  1. U.K. is on me list of places I'd love to visit and explore some day (would have to brush up on my Cymræg though...)
  2. Then there's Tama Tama (cat) - Wikipedia who was Super Stationmaster ( wish that I could've met her ).
  3. At the risk of my picking fly poop out of pepper - I agree regarding the subpar details of those rims... especially since Round2 went through the trouble to newly-tool them. Conversely : I'm sure that many will simply cover those centres with the included hubcaps, and barring that, will seek aftermarket / parts box replacements. Ne'er-the-less, a small 'issue' in the overall theme. Absolutely better than paying $1,000,000,000 for an original.
  4. "Goes for the win !", exclaimed Nguyen when he was standing in the wind
  5. I'm hoping that @Snake45 will chime in as well (not to diminish the others' contributions) .
  6. Style and class - I like to see a gal wearing glossy vinyl pants
  7. I'm rather fond of the en masse SUV's and sedans which are painted - what I call - East Berlin Grey or Iron Curtain Pearl . Talk about "inspired" or inspiring ! Bright paints on new(er) vehicles looks off to me ; resembling something like a Happy Meal toy or some-such.
  8. YOU MAKE ME _______________ , was what was scrawled across Richard Hell's chest on the cover photo of The Voidoids Blank Generation
  9. I was just wondering to myself the other day, I haven't seen anything recent from @mrmike - maybe he'll start a new project soon, I hope. , then I see no less than two W.I.P.'s here ! Not sure as to why I haven't pulled the trigger on getting one of these kits yet, especially since it's : - One of my favourite cars (G.M. A-bodies in general, but esp. the Olds) - Transmission options - Wonderfully detailed Definitely following, my good man !
  10. "Torbie" (portmanteau of "Tortoise Shell" and "Tabby") is likely the 'proper' - and actual - nomenclature Brie's marques. Beautiful tri-colour ! Here's another Oly photo, 27-5-2014 :
  11. "Camel Hump" SBC cylinder heads are highly desirable
  12. Child of the Universe , giving freely of herself
  13. Units of measure can sometimes be confounding
  14. 1/1 scale bird poopin' on 1/25 scale car every time
  15. Blues Festival whose entitlement was Benson & Hedges Blues Festival in June 1990. Featured many of my favourite artists / performers : - John Lee Hooker - Cab Calloway - Stevie Ray Vaughn (one of his last performances) - Dr. John And that's just from memory ! Second best ? Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives , 15-04-2022 , La Mirada Theatre . Marty - who happens to own and curate and play the hell out of Clarence White's Parsons-White B-Bender - and his band play more than Bluegrass . One of the finest renditions of the Count Five Psychotic Reaction ever ! Their version of Pretty Boy Floyd is pure dynamite ! Then there were the numerous Punk , Psychobilly, Bluegrass, Electronic, and Deathrock shows back in the late 80's / early 90's.
  16. One of the most attractive physical features of our feline friends : that permanent smile !
  17. How far away is the Joshua Tree Inn from you ?
  18. Los Angeles suburb originally ; now in "Chorizo Valley" ( southwest Riverside County region - think : casinos ). Really, like er'ry one else , I originally came from a positive chemical reaction.
  19. I'd like to see Tamiya offer a line of body colour paints for U.S. models (e.g., Chrysler GB5 blue , Grabber Green , Monaco Orange, Big Bad Blue, etc., etc.) in aerosol and bottle.
  20. I understand your ire , @Justin Porter. While I'm not a business owner, I definitely empathise with your and your fellow independent business owner / operators. That's one of the reasons why I buy local / independent as much as possible (at the risk of virtue signalling). Certainly, the store I've ordered my copies from (along with the '60 and '63 F-100 kits - multiples of each) won't be getting them anytime soon ; but, I can wait.
  21. How in the devil did 'mart get the LM29H1 before anyone else ?
  22. Thanks much. Any idea what state/ region that feller lives ?
  23. I'll have to take a closer look then. I live in California, so , in theory, I should be able to find them on 'Mart's site. A cursory examination earlier today didn't exhibit the 1971 Demon 340 - that's why I was wondering if you saw them in person or on their site.
  24. Have you seen them en vivo , or on their site ?
