  1. Don't like the wheels at all (design or size). Love the colors inside and out. But what's going on there with the headlight area?
  2. The leaves are just barely starting to turn here... still about 98% green. But remember... in a week it'll be October! Seems about the right time to be saying goodbye to summer.
  3. I think posting hints is what's pretty low.
  4. I saw a white Javelin with gold stripes in someone's driveway. Looked to be in perfect condition. It had gold wheels... the kind with the ring of smallish holes all around the hub, I forget the brand name. Looked pretty cool...
  5. Met up with yet another clueless driver this morning. How is it possible that a sane person will back out of their driveway into the street without bothering to look if any cars are coming? I mean seriously. Wouldn't even the stupidest person's instinct tell them that maybe you should check to see if the road is clear before you back out into it?
  6. Remember... do not post any hints or answers here, Modelmartin. PM me with year, make and model. The answer: 2010-present Bufori Geneva
  7. Look familiar? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Imai-1-24-Pontiac-GTO-B-I-398-800-Super-Driving-Series-26-/350582210798?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item51a05400ee
  8. I tend to be a "one and done" type. Once I've seen a movie and I know how it ends, watching it again is pointless (to me)... especially "whodunit" movies or any movie with a plot twist or surprise ending... (do you see dead people? ) The only movie I have watched repeatedly is The Wizard of Oz. It used to be on TV once a year when I was a kid, and I watched it every year. I've seen it maybe 20-25 times in my life. And yeah, I still get a kick out of it even though I have almost the whole script memorized at this point! There are a very small handful of movies that I have specifically made an effort to see more than once, but very few. Escape From Alcatraz (starring Clint Eastwood) Road to Perdition (Tom Hanks, Paul Newman) The Verdict (Paul Newman) The Outlaw Josie Wales (Eastwood again) The Blues Brothers Titanic (because of the absolutely fantastic effects and attention to period detail in every way) That's about it as far as me watching the same movie more than once.
  9. Don't you love how elegantly Checker designed that 5MPH bumper and integrated it into the design? What did they spend on that? 20 bucks?
  10. "This is a perfect example of what is wrong with forums today, even the great HP didn't think there was anything wrong with the way this thread was going!" News flash for James2: I'm just one person, not a whole staff of moderators. I don't see every post in every topic every time. I just checked in on this one today.
  11. The side windows look ok when the car is stock because they form an arc from the front of the roof to the rear. But when you cut off everything behind the front window but keep that stock curve of the window and roof, the curve looks out of place. So since on the ranchero the side window is now the only window, the shape of it (and the roofline) has to be resolved within that shorter length. Know what I mean?
  12. You don't need IE to use bing. Any browser can take you to any website. Bing and Google aren't web browsers, they're web sites. Doesn't matter which browser you use to get there.
  13. I agree on the roof. Make the top of the side window parallel to the bottom and get rid of that hump on the roof.
  14. Tire swings!
  15. I love the four outside rearview mirrors! But... where are the curb feelers?
  16. That rear window treatment is pure genius. Looks absolutely real. A beautiful model in every way, and a gorgeous color combo. Just spectacular. Replica stock doesn't get any better than this. But I have to disagree with you on the photos. The ones in sunlight are far better and capture the colors more accurately. The ones shot in shade have a very strong blue cast to them.
  17. Are you sure you didn't mean perversity?
  18. It's not the computer, it's the software. Try a different browser.
  19. Actually, since we're not supposed to talk politics here, and this topic is nothing but political... bye bye.
  20. Me too. Independent countries smaller than Scotland.
  21. There are a lot of independent countries even smaller. Tonga. Andorra. Luxembourg. Monaco. Liechtenstein. Vatican City. Cyprus. Nauru. Malta. San Marino. And a lot more.
  22. His "pool" is the kind with water in it.
