Lownslow Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 What’s the big deal? It’s a stock 1969 black Lincoln Continental with airbags and a skull hood ornament. If there was a kit available, which there is not, it would be a simple build as the video shows little if any details. I learned that much by spending 10 minutes on Google. The cover song however: “Tainted Love" was composed by Ed Cobb, formerly of The Four Preps, which was originally recorded by Gloria Jones. It attained worldwide fame after being covered by Soft Cell in 1981, and has since been covered by numerous other groups and artists including the cover song by MM. His biggest hit to date I should mention. The innuendo in the video plus the bare breast flash and other imagery are disturbing to say the least and do NOT belong on Model Cars Magazine Forums. However, I no longer represent the magazine, this forum or Golden Bell Press. The management saw to that very well long before you came along. (Guess you didn’t get the memo) So now I simply am just another modeler with an opinion and a belief that imagery such as what you posted and idiots like Marilyn Manson, Goth and other black arts are a cancer in this culture. Jonas brothers are a cancer to music culture, BTW your wrong airbags dont lock up that fast, evil im talking to a few friends who are cronies in the manson flock to get info on it.
Lownslow Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Wow this is a bit of a controversial thread. On the topic of Continentals in film clips, does anyone recall a video from a few years ago featuring an American rapper driving a black one with big diameter wire-spoke wheels? I think he is singing with or about a girl and ends up side-swiping a guard rail with sparks flying. I remember thinking the car looked pretty sweet at the time. i know which one but not off the top of my head
Nick F40 Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 You should read it again Nick… “Racist†came from your buddy calling me a racist in post #17: Was not sure where to cut it because there are no periods... or punctuation... or spell check... or logic for that matter... Oh look a squirrel in the backyard! I was actually agreeing with you but yeah!
crispy Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Oh look a squirrel in the backyard! wha..... where? But the bunny, what about the bunny?
Jairus Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 This one? Her name is "Alice" and this picture was taken moments ago. She lives in my backyard and has a lot of squirrel friends, one cat (Max) and has outlived more than a few other rabbits (Who die of unknown deaths). I think she is about 8 years old now.
lizardlust Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 This one? Her name is "Alice" and this picture was taken moments ago. Is this a Republican Rabbit? Is she a card-carrying member of the NRA(National Rabbit Assn.)?? Does she practice "safe snugglebunnies"???
Jairus Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Yeaaaahhhhh, that question is not reeeeeallly model related and so I will not answer. (She deserves her privacy and anonymity) But I will post a nice picture of this: This is a slot car built using an AMT Gurney Indy car static kit as a basis. More pictures can be found on my Fotki account! Finished it just last week.
Roadkill2525 Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 I was looking for reference pics for my Corvette and found this one at the Nurburgring.

These two are my favorite pics i've seen in a while, and that guy in the Vette is my HERO, that is what I would do, heck yeah, what Corvettes are meant to do, not sit in a garage!
MrObsessive Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 I was looking for reference pics for my Corvette and found this one at the Nurburgring. YES!! That's what I like to see 'Vettes do to! BTW, I gotta agree with Jairus on this one. I saw the point of what he was doing in the beginning. It's got nothing to do with hating your kind of music or "dissing" your choice of culture. It has everything to do with staying on topic of models and cars in general, and posting a link to that video was "sidestepping" the rules IMO. As he mentioned you could simply could have done a screen capture of the car and that's that. Anyone with Windows XP or Vista can do a screen shot-------it's too easy. If you want to post a vid to folks who might be interested in it, there's a handy dandy feature that this board has had since the beginning. I'd know because I've been here since about the beginning. It's called a PM.

It brings a warm feeling seeing a Vette get airborn at the Ring....or any car for that matter, it just shows that there are still and a few out there that drive their cars and can handle it!

Daniel Peterson Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 This topic should have been deleted right out of the gate.
