I've always said BMW can't make a bad looking car. When they made a station wagon I thought even that was cool and sporty looking but I believe they finally proved me wrong with this look.

Another piece of our childhood is going away.....
TonyK replied to HomerS's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Forgot about Kenner Toys. I believe they made Spirograph and I'll bet most of us had that at one time. -
FedEx sucks! Continuing story on my non-delivery by them.......They updated the delivery date to this Thursday. Still don't know why they aren't delivering it when it's been sitting at the facility since Saturday. Tried contacting them with some lame virtual typing system. Ask it a question and it needs more info such as my tracking number. Fair enough. Type it and then says it can't help me and I believe some phony excuse was given dealing with Covid. Yeah that's it. The virus keeps us from typing each other. Contacted the company I ordered from and suggested they use a different delivery company. They replied if I don't get my order by Thursday they'll send the order again. What?! So you're gonna ship it again by FedEx? You're missing the point! Arrrgghhh.

More FedEx delivery failure. It's been showing me for a week that I'd get my delivery on Monday but Monday comes and there's nothing. Looking at the tracking it shows it arrived at the local facility on Saturday and keeps showing "in transit" for Sunday and Monday whatever that means. I could drive to the facility in a little over a half hour. WTH?! Wife deals with FedEx and UPS every day at her work and always says FedEx sucks. What's with them? My wife reminded me about a couple of weeks ago a package she was sending to a friend ended up with the same scenario at the same FedEx facility. It sat there for 4 days and then they handed it off to the post office.

Very nice! I like the wood bed and exhaust pipes. -
1:20 scale Tamiya Ferrari SF70H

Wow! Flawless. -
Didn't think of this until you pointed it out. Was a fan of Savoy Brown and an even bigger fan of Foghat. Probably because Foghat rocked more and they were my first concert I went to.

Asia with Steve Howe, Carl Palmer, John Wetton and Geoff Downes. Also liked GTR with Steve Howe and Steve Hackett. Couple of my favorite guitar players.

Tamiya 1/24 Taisan Porsche 911 GT2
TonyK replied to IanH's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Oh boy. I keep wanting to build mine but your model scares me. It's great and that intimidates me but I'll try and use it as a guide to try and do a decent job. Very nice model! -
Subaru Brat

Putting one together now and yours looks real good! -
Very happy to hear this for you. After leaving our home last week I can relate to your feeling. We are back to a "normal status" so hopefully you will get there soon.

At 3am we had thunder and lightning and hard rain like you wouldn't believe but I'm not complaining. Took the dogs out this morning and was finally able to breathe.....clean air. Hopefully the firefighters were able to dance a little and feel some relief.

Me three! Been predicting it all week and we're still waiting.

I've got a double live album from Bloodrock. They're so good but as you say, no one has heard of them.

I was thinking the same as stated earlier. Your diorama looks more real than the real thing. Don't know how that's possible except to say you're skills are amazing. Enjoyed looking at this.

My first attempt at BMF
TonyK replied to SCRWDRVR's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I think it looks great. You're off to a good start as I never got the hang of it. Tried it quite a few times with years in between and still couldn't do it so kudos to you! -
As a kid, Treasure Island, Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn were lots of fun because I could imagine being the young main character in each and the adventure they lived. Had the 7 novels of HG Wells and to this day think they were the best I ever read. That's about it for fiction as I mostly read every WW2 book I could get my hands on to learn from but did read some fictional WW2 books my Dad had.

Yep, a big reason why I watched The Avengers.

Well, Friday started off Badly. I had to put a dog down.
TonyK replied to stavanzer's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
So sorry for your loss. I can't fathom how I will survive without my 2 dogs. I always tell people they will live forever and that scares my wife wondering how I will handle it. Whenever I read about other pet owners and their loss it bothers me. That's how important they are to me and how I feel it must be for others as well. -
BMW 635 CSI Factory Racer
TonyK replied to zakdoggi's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Very nice. I remember building this years ago and was scared about the decals but it's Tamiya so everything worked out. Thanks for sharing. -
I've heard they're all busy too. What irks me is the tracking system. It's supposed to keep us informed where the package is and when it will arrive which is all good but don't tell me it's going to be on my porch on a certain date and then it isn't and the tracking report goes blank. Uhhhh what have you done?

Aoshima Food Truck
TonyK replied to BIGTRUCK's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Colorful! You did a nice job. I think I saw this online somewhere and thought about it but ended up getting the Ebbro food truck instead. First Ebbro kit I've done and it's going together well. Lots of interior parts and 3 figures so it's kind of like a diorama. -
For the last few days UPS had a delivery scheduled for me on Sunday the 6th. Sunday seemed a bit odd to me but saw a FedEx truck in my neighborhood yesterday so why not UPS? Even showed out for delivery from Portland Sunday. Nope. Today shows no info. WTF? Today being a holiday I expect nothing. Sometimes I don't understand the tracking system and it seems they all are guilty of this type of thing at one time or another.
