  1. Yeah, that color would be nice. Nice one Mike, I have seen a few but yeah, not so good in the US, not sure why.
  2. Ok, here's a good one,
  3. Of course, Mclarens on my birthday From some of the shots I have seen, yeah weird indeed but can't wait to see what they will look like. Oh yes....me too.
  4. Love the color, love the idea, love the execution and it's amzing how well it fits. Those Celica's kind of look like Audi 80/90's
  5. WOW! I love it!
  6. No I haven't but i'll have to check it out. I love everythuing in your post but the sound is nice and rotaries do sound interesting especially going up a hill through the woods ooooo yes!

  11. This is pretty cool.
  12. I'll be watching for that GT40 Oh yeah! Well, how about that new Martini 935, I would love to see you build that.
  13. Oooooo, now this is a car I like that you never see built or in the drifting circuit, rarely. This ought to be good, good color. Not a bad drift. Dave, those are my kinds of vehicles Isn't that what they all did?
  14. Man, I hate you That engine and the brakes and the carbon fiber and the......!!!
  15. This is so cool. Love the color and the engine is nicely detailed.
  16. Wow I love Lola's and I love Judd powerplants, ehh I just love these cars.
  17. Lucky wow, that is so cool! Raul, wasn't it controlled by the driver and adjusted the downforce? I think they were experimenting with that one because with the C3 they had finally devolped a successful wing.
  18. Well, I can see we'll get along.
  19. That about sums it all up! Most have no motors, which most of the cars being built have some of the best motors
  20. I found another great article http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=htt...v%3D2%26hl%3Den
  21. I figured it looked like Accord lights, has S2000 tailights? That one looks like some Studebaker.

    My '08 Builds

    I love them all, especially that F430 and the Cuda and the RX7 and the Miata, and the.... I thought you built the Corolla too.
  23. I have a question...concerning probably the best race that ever graced the racing fans that didn't feel like putting all their money into a racing program....Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash. I have read and is still reading "Cannonball! World's Greatest Outlaw Road Race", probably my favorite book of all time next to Peter Egan's and Tom Cotter's. Lately I have been rewatching the documentary on the AKA Rally in '04 on True Life on MTV, videos on the Gumball rally (3000) and of course the Cannonball Run which has been mainly over in Europe and now this year in America, and even U.S. Express which followed the Cannonball Run. Over in Europe they aren't as uptight about these and it is an event to take part of. The thing that got me was what Brock Yates said in this article, http://www.caranddriver.com/features/colum...column/(page)/1 "There will probably never be another race like it. (I say probably.) But ######, it was fun. You had to have been there." How come we can't have one like the original? I guess I did have to be there, I wish I was, with the book and "The Gumball Rally", I would of loved it, probably my favorite movie. Apprently they are still strong becuase people participate. But why can't we have a Cannonball Run like the one in 71 with Dan Gurney and Brock Yates finishing it in that beautiful 365 GTB/4 in 35:54 at an average 80.8 MPH? Over 2,876 miles, making 9 fuel stops, getting 12.2 miles per gallon, and getting stopped by the cops only once and only taking 1 minute and 5 seconds, now, the ticket only cost $90. Many people bring up the speeding, but it's true, like in the movie, some of the people driving on the highway that are going 55 or under are actually more dangerous. One of the best paragraphs in the book was when Brock was describing the reason for getting the ticket when him and Gurney were flying on the empty highway in Arizona, they were going along I think they said close to 120 at night when Gurney all of a sudden spotted a Dodge and it started to chase them they thought of stopping at a gas station to lose him, so they were close, so they were quick, described as an Indy 500 pitstop with them switching places and they were able to get food, switch places, check tires and get fuel and race off before the cop even caught up to them. When the cop stopped them and was writing the ticket, he thought, he had to at least be going 140 to catch us, I quote from the book, "What really kills me about a deal like that is the whole absurd logic of high-speed pursuit. If we are being unsafe at 120 miles per hour, isn't he at least doubling the hazard by driving faster to catch us?" That's my point, so we can still have fun, as long as we follow the guidelines, if you read the book and seen Gumball, then you'll know what I mean, it should still be like the original and as fun with the same amount of ingenious. It is so unpolitically correct, I LOVE IT! Although we have the One Lap of America, which is GENIOUS but even so. But why do you have to pay for it? The Cannonball Run is close to $10,000 for entry! oh and Dan Gurney for President and Brock Yates for Vice President!
  24. Very well done, like the color combo and you don't see too many of these built.
  25. Second that, except, come to the NNL East too! Chris, I can't wait until you build one.
