Interesting..will have to watch the video..

So true... I couldn't imagine going back to Windoze...

I think viruses are mostly a problem w/ IE and Windows. I try and stick w/ Firefox, Sea Monkey or Chrome on a Mac..

Yes... wasn't going back that far for examples..early Saabs had them also.

I guess they are 'suicide' doors if people jump out while the car is moving, 'homicide' if you push someone out while the car is moving... As far as 'homicide' doors, I always thought the sliding doors on vans would be useful for drive-by shootings. Anyway, reverse-opening doors look silly IMO except for cars that came that way from the factory (like modern Rolls Royce 2drs and the '60s 4dr Lincolns)..

You miss the point. By the logic of separating General from Off-Topic, Gregg's pinned board admin theme posts should be in Off Topic also.

Well, blocking the ads kind of defeats the purpose of putting the ads in there...

Not sure, but at least he kept it relatively succinct rather than his usual lengthy monologues w/ references to Indiana..

General is near the top of the forum list, Off Topic is down near the bottom and you have to scroll to get to it... by putting it in Off Topic, they are hoping most people don't see it..

Probably the same differences the RoG version of the '06 Mustang GT had from the NA kit...the inclusion of European number plates. I like the RoG versions for the better box art but not the flat boxes.

Lots I'm looking forward to...the Fujimi McLaren F1 and Aoshima Rocket Bunny Toyota 86 (have those on preorder w/ my favorite Japanese dealer), Revell's 4th quarter releases ('57 Chevy Bel Air convertible, '69 Shelby GT500 convertible, '70 Cuda (hope this turns out better than the test shots looked), the '80s Camaro and Thunderbird Pro Stock reissues, the RoG VWs, and a bunch of AMT and MPC reissues...the '69 Chevelle convertible, '72 Chevy rescue van, '71 Dodge Demon, AMC Pacer in particular...

AdBlock Plus for Firefox blocks the annoying ads. (it also works w/ Sea Monkey which I use w/ a proxy to get around annoying corporate firewalls).

I haven't compared the parts trees w/ the RoG version I got a few months ago, but I assume they are the same except for the decals and box style. Builds RHD or LHD, 2 grille choices (Austin or Morris, I believe)....the US release has some US style license plate decals but no US style plates to put them on, as far as I can tell..

Sharp build..love those green '70s cars.

The only downsides to the MCW resin kits I've found is they don't have chrome plated parts like the Modelhaus does and they sometimes arrive a bit warped. But they are quite decent for a low price.

I pretty much always would go in Poor Richards for some pizza after shopping at Compleat...went there all the time when I lived in the Springs from '97-02 and occasionally when I lived in Denver '02-08 and tried to go everytime I was back in town since then. Up in the Denver area, my favorite hobby shop was Colpars in Aurora, though I occasionally went to a place in Westminster and another in Greeley.

Agreed on the Zephyr., Hupmobile, Graham...I'd like to see the '39 Mercury coupe. Also would like to see a '38 Ford..

Nah..anything to do with the Spotlight Hobbies board is a can of worms, best to not get into it..

Yes, it's modified from the stock issue because they added the radio. They probably ran the stock car kits and police kits at the same time and wanted to minimize the # of different trees..

The Dorks of Hazzard.

Probably because that modified parts tree is shared w/ the upcoming MK police car issue..

Sad to hear...I remember him from so many roles on tv and in movies..

Picked up my HLJ Fed Ex order...Tamiya Porsche 934 RSR Jaegermiester, Fujimi Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, Fujimi BBS wheel set (gray spokes), Ebbro '67 Lotus 49 F1 car, and 2 Fujimi Senna racing karts (the last 2 being late birthday gifts for my sister).

Anyone have pics of a built up one yet?

Not sure how the thread went from Pacers to minivans, but I'm definitely looking forward to the reissue of this kit...love old MPC kits.
