You guys were too smart, this one's a MODEL! (1/8 scale)...

Next ROM coming MONDAY!

I think most of us are on a roll! Need to pick a harder picture there buddy!

After doing this 87 times, the pickings are getting mighty slim. It's getting harder and harder to find a picture every week... :angry:

Actually I wanted to retire this a long time ago! :angry:

But I'll keep it going as long as there's interest... and as long as I can find a photo every week!

Yea I bet! But the ones you do pick are very good and some very convincing! Keep at it, this is fun! Maybe some of us should look for questionable pictures!

Harry, I just wanna say THANKS for doin it week after week like you have. It IS something I look forward to every week, and I KNOW it ain't easy findin new pics every week. Maybe some of us could send ya some pics or somethin to put in, as a kinda "guest" poster. That way ya wouldn't hafta bust every week lookin for new pics. Just a suggestion, but it might make it a BIT easier on ya. After all, a Monday without RoM would be like a day without sunshine!!!! Thanks! :angry:

Darn, I voted wrong on this one! I generally won't research these, but will vote on my gut feeling. But shortly after I voted I had found the image... Here are some interesting links that tell the tale:

The original 1:1 car:

Lotus 62

The Lotus Type 62 race car was a development of the successful Type 47 and intended to race in the Appendix J Group 6 Prototype Class. The car was designed by Martin Waide at Lotus Components and had a space frame chassis, and featured the new Lotus 2.0 litre LV240 DOHC engine (in time this engine would become the Type 907 engine, used to power the Lotus Elite, Esprit, Eclat and Excel).

The car had limited competitive success, due mainly to problems with the Vauxhall derived engine block. The car's most successful race was finishing 3rd position at the Tourist Trophy at Oulton Park in 1969.

Oh, BTW... I have gotten photos submitted by others from time to time. Some were good enough to use, some not... but I always welcome "special guest" photos!

(stomping feet) Dang, dang, rats, rats! Ahhhh, phooey! Wrong again! ;):lol:

I hope you can keep this going Harry. Even though I'm wrong most of the time, I really enjoy the anticipation of finding out if it's real or model. You've done a great job keeping us thinking and on our toes (oh my head hurts! :lol: ).
