LUKE'57 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 We had our first race of the season yesterday so I didn't get to go to CMS for the AutoFair. But I really didn't mind because I wound up with this little gem that CrazyRay78 brought me. After I got it unloaded I gave it a good cleaning and checked all the fluids so she'd be ready to cruise today. It fits me like a tailored suit and is the first Cyclone in my yard since I got rid of my '66 thirty years ago. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for those "messengers of VROOM" and a place in my driveway. I had to use flill flash to even out the exposure and balance the gleam coming off briar eatin' grin but it made for a pretty neat shot after all. Anybody up forl a cruise?

highway Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 sweet One question though, is that a real car, or the best model I've ever seen? I really honestly cant tell. If its a model then it is truly the best one I have ever seen in my Life Yeah, I think he "Photoshop"ped himself into a diorama! If Harry would have put one of the first pics in "Real or Model", he would have fooled us all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUKE'57 Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 That's one of the Georgia Marketing and Promotions die cast Cyclones that a friend brought to me last night at my track's season opener that I do the victory lane interviews at. It was shot on my "photo set", not detailed enough to be considered a diarama but it works well enough for me to use for a photo background for my old stuff. I built three "Days of Thunder" RC cars for Tom back when they were shoooting the movie. I got very politely "un-invited" to post on that "real or model" topic so I stay away from over there. Made to feel very umwelcome and I took the hint. It's a private show and they don't need any help from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry that much about it, I'm sure you weren't the first and probably won't be the last! I almost made the same mistake myself!
