Pocher Aventador

[Harry P.]

The blue roadster is on ebay for $522, free shipping. That is a steal of a price. I am so tempted to pull the trigger...

[Deathgoblin]

I'd be curious to see the parts on that one.

Boy Harry, that's kind of out of your wheel house isn't it ? Not saying you could not do it because I am sure you would build a knockout. I suspect there isn't much brass on it !

[Harry P.]

Yeah, definitely not my usual subject matter. For for that price, hard to resist.

[cobraman]

Well ???  : )

[sjordan2]

Harry, you've been lusting after this one since it came out. Face it -- Pocher ain't going to make any more old classics.

[cobraman]

Bang Bang ! Pull the trigger !  : )

[Harry P.]

The Aventador kit is available in several configurations/colors... coupe, roadster, orange, white, black, and this one. This is the one I want. Just have to convince myself that spending $500 on a model kit is a good thing right now... my business is in the toilet, so spending that kind of cash on something so completely non-essential seems stupid. Is stupid. But man, when I see those photos...

 

[cobraman]

That's a great looking car.

[Harry P.]

And that is the model, not the real car!

If it is a deal Harry and what you want, go for it. You only live once and you may regret not doing it...

Harry, I have to agree with Slusher.  I am really, badly, wanting the MFH 1:12 Eagle Gurney Weslake.  But man, that price tag is hard to take.  I know me.  I will not buy it and regret it every time I see it.  And every time I see it, I'll kick myself and call myself bad names.  Don't be like me, Harry.  Buy the model.

Aren't we good at spending your money ??

I'm leaning towards buying it. Leaning really far...

Harry, one man can't count another mans money, but everything is slow or in the craper. Like I said, we only live once..

I say go for it. Eating is over rated. Things are always qiuet in an election year. It will get better next year as it always does.

[Twokidsnosleep]

My vote is to go for it as well, looks like a reputable seller with multiple units and a great sale price

BUT I understand a money crunch...try building a house in a housing boom gheese

Life never makes our choices easy, does it.

This kit might get your building mojo back online as well.

Still trying to talk yourself into the purchase ??? : )

[Harry P.]

Guys, I'm once again having some medical issues that are putting everything else on the back burner. More info as I get it. Right now I'm undergoing tests.

[cobraman]

Sorry to hear that Harry. I hope all will be alright.
