What did you see on the road today?
carsntrucks4you replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I agree even when the engine is idling the sound is incredible. When they did the 6:52 lap time on the Nürburging it was sometimes over the noise limi t on the track 🤩. When the blower starts whining it sounds like hell on a way 😍 -

The 1958 - 1968 Austin Gipsy was a direct competitor to Rover's Land Rover. Like the Land Rover it was aimed to be sold on military and civilian markets. A petrol 2.2 l or a diesel 2.2l engibe were available. The car in the picture is a G4M10 built from 1965 -1968. The last series (G4M) can be identified by the spilt grill compared to a single grill in the first series G1M or G2M .

At the time of the Austin Kimberly - Austin Tasman (X6) being launched onto the Australian market it was quite an advanced design in comparison to the other competitors like Ford Falcon , Holden Kingswood and Chrysler Vailiant whose rear-wheel drive, conventionally sprung underpinnings dominated the market at the time. However, the complexities of front-wheel-drive were an issue against the car, and compounded with the lack of body variations and models, the X6 was never a serious threat to the dominance of the rear-wheel-drive and multiple-body Holdens, Fords and Chryslers. From 1970 - 1972 the successor of the Austin1800 were build in Australia and New Zealand (As a Morris Kimberly or Morris Tasman). Powered by a 135 cui inline 6 from the Austin Maxi the main body work of the Austion 1800 were used along with a new design front and rear section. The correct answer were sent in by: thatz4u Matt Bacon Ace-Garageguy Earl Marischal Fabrux ChrisR (sorry for this) Congratulations

When do you want to come to Germany? We had our show on June 21 in Bruehl/Germany There are a several shows here in Germany. Here is a link with a few general scale modeling show dates: https://www.modellversium.de/modellbau-termine/ From my experiences the follwing shows a worth a visit: Sep. 20/21 - 34. Modellbauausstellung des PMC Main-Kinzig (Military/Planes/Figures/Cars/Trucks) Sep. 20/21 - Modellautoausstellung in Hanau (Cars/Trucks - The best cars and truck show in Germany) 0ct. 30 - 30. Jahresausstellung des PMC Saar (Military/Planes/Figures/Cars/Trucks) Oct. 25/26 - 16. Modellbauausstelllung des Modellbauclubs Koblenz (Military/Planes/Figures/Cars/Trucks) Regarding the big shows: The Intermodellbau is mainly a show for railway modeling, rc-models. There is only one club that shows scale models like car, trucks, planes. I had organised a club booth for my local club at Intermodellbau for a couple of years. But over the years plastic modeling had dropped down to a minimum so that isn't interesting for me anymore. But that is my personal opinion. If you have never been to the show yes it is worth to spend a few hours there. More plastic modeling is represented at the Fazination Modellbau in Friedichshafen. This show has also modellers from Switzerland and Austria as participants If you need more information you are welcome.

This truck is Australian made 1953 - 1955 International AR-130 Flatbed. The International R-series was introduced in 1953 and replace the L-Series. The AR-Series was the Australian version of the R-Series. To be fair only 2 answer that I got said International AR the other day said International R. The difference between the AR-Series and the R--Series are hard to tell except for RHD or LHD. Sometimes I mirror the picture in our quiz to make guide you in a differetn dicretion. Theref or both answers are accepted. The correct answer were sent in by: thatz4u Ace-Garageguy Tim W.Socal otherunicorn ChrisR DonW TarheelRick Fabrux Well done

This is a 3 D Model of the V12 Hall Scott engine. The KW is an old Dan's Models KW 500 Series ind a piece of s... frame from Dan's Models. To build the KW with the V12 Hall Scott ithe cab has to be widen because it is a three seat ca. The hood must be longer than the one from the I6 engine. The original truck was fuel tanker. I have one very dark picture of the rig. It was destroyed in an accident. Project is currently on hold due to some issues with the interpretation of pictures of the original engine. Stephen I'll led you know when the engine is finished. -
