  1. That LeBaron looks tiny next to those trucks! steve
  2. Plus leather seats, wood dashboard and a bigger 998cc engine. steve
  3. 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
  4. Watching my 3 year old granddaughter running around in the sunset chasing soap bubbles and laughing. steve
  5. Did the owner of the Imperial wear a fedora and carry a violin case maybe? steve ?
  6. Thanks @1972coronetJohn. Olly has had a some problems with her skin this year which aren't fully cleared yet. Thankfully she is much improved now, especially since she's been allowed back outdoors. We live in the country and she likes to explore the fields and the local wildlife! steve
  7. Olly assisting with the gardening this morning. steve
  8. Nice one. Haven’t seen one of them for years, due to the dreaded tin worm. steve
  9. Sorry for your loss Dave. Been there and know how it feels. steve
  10. It looks like what a toy generic American car from the late 1950s would be. steve
  11. That is really great work. I find these cars fascinating as there aren't really anything similar over here. One question, just wondering, does anyone ever build 1:1 road legal versions of Modifieds? Thanks steve
  12. When I built that kit in, I think it was, 1966, it was marked as Airfix on box. steve
  13. Examples of these fly over my house quite frequently. Odd looking things. steve
  14. @The Junkman Steve, UK registration numbers are allocated nationally by the Driver & Vehicle Licencesing Agency to the vehicle, not the owner. (Personalised plates are allowed but have to be part of the number plate register.) No numbers are duplicated. Each year new vehicles are given as part of the number, a year designation; there are 2 per year, every 6 months. For instance, the reg no of my Peugeot is WF55 XYP. The 55 means it was first registered in the second half of 2005. However, kit cars, rods and other 'specials' can apply for an old, out of use, number either from the vehicle on which the 'special' is based or another 'dead' vehicle. All that said, the car pictured not only has plates of dubious legality due to size and font (these are specified in the regs), it doesn't have mudguards/fenders. Also technically illegal. steve
  15. A rare beast over here, especially on the High Street of a small market town. steve
  16. A great score there Ace. Best looking steam loco of all time in my book, especially with those drivers. I had looked at the later MTH version but the price was out of my reach and anyway, my layout is too small for one. Good luck with your layout project. steve
  17. That Valiant. Hmmm...one flat, plus missing a hub cap and a petrol cap. Needs some TLC? steve
