Joe, that is well said! I usually don't comment on stuff like this, but you really got it right in my unhumbled opinionated opinion, with onions....

This magazine would not have been made possible without the benefit of Steve Wozniak's invention. I told that to Woz back in 2002, and now talk/email with him about two-three times a year, and he is a great guy. (I know, not what you expected to hear, sorry). It is sad that Steve Jobs passed away, he has influenced so many with his vision and work for Apple. Also, his passing has made me, and my other half, take a better look at our overall health. He was not much older than both of us, and even with all the money in the world, he still succumbed to one of life's biggest killers. His passing is a wake up call for us.

No joke. This was one of the cans that our own John Oszajca got from Hobby Town in Vegas

It needs our very own Bob Dudek aluminum front end, for sure!!!!

Here's the pics of the new '25 Ford Model T with the Tall T and T-Bucket options. I love it! My kit had none of the issues that Rick had, I wonder if it was a one-off? For all the photos, check out: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/AMT670/

Actually want something that goes the other way, F8 is probably the minimum. I will look around and see. What is the price point, around $300?

The only thing I don't like about this one is that it doesn't seem to be able to do a manual or aperture priority mode shot, and the F-Stop is only 5.8, which is not great for shooting models. I always look at Steves-digicams.com for reviews of cameras http://www.steves-digicams.com/camera-reviews/nikon/coolpix-l120/nikon-coolpix-l120-review.html

Enough of this off topic and bickering. I pulled out my old IMC '48 that I built years ago, and started to take apart to redo after I got better at building (no wonder nothing ever gets done.....). I'll post pics of it soon. Interesting seeing the two together.

Since I got bit by the Slot Car bug, I added a slot car category to the eModelCars.com auction web site http://www.emodelcars.com/Slot-Cars,category,1956,parent_id,categories

For everyone who responded here, please see Glenn Marek at the show for your MCM Badges. Sorry I won't be there!!!

Thanks, Casey. I put it on my watch list. The 1/18 one is cool too, but a little bit too small. Although You could probably get a lot of diecast parts for it. May be something to check out too. Thanks, Randy also

It's too early for you guys to be drinking.....

Yes, the Carrera track is 1/24, which is what I have. Bought two sets a long time ago, and look for bargain blow out deals on corners, etc. on eBay every once in a while.

The link worked. That's good to know. I haven't seen a video link besides YouTube. Thanks

Casey, where did you get the R/C car/kit from? Do you have pic of the box or a link? I love it, and it's 1/16!!!!

David, we can always talk like me: "Eh, no stay work!"

Heh, we call that a tan....

The upgrade did not take last night, it will happen tonight, Thursday (hopefully) at midnite, EST.

I think the fun here has made some people a little upset. I love a good joke, now and then, and like to hear new ones. These have seemed to gotten out of hand, and I will be closing the thread. Some where funny, some real punny, and thanks Marc (FujimiLover) for giving us all a little laughter in our day.

I will be upgrading to a bigger/faster server tonight, midnight, Wednesday September 28, 2011, EST. It will be down for about 15-30 minutes while everything is switched over and repopulated. Hopefully this will fix all the problems.

Yes, but PayPal's fees are on a sliding scale. The best way is to send as a Gift, which I have done to my son many times (too many times....) That way, they don't take any fees out of the transfer. George, unfortunately, travel is over for the unforeseeable future. I may go up to Seattle for something, but that's another issue/story for late (right Mikee?,,, ooops, sorry, Mike...)

Thanks, guys. for eBay, it's ModelCarsMag, of course. And not to be mean or anything, but if you donate $1, PayPal takes $.35 if you don't do it as a gift. That's why the donation link wasn't good for small donations. It's not worth it

I went to a higher VPS level for the server, and hopefully, this will fix the reboot and server load problems. The chat has been activated again, and I will keep an eye on the logs both for the chat and the servers. If it still causes errors, then the next upgrade for the server will be the last. After that, it gets into the level where I may have to seriously look at hosting it myself somewhere else. The best would be to host it here, but then I would have to redo the whole home/office set up, and that would not be nice. If you guys want to help out, you can make a Gift Donation through PayPal to gregg@modelcarsmag.com Or, if you want something in return for your hard-earned $$$, you can purchase some of my kits on eBay and eModelCars. I will be uploading more kits in the next few days, and that would help out in the short term. I do appreciate all the discussions that have gone on regarding this situation. After talking to Harry, I will be looking into starting a Google Ad Words campaign, which would probably put ads on the side of the forum. It's not want I want to do, but I have paid for this forum and web site out of my own pocket for over 12 years. But, the site is too big now, and it's time I sold my soul to Google...... Oh yeah, fair warning, if after reviewing the chat logs, it is determined that you are creating a hostile environment, making degrading or derogatory comments to anyone on the forum, your account will be deleted and you will be banned permanently. I am not going to give any second chances on this.

I like that Bluefin started selling them with the Left Hand Drive dashes. Nice build. Still have a few of them in the storage to build one day. One was finished, but have to repaint it. I like the shaved look, may have to do that also.
