Joe Handley

Always thought it was funny that he was the only one of the three that didn't actually have a beard. Any of you guys ever see pics or video of the before the beards? I swear Billy Gibbons looked Elwood Blues in one old concert I watched on YouTube.

I seem to remember that was Daimler's idea. IIRC they thought Chrysler's best products were it's trucks, so all of Chrysler's vehicles should look like trucks and should sell better because of it.......... Does that kind offend anybody else?

I'll bet all they were looking at was the car and plane kits themselves, they probably didn't even think somebody would notice things like period incorrect box art or even the kit itself (as in using the Revell Charger instead of a General Lee or F&F Charger.)

I've seen Micheal Gross a few times at IHobby over the past few years, Bachmann includes dvd with somd of their train stuff that hd is in as a host. I've also heard that Joe Perry from Aerosmith is also s big train guy too. I didn't know Bruce Dickenson was jnto trains too, he is a big time plane person like John Travolta though. I've heard he actuallt flies for a major airline.

The Dart name could very well be more appropriate on this car than it was on those that have carried that name in the past, especially if all of them are strong performing cars and not just the higher end models.

Eh, my first thought could still work, and even if the "i" was left out it could work. (Forgot how his name was spelled too.)

I like it and if it's upsized for the US market, I might actually fit in it too! They need that too, wonder if it will be a reworked MiTo or 500 then........

Actually, if placed on the right vehicle, the Aries name would fit right in with all of those. Remember, not only was that the name of one of the cars that helped save Chrysler the last time around, but it's also the name of the Greek God of War

I hope so! Which means it's got a snowball's chance of happening Gotta agree here, they really need real replacement for the Neon than a niche car that would rob sales from the Charger and Challenger.

Ummmm, forget real or model, what is it

I'm more curious on how long the tires will last, I've personally blown apart and burned down tires on my stuff and have seen and heard many more stories like it over the years.

Gotta go with the Jesse James bike here too, the PJD bike looks uncomfortable to ride if not dangerous to boot, the OCC thing was just plain wild, but looked more like a Decepticon than a bike, trike, or snow mobile, While Jesse James' bike looked like something that could be ridden to work on a regular basis and still look "classy" and have a bit of a vintage cool look.

Things like this post from the Ferrari wreck thread does an exellent job of summing up my thoughts.

Seen that before, even think I had a clunker like that knock rust off my clunker from 30 paces.

Wow, and I thought the solid gold 1/25 '63 Stingray was pricy at $250k!

Wouldn't have been easier to go and pick it up? Ditto!

This isn't nice, but there is an ice cream truck that it would be nice if somebody took that to it's speaker.

Hey Doug, I'm working on that with RC truck I posted a couple weeks back. It's being built from spare, second hand, and recycled parts and will be wearing an early 60's hearse body that the manufacturer calls The Grave Robber

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I did do a double take when I saw it.

Well, those things had a habit of rolling over as it is, put that kind of motor in it and it might flop on it's side when you stomp on it

Don't know, the Venom 5000mAh 2s LiPo in my Stampede VXL will go for about 30 minutes and the Thunderpower 4400mAh 3s pack runs nearly as long, but available power in that battery makes the truck insanely fast and undriveable........well the Thunderpower batteries I own have that effect on what ever they get run in.........

Well, that explains why it looked like a Cord......yet didn'...........

Well, we might have less of a chance of getting a stinker kit rereleased now that somebody who gives a rats rump about our market is in charge of things!

Well Peter,my only concern is, after having people come in with destroyed trucks from racing with friends while working on a keg or somebody automaticly buying one for a child because "They're a smart kid" or have considered a Radio Shack r/c sufficent experiance so thet think they can automaticly operate a hobby grade car that runs 50mph or more. We've already talked at work about unlocking the car's full potential for iDeviceless customers and have so far decided against doing so for liability reasons.....plus we all own Android phones anyway.

R2 had been reproducing the older AFX stuff under the Autoworld name for years now and using current AFX tracks and controllers with their sets, I was just sorta curious on the AFX front since Tomy owned that too.
