So. Can we now get a 1994-95 Ford Ranger with Coke Markings? If that is what it takes to get one, I'm all for it. Or a Ford Explorer? Or, Heck, the long rumored Bed Buggy?

Brittan-Norman Islander! One of my Favorite Planes. I love the Airfix kit, and wish Hornby would bring it back out again. Beautiful little 'Bird.

December will bring my wife and I, to the big 25. (at least 25 is Big for me) Not sure how I wound up with such a good match.

You said it better than I can, Jim. Drivers have 11 Hours to drive, and a Total of 14 Hours they can be on duty. And that 11 Hours has to be broken up with mandated Lunch and Rest Breaks. Electronic Logs (logbooks) are now mandatory and managing Drive Time is a HUGE part of every drivers day. Dispatchers and Schedulers, have to work within these limits as well. But, you know who does not know or care about all the rules and limits? The customers! They just want it now!!! Thus most companies are fudging the rules, just to keep business. Because, if your company won't bend the rules, another company will break them and underbid you for time and cost estimates. Thus, the legal rules are observed more in spirit rather than actual practice.

Ah, the Curley Shuffle! I remember it well!

Thanks, Danno. Clear, Concise Info. That helps.

Yes, it is a Three Stooges phrase. Curley said it. As far as What those kits have in common with the Stooges, the answer is, not much. But all are the right era for the Stooges, and I would hope that there are more Stooges Tie In kits in the future. I'm sure the vast majority of the Stooges kits sold, are still sealed, and sitting in collections across the world. Stooge-mania is huge, and these are prime Stooge collectables. Like the Coke Kits, Builders are really not the target markets for these kits. And, I am so glad of that. It keeps kits in production that I would not always see, and pays for kits that we might not get otherwise. As others have mentioned, Tom Lowe is an expert in these kinds of markets, and using them to pay the freight is sharp, smart business.

Great Build!

Nice Fix on the Exhaust Pipe.

Wow! That Colour really makes it Pop!

Nice Semi-TROG Build.

I'll be following this build. I have a pair of these kits, in the Chevy Version. I'd like to convert one to a GMC.

Thanks, Carl.

Very Clean Builds! Sharp, Clean, and great Colours!

I have a set of Red Alert Decals, to use on one of my builds just because of this kit. Those "Branch Motor Express" markings seemed just perfect to me. Thanks for the inspiration, Tim.

I agree on the steering wheel. It looks like the sprues are lousy. Not sure what else has you bothered. The kit looks okay everywhere else to my eyes.

Beautiful Paint job, and a spectacular build.

Great Build. The Colour Choice suits it well.

Neat!

Now, THIS is a Cool Build. Awesome Bodywork, and a fine stance.

Ohhhh Nice, Clean Build

Beautiful Colour, Beautiful Car. The whole Cuban Car backstory works well. I like the Build.

Yeah, that is what I'm thinking on mine too.

I like the Snowflake wheels. That build turned out, very nicely.

Yep. A Niche. And even then, it will take years, and millions of $$ to get them useful. I don't think from a Dollar & Cents standpoint that Self Driving anything will ever have a positive ROI. But, I'm old, now, and could easily be mistaken.
