Watched "Knives Out" on TV last night. It's a decent twisty murder mystery and it was 'interesting' to see Daniel Craig as private detective with a somewhat OTT 'Southern' accent. It's meant to be a comedy but the laughs are a bit sparse to be honest. The descriptions referenced Agatha Christie in its style but that was a bit thin, although there was the traditional 'get all the family together for a big reveal' moment. If you like a murder mystery then a couple of hours in front of the box with this should satisfy. And for petrolheads, it features a very nice BMW 3 Litre coupe too. steve

A fine build of a gorgeous car. steve

Other than Yorkshire where I live, Vancouver Island is my favourite place on earth. steve

Fantastic modelling. steve

? Thanks! steve

Yup. Same one. Cheers steve ?

In York just now. Not sure what it is but think French. steve

Each to their own, but that is just the sort of kit I like to build. steve

Whatever category it’s posted in, that is a superb model., with great attention to detail. steve

Looked equally immaculate inside too. steve

Love those old black & whites! Not what you wanted to see in your mirror as you cruised the highway in your jalopy… steve

Would love to get hold of one but doubt it will ever appear in UK outlets. Ordering from the US is possible but shipping would be costly. steve

I'll take the Saab 900 at the back any day. steve

‘lectric Porsche. First one I’ve seen. There was a Panamera in another part of the same car park. steve

A long time favourite of mine is The Driver, with Ryan O'Neal and Bruce Dern. O'Neal is a top getaway driver and Dern goes crazy trying to catch him. Lots of good car sequences, especially the one where he wipes out a big Mercedes saloon in an underground car park. None of the characters have names, which adds another dimension to the story. Another one is Repo Man. Totally bonkers but funny and weird at the same time. Stars Harry Dean Stanton and Emelio Estevez trying to repossess a Chevy Malibu that might contain aliens. steve

Yes, a couple of years ago. Didn't move me at all, found it to be meandering nonsense. steve

‘67 Roadrunner with big steelies, stripped out interior, roll cage and side exhausts. A lean, mean street machine with a late night vibe. steve

Did someone wonder what they could do with the contents of their spares box??? steve

It’s an Austin Maestro for those who might not recognise it. My Dad bought one of these when they were new. steve

A friend's front drive yesterday.Lotus Eropa S, plus, in the background, 2 x Caterham 7, one track and one road. steve

What is that wreck? steve

That LeBaron looks tiny next to those trucks! steve

Plus leather seats, wood dashboard and a bigger 998cc engine. steve

Chatted to the owner of this Riley Elf. He re-restored it recently and is now enjoying it. He also owns a Wolsely Hornet and a Mini Traveller. steve
