  1. In The Flesh - a BBC show with a very different take on zombies. Should have lasted more than 2 seasons, and at the very least, should have been given a proper ending. Santa Clarita Diet - same as above. Two and a half seasons, never got the ending it deserved.
  2. Knew it was coming, but still a surprise and a disappointment. Awesome actor. Real Genius Top Secret The Doors The Saint Tombstone And of course, both Top Gun movies. I thought his appearance in Top Gun Maverick was just perfection. Was awesome to see Tom insist on that scene. And in watching, you could tell it wasn't a scene between Maverick and Iceman, it was Tom and Val. So good.
  3. Just make sure it has no striations. 🤪
  4. Many years ago I did this same conversion. Bought a hood and grille from Shapeways, and built it to replicate one of the Matchbox diecasts I still have from my youth. I could do a better job now. I like your colour choices, and you did a much better detailing job that I did. 👍
  5. Took this early this morning. We had ZERO snow on Wednesday evening. I hate fake spring. Then went for a drive. As I type this, it's still snowing. Keep in mind, on Wednesday, we had NO snow.
  6. Looks great! Converting to the single rear axle definitely removes the weirdness from this kit.
  7. I think that's excellent. now I want one. I think the biggest box I've dealt with is the Revell London Bus. And I guess the Revell Cityliner bus, as it's the same size packaging. I have three of the London Bus kits and one Cityliner. They take up a lot of shelf space!
  8. What scale are you doing this in? It's pretty fantastic!
  9. This is VERY cool! You should post up some video of this blasting around your track!
  10. It's basically been confirmed. Not 100%, but all indications are that it's coming back for 2026 model year. https://www.motor1.com/news/754483/stellantis-new-hemi-v8-engines/
  11. Looks great! I did a similar build last year using the same body and the Ford F650 that Andrey sells files for. You did a better job with making the decals than I did.
  12. Definitely somewhere I've always wanted to visit. What would be even more amazing is somehow getting yourself into a private tour of the "archives" and see all of the cars not on exhibit. Imagine.
  13. Found more scans of the old Matador! Most from 1976. Some from '78, one from '77, one from '80. Would be amazing to track this car down. It probably rotted away in a field a couple of decades ago though.
  14. Turned out really nice. I have a couple of the Ben Hobby 936 Turbo Martini kits and have been curious about how they build up. Incredibly basic, but should look good on the shelf when done. Like yours!
  15. Currently 3 Celcius, overcast, snow is melting.
  16. My parents' old Rambler. Pic was taken in December 1973, when I was about a month old. Same car, but obviously not from December 1973. Was in the same tray of slides though, so here it is. Here's our old Matador. I think it was a '74. These pics are from early 1978. 1979. Just moved from Ontario to Alberta. 1981. In the backyard in the snow, next to our 67 Comet Cyclone. 1982 1983. I'm the goof in the hat.
  17. Yeah, these are definitely designed for the commercial market. Believe it or not, only 3 inches of lift over stock on this truck. Then added a lot of clearance to the front wheel wells; cut the fenders, firewall, cab mounts, front body mounts, etc. This one has a trailing arm rear suspension with air ride, but we have since upgraded to our own 4-link system with air ride. We can run these tires at 1 psi, giving us 5 psi of ground pressure, allowing this beast to "float" on snow. And last week, I found some late season snow in northern Alberta.
  18. My new work ride. This one will live with me for the next year or so. Or until someone buys it, then I get to build a new one for myself. 2022 F350 Lariat with our AT44 package. Those tires are 44" diameter, and 19.5" wide. The wheels are our new 3-piece aluminum, 17" x 15".
  19. Would just like to say that I have a dashcam, but I an NOT a cammer. Rules for being a cammer: 1. Horn before brakes, steering inputs, or any other reaction. 2. do not under any circumstance try to make life easier for another driver. Ever. 3. after any sort of infraction or incident, mash the throttle like you're drag racing. 4. Repeatedly yell that you "have a dashcam." 5. When using the horn, either use it for a minimum of 20 seconds, or start using the horn well after the incident. 6. when tailgating, remember that the camera makes it look like you are further away than you really are. 7. When being followed, remember that the camera makes the vehicle behind you look closer than it really is. 8. When submitting your video to any of the YouTube cam channels, make sure your spelling is incorrect.
  20. I think so? I remember it had a set of spokes that went over the wheel, but dad removed those pretty quick, and I don't remember them ever going back on the car.
  21. Spring 1976 - me and our old AMC Matador Our old 1967 Mercury Comet Cyclone This was the 1968 Plymouth Fury III that was supposed to be my first car. It was like Christine. We bought it, and dad was haphazardly fixing it up. Dented front fender first, then the front grille, then some side trim, then finally the rusty quarter panels. Then I turned 16, and my parents figured a convertible with a weak heater was not the best first car for a new driver. Darn them for being right. Summer 1988. Trip to England. Me and a Porsche. Again.
  22. I use a Thinkware F200 in all of our vehicles. Has a rear camera and a GPS module too. Super easy to use. Once wired up and running, it's basically one button. A sudden jolt or bump (as in an accident) will get it to save the previous 30 seconds of video and data. Or just push the button on the side. Info goes to the Thinkware app, which can then be downloaded or emailed. No need to remove a memory card and transfer files or anything. Video quality is at least 1080p. Have used this model for a couple of years now, with no issues. Readily available on Amazon, and not a budget breaker either. Of course, since installing them, I haven't really had anything worthy of recording or sharing. I guess that's a good thing!
  23. Fronts the New York Dolls. Has extensive career as Buster Poindexter. Lengthy acting career. I remember him as the cabbie in Scrooged. Still not very well known.
  24. 1976-ish with our Torino. First pic in our driveway. Second pic is me with the Torino after it was rear ended. That was the end of this car. And here I am in 1978, with our old Volvo. We're getting ready to move from Toronto-area out to Alberta. Me and a police car. 1981. Me and some Porsches. England, 1987-ish.
