BMW are good like that even for older models. Try to get a wiper mechanism for a 1998 Fiat Seicento! Unobtanium.
  15. DonW
    Well I got it with the help of the clue from Michael, not easy even then!
  16. DonW
    That's terrific! The stance in particular is just right, with that trademark negative camber at the rear.

    Thanks John Your model may be enough to tempt my son away from his Gundams to a bike model - he does like your Kawasaki!

    Perfect time capsule, built just the way we used to do them. That unsprung back end is pretty hardcore, no doubt the driver knew his dentist and orthopedist very well! And Harry would have loved the floating dynamo!
  19. DonW
    Lovely. Which kit is the Kawasaki built from? Cheers, -Don.
  20. DonW
    No worries Michael, you do a great job - and I enjoyed the challenge of the last 2 even though they were cancelled - I hadn't seen their earlier appearences in the quiz anyway! Cheers, -Don.
  21. DonW
    Oh dear. From the sublime (Autoquiz 506) to the ridiculous!
  22. DonW
    It was great to see this beautiful car again anyway! And I did enjoy researching it. Cheers, -Don.
  23. DonW
    Yes please! ☺️
  24. DonW
    Oh yeah, the Starfighter. I have a chrome one and a matt black one in formation fixed to the wall. 'Does anybody want to buy a Starfighter? Then buy an acre of ground and wait for a while...'

    #1 Spit Mk8 #2 DH Mosquito But at #3 - the Catalina, an aeroplane I often fantasise about owning - island hopping in the South Pacific, fishing out of the big side gun blisters...
