  1. Same thing here -- mildly obnoxious. Whose idea was this?
  2. Christian Death with 75% of its original lineup (Rozz Williams, Rikk Agnew, James McGearty; Eva O. backing vox; George Ballenger -drummer, percussion- was absent from these reunion gigs). Christian Death - Dogs (Live - 1990) - YouTube
  3. Best version of this song (and the version on Warsaw). 20.09.1978
  4. Disregard that preceding post... Clipped/cropped ears indicate a spayed or neutered cat. Cats are highly revered in Japan (and, from what I've seen, South Korea as well, albeit without the folklore of the Maneki Neko [Beckoning Cat], which likely has to do with Imperial Rule from 1910-1945). There was Tama at the Kishi Station: a gorgeous Calico whose title and role was Super Stationmaster; her brother was there as well. Tama (cat) - Wikipedia
  5. You're only one can of Bondo away from achieving that dream.
  6. I'm sure that a special order (code '999') of Q5 or Q7 could've been fulfilled by Chrysler. From what I remember of these 1975 Road Runners (last year of the 'real' R.R., as it was relegated to an option package for 1976-1980), most of them were EW1 white or KY1 yellow.
  7. "Anyway, you can just call me Catlyn", Bruice Newton imparted during the interview.
  8. Nekoshima (Cat Island: Neko = Cat, Shima = Island). Oh, how I would LOVE to visit this place! Likewise, I would love to hang out in a Neko Cafe (there are many).
  9. That interior makes me want to take a shower! Yikes!
  10. Frampton, Peter, was in Humble Pie after The Herd and before his solo career
  11. Shaped of Things was a typo spotted by me on a bootleg VHS copy of a Yardbirds video selection
  12. IIRC, 1970-19?? was Oldsmobile Engine Blue Metallic for the 455; not sure about the 350.
  13. "Suck the tube until you taste Ethyl", said the biker to his old lady as they were siphoning gas from vehicles during the 1974 fuel crisis
  14. Alice In Chains Unplugged
  15. I made a poor attempt at an LS conversion back in 1986 when the kit --the regular coupe-- was new. I got as far as cutting the kit's SBC into a 4.3 V6, and attempting to recreate the LS's unique exterior parts. I was likewise hoping to see a stock Grand Prix, especially a 2+2, from then-Monogram. Nothing happened beyond the N.A.S.C.A.R. version.
  16. The Monogram Monte Carlo SS Aeroback needs to be reissued.
  17. Small Faces on Colour Me Pop (1968).
  18. Now that I think about it, the wheels did seem undersize compared to those presented on the built-up on the box. I don't recall what tyres it had; must've been those junky two-piece dungs. I don't even recall what tyres I used with them on my build of the AMT '53 F-100. However, they must've fit, otherwise I'd have abandoned them.
  19. I can only attest to the 1956 F-100: it did have the BBS-style wheels. I recall my installing them on an AMT '53 F-100; that they were moulded in that dark blue.
  20. !!! WOW !!! That is awesome! Did you shrink yourself down in order to paint that level of detail?!?
  21. I'd like to see a couple of things happen with the 1970 Road Runner (whose origins are the 1970 GTX): 1.) Put its interior in the 1970 Superbird (more common than the luxurious Sport Satellite/GTX interior in the existing -since 1988- version) 2.) Add the intake and carburetors from the 1971 GTX. Vastly superior to the blobs of the old Monogram setup (Super Bee, GTX-come- Road Runner) 3.) Custom wheels & tyres from the 2-in-1 1970 GTX (the moulded in blue release). Those were an absolute treat in the era of ad nauseam Centerlines and Cragar S/STs that the majority of Monogram's kits were flogged with. I love how the interior was revised to include the bench seat that most Road Runners were fitted with (e.g., standard interior), and the separate door cards are a nice touch. The decal sheet is great, too. That R.T.S. poster alone is awesome!
  22. That 80's rip-off called The New Monkees featured a car which was Mulletised. The first few hundred issues of the kit included coupons for hair mousse, gel, and Ultra-Hold hair spray.
  23. Many of the out-of-touch celebrities (redundant on my part) who're making asinine statements such as, "I own an electric vehicle, so I don't care if gas [ no mention of the costlier diesel fuel ] is ten dollars a gallon!". Well, that's good for you, virtue signalling twit. Just wait until the Per-Miles-Travelled taxes hit! Since the loss of revenue sources from gasoline and, to a greater extent, diesel, will disappear almost entirely, then new taxes will have to be implemented to make up for losses of said revenues. I'm also terribly worried about the looming vehicle wrecks and crashes of those E.V.'s. Talk about deadly explosions and gaseous vapour fires to be extinguished! Surely, those "teething problems" will subside with time, but still present a real danger in the meantime.
