  1. Thanks Atmobil. No they didn't do whitewalls so I had to and with a new white acrylic paint pen as well! Neat isn't it.
  2. Yes Geoff. Well they had to use someone to give it style, because at that time we had no idea about styling at all.
  3. Superb at last a real British sports car!
  4. Thanks Pat. Your dead right of course, and I have some tread plate Plasticard that would do a treat!
  5. Thanks Dave. Yes very nice kit, well detailed, well made, with two sets of decals on one large sheet.
  6. Superbly aggressive! I( have a Cavalier produced 2001 Clubsport resin kit, yet to be built. I hope to do it in Supercar mode with Valvolene decals. Well done with this one Nick!
  7. Yes we are looking to sell our split level 4 bed house in a close of 7 in our small town. Were looking for what they now call here a 'future proof' property, in other words a bungalow, so just one level to deal with and just two bedrooms. We are both 70 years old with no health issues but are hoping to do the move now while we can. We also have the same problem as Bill, tons of 'stuff' to get through. Although our to boys (48 & 50) have flown the nest, one to Canada, we still have a lot of their bits and pieces to sort out and getting them to understand that bit as we are 'downsizing' is difficult. We have a number of self store places (but most are container with no heating) so that might be an option with them paying for it!
  8. Thanks Gt fan. I've found a few here on the web, so put it on the wanted list! Yes a neighbour was working in the press department of Audi UK, when the first Quattro's of the long wheel base ones came into the UK. A few minutes after he bought the car home I drove it on one of our motorways at about 120mph, and being 4X4 Quattro it stuck to the roads! On the twisty lanes back from the motorway, about 15 miles it was even better to drive at speed, where the roads are just wide enough for two cars and plenty of tight, and some hairpin bends!
  9. Super finish well done! Another kit that's not sold here in the UK. I've checked out the prices but it costs a lot more for the shipping than the kit!
  10. Superb!
  11. Wow!! Who has bought out this kit Dustin? I ask as we don't see many Nascar kits here in the UK.

    Brilliant stuff Dale well done. The colour /stance/rims just right!
  13. Superb builds all on here! As we had five VW Beetles over the years, when VW came out with a water cooled car we thought that this was the beginning of the end for VW. How wrong we were! We've had a few Passats and both sons have had Golfs, our eldest out in Canada, has the latest Golf range topper! I have a MK 2 on the shelf, with the darker Green paint to build for my youngest son whose just passed 48! How time flies when your having fun!
  14. Superb! We had hundreds if not thousands here at one time, France being so close! We used to call them the tin snail, due to the first ones being built of corrugated mild steel, and very slow having the twin cylinder air cooled motor, but very comfortable with the unique suspension. Very cool and trendy with the hippies of the 60's and 70's covered in large flower power stickers!
  15. Really neat! It's good to see a British sports car on here.
  16. Yes the slicks are used on the tarmac stages for extra grip.
  17. Fantastic so far! Who makes the Audi kit? I remember these when I was a rally marshall. I would see these and the other group 5 cars ( 037 Lancia's, Ford RS 200 etc) on our World Rally GB (RAC Rally) on the stages. Super quick and loud!
  18. Thanks Tommy124. Yes I'd seen the press release that they were bringing that one out. Interesting that their (Rothmans) Rally build HQ was just up the road from here!
  19. Now the wipers are the right way up for a right hand drive car! It looks great, well done David. We see here in the UK a lot of NEW MK2's on our rally TV programmes as in Ireland (EIRE) they still run them in the historic category. Plus there are folks who make spare shells and chassis. I had the problem when I started mine, not being able to decide whether to go the box-art or this way or copy one of the Irish cars!
