  1. It looks to be a 53/4 chevy. The top of the doors are a little different at the front edge than the olds, having a more pronounced widening below the window. I think the revell 53 chevy delivery might be a good starting point and less work than the olds around the headlights and grille area
  2. our tow trucks dont lift the cars, we mostly flat tow so the tow eyes are needed here. although most recovery companies use sliding flat decks now
  3. around here we're aflicted with the most dangerous and oblivious form of pedestrians. we call them wombles but most places call thm tourists. they dont have any sense of self preservation instinct. they will happily step out in front of cars for that one perfect photo. they'll walk into businesses like its a tourist attraction and their allowed to be there. to stop them getting on my work boat, we use a wet paint sign cos the staff only one obviously didn't mean tourists. theres a liner every day this summer (270 carrying at least 3500 each) and at least 4 people a week will get hit by cars
  4. Its not so much about driver ability, how many times have you seen some idiot pedestrian paying more attention to their phone than surroundings end up one or two steps away from a darwin award. it doesn't matter how good a driver you are if someone steps out a couple of feet in front of you
  5. The audi is available for pre order now, i have a couple ordered and i can see the e90 ending up in the stash too
  6. I saw one of the 2022 hyundai ioniq 5 in the supermarket carpark today. It stood out from the other cars without having to put an ugly grille on the front. It was quite an attractive futuristic looking car and even in gray like every other car it stood out for the right reason imo. I had to go online to find out what it was when i got home. obviously this is just my opinion but its been a long time since a car stood out for looking good different or even just standing out
  7. just pump a little out of the pen and use a brush, it seems to work better but it dries fast so only put a little out at a time.
  8. theres engine available that fit right in the bug
  9. It looked like it did Snake also, what are the red flashing lights in the background shots. They dont seem to be car lights as they aren't moving
  10. Just watching the episode now. the noises tricia was making inside the car were awful to hear.
  11. My worst was bmw e21 3 series. it looked ok until i put it on jackstands and they went through the floor. If i wasn't out from under it to answer the phone i wouldn't be here now
  12. that other burt movie, with the red trans am about a stuntman. the name is slipping me just now.
  13. I find the 2mm seems to be easier to control but mostly i just pump a little out of the pen and use a brush. You have to work quick with it but i think it works better with less chance of missing little bits. If you do miss a bit with the pen or brush you need to leave it for a week before touching it up or else it'll no look right.
  14. The cat finally did a pee. He is very lucky he did as he was due to be put down in the morning because of not peeing. Its all due to some nerves that run through the cats pelvis that control peeing and if its not working they just dont go and die painfully from poisoning so it was the only kind thing to do. thankfully he's going ot be ok and they can oporate on his pelvis on monday. I think he's used a more than one life this time.
  15. netflix should be in the app store
  16. I think its down to hand done art having flaws that somehow add to the art. digital tends to not have those flaws. maybe the flaws are what gives it flavour. I'm not sure if flaw is the right word but I'm sure you know what i mean, its something intangible. sorta like an extra layer to the art that was unplanned
  17. is that the other forge mk1?
  18. In the 1/1 world those are called bbs rs. They came in 15, 16 and 17 inch versions and are a expensive wheel these days. They were also available in centrelock version which were mostly 16 inch and 8inch wide to fit the common slicks at the time. There are a lot of variations from bbs on the mesh design but rs are the ones vw guys hunt out. A rebuildable set can cost upwards of a grand, and I've seen rebuilt sets going for over 7500. Everything except the centres is still being reproduced. They were also an option wheel on bmw and vw. The amt scirocco has a set of these included along (that just need a wash with tamiya smoke to look decent) with stock scirocco rims. The tamiya sierra cossie has a similar set but rs were never made in 19inch so they may have been super rs but i believe those were a much later rim. In the vw fwd world these would be like cragars or american 5 spokes on muscle cars
  19. its his pelvis broken and apparently this is what kills them, not the break.
  20. have you tried buying from sony direct? thats what I'm planning to do and i only want it for gt7 and maybe just cause or gta
  21. he's still not pee'd but he has eaten some food from my sister today. I'm still hopeful
  22. Man thats sweet, you got me hooked with the first pic. nice job on the diffuser and hood
  23. sunnys been xrayed today and the break is fixable. But they cant do anything until the he pees. If he doesn't pee it might not be good news but I'm hopeful. The vets here are good so I've got everything crossed. The same vets uncle fixed one of our previous cats that was in much worse shape and she lived another 14 years. sunny is only 2 and a half so hopefully his youth helps
  24. thats the one, my mind went blank when i tried to mind hid on
