  1. Stunning work!
  2. Are you looking at making wheels and offering them for sale? Or are you making files for 3d printing? Anyway, there are two I'm on the hunt for right now. First are the factory hubcaps for an AMC Matador. Second are the wheels for a new Ford F150 Lightning.
  3. Found this one cheap, cheap at a garage sale. Complete, still bagged, decals look brand new, not yellowed or faded at all.
  4. Welcome aboard, from the province next door! Looking forward to seeing you build that one. The type of truck I'm very familiar with on the roads around here.
  5. This intersection has its own YouTube channel. So many red light runners. https://www.youtube.com/@friantroulette
  6. Not enough. I might get in an hour a couple of times a week.
  7. Right, because it's the cops damaging all of these cars. Never has anything to do with the people who decide to run and cause accidents with the police cars. Or the twits who think it's cool to vandalize police cars. And these cars live a hard life. Powertrain failures don't surprise me at all. I'm actually surprised it doesn't happen more often. But no, let's blame the policemen themselves. They obviously think it's great fun to destroy the cars. ?
  8. Brand doesn't matter to me. The subject is far more important. But I do like how easily a Tamiya kit goes together.
  9. That's on my list too! I have a 1999 Tahoe LT that is now officially off the road and is my official project. When I start removing the front clip to repair some damage, I'll be doing hinge pins too. On a related note, If you want to trade the passenger side front fender for a pile of model kits, let me know. ? lolz That's the right colour I need, and I'm having a bugger of a time finding a fender that isn't rusted right out.
  10. This is excellent! I have a hard enough time finding room for 1/24 scale trucks, let alone a 1/8 scale! And now I want one.
  11. Actually...last October. I was in England for a few weeks and went to the MG 100th anniversary show at the Beaulieu Motor Museum and there was one there. If I recall, it was green. I'm sure I have a pic of it on the computer at home.
  12. Yeah, we drive down every year for the show. And there are always cars that weren't there the previous year. Keeps it different, which I like. And when was the last time you saw two Countach together? I'm not sure I have!
  13. Every July the Calgary Vintage European Car Club (or whatever the official name is) hosts their annual show. Weather is always hot and sunny. Lots of beautiful things to see. Arguable, the rarest and coolest car there. And he didn't clean it. And because the normal Mini is just too darn big...
  14. I really like this. Long time VW owner/fan, and have wanted a Mk2 Scirocco for ages. If you do decide to sell the files for printing, I'd be interested.
  15. Or just shut it down to the public, remove most of the grandstands and the large skidpad, build a nice big house, rent the open space to farmers, and enjoy your private race track. That's probably the better option, less paperwork, fewer rules, more driving as fast as I want.
  16. That Blazer is going to be a big seller for sure. I wonder though about the VW van. I love it, but hoping the price is significantly less than the recent RoG VW T3 van. It's a great kit, but not cheap.
  17. If that was local, I'd be in to that for sure. Taxes on a facility of this size would be quite large, so being able to pull in large events would be important. Still, keep the drag strip busy every weekend, try and get one event a month or the road course, plus renting the road course to various car clubs and driving schools... Could be fun.
  18. Man, 2024 is just on a tear the last week or so. Shelley Duvall Richard Simmons Dr Ruth Shannen Doherty Bob Newhart
  19. So for those of you into podcasts, I found a good one. Richard Hammond has one with his daughter, called Who We Are Now. In general, it's pretty good. But the newest episode is espeically interesting, as the guests are James May and Olly Raeburn, who is the president of Hornby Hobbies. They have a great discussion about why we build models, and why building models gets the reactions it does. I highly recommend this one! Here's the Spotify link, but I'm sure it's available on other podcast platforms. H

  20. What's that? Oh nothing...just a $300k Porsche GT2 RS parked on the side of the road. To be fair, we know this guy as we supply his company all of their trucks. They were paving their yard today, so all staff were parked on the street.
