That's why I think it could be a clay mock up, rolling stock and brakes look real, but the rest looks more curbside like. I still have no clue what it is though.

I'll have to look for that booth when I go, not expecting much this year though, it's been dieing out for the past couple years.

I'm thinking it's a model, probably a large scale prototype (clay perhaps?), I'm just not too sure what it's a model off

Found a version that is still on YouTube guys!

The HTU I work for started to carry these micro lego animals and we have a built up pig on the counter and we were joking about if we should call it Arnold (Green Acres), Ned (as in Beatty), or now after this weekend Darryl or DW!

You know Chuck, I almost wonder if that could have been aimed at the young teen market. IIRC I was in high school when that came out and it did almost seem too mature for younger kids even then.

Funny you mention that Ron, we had a customer that was asking if we could get models of a '59 Dodge as well as the early 60's Dodge Lancers today. Not sure what is worse, telling somebody that the car they're looking for hasn't been made in decades or that there likely isn't enough interest to create a model of one (as I'm standing next to a shelf with a bunch of different '57 Chevy's, Early Mustang's and Camaro's, '32 Ford's on them )

I'll still watch Phineus and Ferb as well as Kick Buttowski, but not much else any more. Used to love the Batman cartoons that were on in the 90's, especially the streamliner like Batmobile and all the art deco vehicles they used. Also used to watch Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, South Park, Simpsons, and Futurama all the time but haven't had the chance to any more.

If you're willing to get rid of them for cheap, try having a garage sale, I did that with a bunch of mine a few years back and all but gave away a few on here a couple years back.

Found the video of DW in that car, not the cleanest language...but then again, I'm sure his underware was cleaner when he got in that it was when he got out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr1a81v-zsg&feature=player_embedded

I was able to watch most of it and those last few laps were intense no matter who they were showing! Hopefully the video of DW trying not to soil himself will be posted in it's entirety, I'll bet some of the original NASCAR racers wouldn't squeal like he was while riding around that track.......

From the way Darryl Waltrip was talking during his ride around the track, That sounds pretty accurate! He may have needed to scrape his underwear clean by the time they returned to the pits....... LOL!

Come to think of it, Seeing a Charger mixing it up with the Falcons and Monaros would be pretty freakin' cool!

Funny you put it that way Rob, a lot of people here who prefer F1 and Rally have that same opinion of NASCAR fans. Bathhurst does sound a bit like Road America though......only the race cars actually resemble what they're supposed to be instead of stickered up jellybeans.

Yea, I've read that he wasn't well liked by anybody who delt with him on a work basis and supposedly admits to stealing other peoples ideas, improving them, and then selling them as his own.

Over murals? What are they looking for....besides money?

What Bill said!

Geez, you could buy the re thing for that!

If you can fart surrealistic as well.......please keep it to yourself.......lol!

I could live without the cold and snow........not sure if I could deal with the humidity and park flier sized mosquitos though..............lol!

I always figured Pocher was pronounced poacher kinda like the type of cooked egg or illegal hunting. Tamiya I've heard pronounced Tah-My-Ya, Tuh-My-Ya, and Tammy-Ya, me it's usually "They want what for a curbside?!"

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a moebius strip?

Not sure myself, I've been pronouncing it Moe-bee-us.

Got around to starting the putty work on this, a Revell '48 Ford sled, and that '65 Wildcat sled I started a while back too. Productive day off, huh?

Thanks for the info Dave, thought those things looked kinda pointless.
