  1. Yeah, and it's one of their (Ferrari's) weak tracks, and it's near impossible to pass at Monaco. Now he has not one but two red cars in front of him. This could spell trouble for Mclaren at Mosport where Mclaren has been dominate in the past also. You know what Hamilton problem is? He doesn't know how to set up his car. Who do you think help him set up his car last year?
  2. Did you see the look on Hamilton's face after qualifying. He looks bedazzled.
  3. no, they say is was copied from Tatra.
  4. Mercedes? Actaully I think it has to be a Pre Type 38 KDF --- Porsche type 34-36 built by KDF. I found a Type 36 Cab AKA as a V2. It's a VW V3 Versuch, or "experimental" (a military designation) version, which was designed by Dr Porsche and built by KDF. It was later redesignated to a VW V30 and the production model was a Type 38. The NSU was more square. Who can tell me where the name Mercedes comes from without looking it up?
  5. got ours weeks ago. Got an Iwata AB.
  6. Any other unidentified strays?
  7. that's funny, yup. This particular one is an M61.
  8. We already know it's a GAZ, what model Gaz is it?
  9. That is what AM stands for....
  10. if and if it were to happen it could. Porsche owns: -Porsche -VW (~31%) Volkswagen owns: -Audi -Bentley -Bugatti -Lamborghini -SEAT -Skoda -Volkswagen And VW is VW Europe VW US & Canada VW Mexico VW South America VW Asia-Pacific VW South Africa Toyota owns: -Daihatsu (~51%) -Fuji Heavy Industries -- Subaru (Toyota owns ~20%. Toyota bought this from GM in late 2005. ) -Isuzu (5.9%, announced 7 Nov. 2006) -Lexus -Scion -Toyota They sell a lot of VW world wide. I read somewhere it's the most popular car in Japan. Go figure. The first thing is overturning the "VW Law" which I think happened in EU Court recently, and the appeal to try and block the sale has been denied. Porsche has also secured 13 billion eros to seal the deal, which would position them right behind Toyota. Not that they would ever consider it, but just think what they would do if they went to NASCAR.
  11. They dumped so much money into their motorsport program they nearly went OB. That is when Ford got envolved and bailed them out.
  12. I knew you would get, yup the union of the four companies that make up Audi, which is now obviously owned by VW, which may soon be all owned by Porsche, who said, "We want to compete with Toyota to be the worlds largest manufacturer." Not sure that is going to happen or even if it such a good idea.
  13. okay smarty pants. how bout the four rings of Audi.
  14. It is the ONLY Japanese manufacture to win overall at du Mans and almost gone bankrupt doing it, too. Nissan tried and failed Toyota tried and failed Honda tried and failed maybe Accura but I don't think there car is reliable enough (they say there are a little flimsy and body work plicks off easily), nor do I believe it will be able to be competitive with the LMP1 diesels of Audi and Puegoet I think the others are afraid to even try.
  15. you'd be surprised.... not many know.
  16. Rotary Engine Pick Up
  17. Any one want to take a crack at what RX stands for? How bout MX. This is still the ultimate Rotary, people still say, "man, that has a radical cam in it." LOL
  18. There is a single headlamp model that really looked mean. Just can't find a pic now.
  19. Yes! it's a REPU. I think they may have be raced. Some years were mean looking little things. The RX3s and 4s too. I miss my 4, which was a wagon to boot. Any one want to take a crack at what RX stands for? How bout MX.
  20. I had a little chat with him also. It seems ligit to me.
  21. Come on guys. This shouldn't be that hard to figure out. If it is what it is said to be all he has to do is provide the hospital information. The hospital, news media, and other groups are always hungry for this kind of publicity and there shouldn't be any reason to keep it a big secrete. This kind of stuff happens all the time. The hospital is always published. If he cannot even provide basic information about the hospital, I’d say you all been had. Otherwise it's a huge opportunity for the modeling community. My personal opinion is one of suspicion. I don’t know if I am right or wrong but that’s my gut feeling, which is usually yourbest indicator.
  22. since we're on pickups...
  23. I don't doubt that any. Premier also had one in 1903 I'd have to go back and do some digging, but IIRC a German Dr of Enginerring had drawn plans for a hemi engine before Karl Benz built the first Gasoline engine in 1889.
