That was funny Nick. Packers is my pick, but Detroit can play some good football if they want to. Aaron Rodgers needs to stay healthy and get over the creeping crud that slowed his game last Sunday. It will be the offense and rushing and passing that will beat Detroit . Detroit has a better defense right now. Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Davante Adams and Eddie Lacey all are good recievers and can get down the field.

watch out with that efficiency...the layoffs will begin.

What's the weight limit on that bike.?

Often considered the best aftermarket engines. condolences to his family

Wow, someone in the group must be into modelling.

You mean this car...no idea. Thought maybe a Chrysler product but it may be a customized dash.

Bubba, plus the bumpers on a 68 Chevelle have those ribs just under the headlights.

Our company could do the wiring harness if Revell called us.

2.35.9 here in Wisconsin.

I would have to say JoHan's Mercedes Benz kits.

Love Clairy Browne & The Bangin' Rackettes. She's from Australia and I met here in Chicago once. Hot lady. Great music.

I'm just learning to watch cricket. I do not understand it yet.

That is a cool thing to get licensed after passing the test in the first try. I guess driver tests are harder than here in the states. Be nice to the young lady and she'll be with you for a long time. Be nice to the GTI and the Ka, and they will be with you for a long time too. When out for a drive in the country, don't pull the old "Dear, the car has run out of petrol" thing...LOL

So the Gordini was made by ESCI as well? Strange...Heller kit, also sold by AMT in a double kit with the Alpine, then sold by ESCI....Impressive. I like the Gordini. I have a Heller one, but the body was short shot and missing part of the body.

I say good for him. The pics are clear enough to see any flaws, and people were willing to bid money. It's a win win situation where someone has a one of one build that NO kit maker or diecast maker ever made.

Article in one of the Hemming's publications. http://www.hemmings.com/mus/stories/2014/07/01/hmn_feature5.html It's alluded that the front bits came from a test mule. Could it be from that wagon?

I have a Chihuahua that will find any part you drop on the floor. It's up to you to catch the little bugger to retrieve the part you need.

Then there was this... http://assets.hemmings.com/story_image/540801-870-0.jpg?rev=2 http://assets.hemmings.com/story_image/540951-130-0.jpg?rev=3

There were slot cars of this.

But 50 years from now, they will be cherished buy a certain cadre of collectors as the Edsel and AMC pacer and Gremlin are today.

Yes, now that I finally obtained a decent version of this kit,(no glue bomb) Round 2 will see fit to reissue it. LOL. But i do need the girl (Kissy Suzuki) driver that originally came with the car.

I got an MPC Toyota 2000 GT today in the mail. I've been seeking this one out for a long time. Missing tires but not a hard thing to replace. Also was missing the girl driver figure...that might be a bit harder to find.

I had a rather innocuous 1978 AMC Concord two door coupe. Black on black on black. A beautiful car that spoke to me from the car lot it was being sold from. It had tried to kill me from the first day I bought the car. It got the name "Widow Maker". First day taking it home to reside with it's stable mate, a 1976 AMC Hornet X V8 hatchback. Brakes worked fine from the little dealership but failed the very last time I used the brakes in front of my house. A few days later it was nearly hit broad side by a farmer's truck pulling out of a drive way. During that first winter, you could not take it over 30 miles per hour in the snow, or she would get sideways. I fear she had been in a wreck and had the unibody structure repaired wrong sometime earlier in it's life. The other AMC, my Hornet, never gave me a bit if trouble in all it's time I owned her. BTW, sorry about the leg wound...but chicks dig scars... LOL

This method of buying a model is popular in Europe. Well, at least it started there. There were several builds talked about on Britmodeller.com . D'agastino is the name of the company doing a lot of this and are currently being advertised on the "other" mag's publication.

Pulling for ya, dude! Sounds like yer dad is a bit "tetched" in the head.
