It was a great race, I love Spa. Listening to those cars going through Eau Rouge and stay at 19000 rpm for 23 seconds. AWESOME! The end of the race was a bit catastrophic. I agree that Kimi has seemed to have lost the spark. But Massa has it, I think he has a good chance of winning the champiomship. Hamiliton is just plain arrogant, his and Alonso's egos cost them both the champiomship last year. As for the best driver no one can hold a candle to Schumi, I used to love watching that guy drive.

New place to buy models
58 Impala replied to The Modeling Hermit's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Go to www.rocketfin.com and click on model car links. There you'll find a list of every model, accesory,resin part,photo etch, etc. You'll also find several good distributors of current and out of production kits. -
Definitely some nice work!

A Day with Fay.....
58 Impala replied to MikeMc's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Here in Melbourne we were doing the backstroke! 24" of rain! Boy were we glad to see Fay finally move, she stalled 4 times. Sorry for the folks north of us, I sincerely feel your pain. We would have been better off with a fast moving Cat I hurricane. To all the fellow Floridians on this forum who are still in the way, try and stay dry. -
Wow! Nice build! Great color and detail.

A Day with Fay.....
58 Impala replied to MikeMc's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Hope it blows hard enough here in central Florida to get a day off work and spend the afternoon building. -
Beautiful job! You've encouraged me to finish mine. I've got the same kit WIP, mines going to be blue. I also shaved the front bumper. How did you get the front that low? I've been messing with mine for a while, the back is easy to get in the weeds but the front is a different story.

That's the nicest paint job I've ever seen on plastic, It looks like a 1:1 showcar. That shine will blind you.

Beautiful job! Great color combo.
-
Very Nice! I'd love to have that 1:1 in my driveway.
-
WOW! Look what I got!

Very Cool! -
Hey Barbo, Sorry I didn't get to meet you. I was busy working and enjoying the show. I asked Delaun if you had showed up. He said yes and that you had left already. I'm glad you enjoyed the show. There was alot of nice models on display,the club worked really hard on the diorama to make nice. We're looking foward to doing it all again next year. 58 Impala

Barbo, You are more than welcome to put the flyers for your show on the registration table. We are more than happy to help other clubs advertise their shows. Anything to gain exposure and promote the hobby. Tom (58 Impala)

Just bumping the anouncement again. The show is less than 2 weeks away. Hope to se you there.

Nice! I'd defenitely drive that in 1:1.

I'm an Andretti/Green fan, they are all good drivers. I think Marco could have waited instead of giving Tony nowhere to go but up in the marbles. They're teammates for Pete's sake. Marco should have waited for the straightaway to make a run on Tony. They were doing almost 220 in the corners, things get ugly pretty quick at those speeds. I feel bad for Danica, she had a good car and would have finished well. It was a good race and I enjoyed it. Those Ganassi cars and drivers are the ones to beat, reminds me of the Zanardi/Vasser days.

Same here, I'm not really into lowriders. But I really like 58 Impalas. Very nice job, great detailing, nice color. Those 58's are definitely a BMF challenge.
-
Nice job! Love the paint job! I have a built original of that kit as well as a reissue. I always wondered how that kit would look as a normal Top Fueler. Now I know. I may have to try that someday.

How's everyones gas prices?
58 Impala replied to forthlin's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
$3.59-$3.65 here in central Florida, and it keeps creeping up. This rediculous inflation of oil and fuel prices is really slamming the economy. -
Nice job so far,you picked a nice car to copy. I like the wheels, they look good. I'm looking foward to seeing more.
-
Just bumping the anouncement reminding anyone who might be interested. Also another bit of info,our show area will be a diorama display area. We request no display stands or mirrors. We have plenty of room for the models. but not stands and mirrors. Another reason being, at the recent IPMS show in Titusville we had an incident where a stand was accidentaly dropped on someones finished model. Fortunately the model was repairable and was displayed, but it raised a bit of unecessary tension. If you attend the show, your cooperation will be greatly appreciated.

Indycar Season Opener At Homestead
58 Impala replied to 58 Impala's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It was an F1 game, but maybe it wasn't PS3. It might have been PS2, Xbox or Xbox 360, I'm so confused . My son probably has every game system in exsistance. I'll have to ask him which one, all I know is he has a steering wheel for the game which makes it fun. -
Indycar Season Opener At Homestead
58 Impala replied to 58 Impala's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Real racecar drivers do know how to turn right. All kidding aside, I do watch Nascar. I love all types of motorsports. My favorite Nascar races are Sonoma and Watkins Glen, I wish they would do more road courses. That is some fun paint trading to watch.
