  1. Nice. Shows the elegant lines of the original car perfectly. steve
  2. This was drawn for me by my 9 year old granddaughter, Harper. The words say “from harper your addicted to cats” That’s me in the middle with our 2 cats, Olly and Toffy. Olly has a halo and wings as she’s in heaven. (We lost her last year.) This drawing means a lot to me. steve
  3. Totally agree. I would rather build a 'Drag Strip Hot Rod' or 'Indianapolis Racer' than a new issue. Nostalgia is probably a factor I guess... steve
  4. I have, today, been gifted this collection of parts and built ups. There’s no way I will ever get through the parts and I have no use for the built items. steve
  5. Thanks. She’s called Toffy Age - Double figures at the very least. We got her as a rescue 10 years ago. The vet said 2-3 years when we took her in for jabs and chipping then. steve
  6. New bedding, old cat! steve
  7. A tool known in the UK as a Birmingham screwdriver… steve ?
  8. Great work x2 on one of the best looking cars the US has ever produced. steve
  9. Knowing his wife, he would be minus the Ferrari and most everything else if she caught him with another woman in it... steve
  10. I have a part built/stalled project version of that Lindberg Tub sitting in the 'one day I'll get it finished' pile. ? steve
  11. Next door neighbour rolled this out of his garage this morning. He complained about the lack of storage space in it. ? Good for 211mph it seems... steve PS Not him in the pic!
  12. A lot of vehicles turning round, because their drivers didn’t read/believe the Road Closed sign that warns the village’s river bridge is shut. steve
  13. I am slowly assembling a collection of 1/87 pre-1970 B&Ws. The Buick arrived today to join the other 3. Strictly speaking, if I want to have one on my North Michigan layout, it has to be the Mercury as it is just labelled as Police, whereas the others have specific force logos. Even the Merc is tenuous, as Michigan police cars were a darkish blue in my period, late 1950s. I’m looking for a 1957 Fairlane in 1/87 for better accuracy on the layout. Thanks for looking. steve

  14. That’s Eddie. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_(Iron_Maiden) steve PS Great build!
  15. Custom or stock? It’s like a 1970s living room. ? steve
  16. This was parked at my nextdoor neighbour’s house. Ferrari Roma. (I had to look it up.) steve
  17. Really look the part. Wouldn’t want to see either of those in my rear view mirror! steve
  18. There’s this one. https://www.oxforddiecast.co.uk/products/willys-mb-us-army-76wmb003 Or this https://www.rmtoys.co.uk/collections/jeep/products/deagostini-1-43-scale-diecast-12422a-jeep-willys-1947-green steve
  19. Now that is a very fine automobile. To me, the early Barracudas are the nicest looking. steve
  20. Is it a 1958 Chevrolet in there somewhere? Thanks steve
  21. I saw this on the road, as I was sat in it as a passenger hurtling round the local tarmac at incredible speeds! Blimey it’s fast and sticks to the road like the proverbial to a blanket. Roger, my mate and the owner, also has a sprint racer Caterham and has threatened me with a trip round a track in that. I have wanted a 7 since I was 10 years old but never had the means or space to own one. This was my first trip in one. steve
