  1. Hybrids will be cheaper in the future. The head of audi believes most cars will be hybrid within 20 years. Talking of fuel efficiency, I test drove the new subaru xt forester. It is 20% more fuel efficient than the model it replaces. Hs a cvt gearbox that does a pretty good impression of an 8 speed dsg. Reminded me of a vw golf gti cross tiguan. The fuel efficiency was gained through direct injection and the cvt box. Pretty cool I think, considering it drives well. Ben
  2. I think we automotive builders/enthusiasts have it fairly good. We all want more, who doesn't? It looks like tamiya has stepped up its game even more. Laferarri has photo etch and carbon fibre declaring as optional extras. Pretty cool I think. Ben
  3. Just seen Rush last night. I'm mightily impressed. What inspirational characters Lauda and Hunt were. As soon as the movie finished I looked Up wiki to find out more. Ben
  4. You're welcome. Come across the extras doing research in how I was going to reprlicate carbon fibre for the kit. Ben
  5. The r series mack and logging trailer go together well. I plan to do a similar thing. I've got 2 hole wheels for the prime mover and drive tyres from a paystar 5000. Will be watching. Ben
  6. I've checked with my wife. She's asked me, "Is it over $1000?" To which my reply was "nooooo." She seems half keen as the body work doesn't need painting. Ben
  7. Great work so far. Tim Albhorn would be the guy to help with the accuracy questions. Ben
  8. Great stuff. Love the macks. Ben
  9. Cheers. Looks great so far. Will be watching. Ben
  10. Nice! Is that a mack or Hendrickson suspension rear end? Love unusual trucks. Ben
  11. Wow. I love your subject choices in cars and trucks. Pure art. Ben
  12. I just ordered tamiya's photo etch and carbon fibre decal set for the laferrari from hobby search. Ben
  13. Great work! Can't wait to see more. Ben
  14. I might have to get Mack then since I'm a Mack truck fan. Ben
  15. Well the Mack Titan meets the chrome criteria. I believe it would sell well in Australia for sure. I'd buy 3 straight up. I only plan to get one prostar. I've already done 2 lonestars, one box stock the other converted to an aussie kw t904. I hope it's a mack Titan or granite in the pipeline. Ben
  16. I wish revell would do the current rs4 street version. They look and sound awesome in the metal. Ben
  17. Anyone got any pics of it? Ben
  18. Wow. That's a great looking outfit. Ben
  19. I was hoping for a new truck from moebius to follow up the ProStar. All good, plenty to build at the moment anyway. Ben
  20. Cool idea. I've ordered a prostar as well. Will be watching. Ben
