  1. Did you actually read the article? No mention was made by anyone regarding quality. The cost of manufacturing in Australia is the primary reason for the halt of manufacturing there. They are both stopping manufacturing in Australia.
  2. This one was too hard... we only got one correct answer! The car is a 1991 Kelly Python. http://jalopnik.com/5914598/for-14300-feel-the-pythons-grip Who got it right: Badluck13 That's all!
  3. If I was Ferdinand Porsche or a member of his family, it would.
  4. BTW, I agree with Skip. Those are some nice bumpers in that video...
  5. And while we're at it., it's "porsh-uh, not "porsh." And it's "ow-dee," not "aw-dee."
  6. According to historians and people who actually knew John Willys and /or members of the family, the family name is pronounced "wil-lis"... not "wil-eez." But... so many people say "wil-eez" by mistake that the incorrect pronunciation has actually become the "accepted" pronunciation among a lot of car guys. But it's wrong.
  7. Do you think it's worth the price? I'm trying to decide if I want one or not.
  8. A few more details added to the pumper... brake bands for the rear wheels, water tank, bell, etc. At this point the pumper part is basically finished (except for the rear wheels and the various hose brackets)... so on to the tractor part now...
  9. No matter what you believe politically, or in regards to what the minimum wage should be, etc., you have to agree that if a company thinks it can make their product as a lower cost elsewhere, they're going to do so. That's just plain common sense. Yes, the bottom line is what counts for any business... and if you believe in the concepts of free enterprise and free market capitalism, you can't demonize a company for making a move that improves their bottom line! Yes, there is always "collateral damage" when an employer packs up and leaves... some people will lose their jobs and there's no way to avoid that. But think of it this way: does any company have a duty or obligation to set up operations in your country and provide jobs to your people? Or do the employees owe the company a "thank you" for operating in their area and offering them a job?
  10. Great Dane and Chihuahua!
  11. Ever think about putting them up on ebay?
  12. http://hobbyterra.com/product/admiral-cabriolet-german-passenger-car-icm-scale-24.html
  13. I never log out either. What's the point?
  14. Exactly. Exhibit A: Kim and Kanye.
  15. And they say they're pulling out because of the extremely high cost of manufacturing there. I guess there is always two sides to every story.
  16. Now only Toyota is still left... http://www.thecarconnection.com/news/1089074_the-death-of-an-auto-industry-ford-gm-pull-out-of-australia-toyota-may-follow?utm_source=outbrain&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=news
  17. I like the wagon best! Never have seen one before, that would make a unique model.
  18. Milliput hardens via a chemical reaction, not by "drying," so if the reaction still hasn't happened after two weeks... it's not going to happen. Get rid of it and start over.
  19. Got up this morning and saw that it snowed overnight... so I went out at 8 AM to shovel. After I finished I drove to McD to get a big cup of coffee in the drive-thru... got home, put the car away and felt like a job well done. Then it started snowing again!
  20. Beautiful model.
  21. Man, that global warming is a killer!
  22. No. I plan to some day, but so far no.
