Harry P. Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 (edited) Ok...trying this once again. If this works...thanks to Darin for giving me some help...and please DON"T TELL if you know the answer! If this doesn't work...well, then I give up! Is it real...or a model? The answer: REAL! Edited August 31, 2007 by harrypri
Harry P. Posted August 28, 2007 Author Posted August 28, 2007 It worked! Thanks, Darin...I had forgotten to fill in one of the boxes...that's why the poll wasn't displaying before. Got it now!
Harry P. Posted August 28, 2007 Author Posted August 28, 2007 You can still vote, even if you know the answer for sure...just don't TELL us the answer!
Harry P. Posted August 28, 2007 Author Posted August 28, 2007 ok...looks like it's working! BTW...in case any of you recognize this car from a past ROM...it's because it IS from a past ROM. I have a huge stash of photos that I used in the old ROM series...but most members here have not seen them yet. So if I use a picture that I may have used in a previous quiz elsewhere...don't give away the answer. Most folks here would be seeing them for the first time, and re-using previous images from old ROM quizzes saves me a huge amount of search time!!!
RJWood Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 This one is tough, I voted real because the wheels & tires look real and just a wild @ss guess.
Harry P. Posted August 28, 2007 Author Posted August 28, 2007 This one is tough, I voted real because the wheels & tires look real and just a wild @ss guess. Did you ask Mick and Charlie what they thought???
parki Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 This is a tough one! I'm gonna go with real, i think? Yeah real.
lizardlust Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Let's see - subjecting myself to quizzes that will once again make me feel like a fool. AAAAHH, that's better!!!!
oldcars Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Well, here we go again. Please be right,Please be right, Please be right..........
Mike Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 I'm rolling with model because there's no sag in the slicks from weight and the blower assembly up top. Then again, I could be wrong seeing's that Harry's a genius with Photoshop.
RJWood Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Did you ask Mick and Charlie what they thought??? All Mick could do was prance around in his skivies saying he was the model, and Charlie?, Charlie just sat there stairing into space. I think he fell asleep, so I took the cigarette from his fingers, grabbed a Turkey leg and a Fosters and left.
mr moto Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 However, with all the photoshopping going on here, with either details being added or removed, anything's possible......Jeff Remember, Harrypri said he doesn't Photoshop the cars/models, only the backgrounds! I already know this one but it's fun to follow it anyway!

Harry P. Posted August 29, 2007 Author Posted August 29, 2007 Remember, Harrypri said he doesn't Photoshop the cars/models, only the backgrounds! I already know this one but it's fun to follow it anyway! That's right...I MAY alter the background if I think it gives things away, scale-wise...but I don't change the car. If I did it would be impossible to determine if it was real or model! So...the car in this photo is unretouched. And I see by the vote so far that you guys are split right down the middle...
ismaelg Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 I voted real because of the headers. If this is a model those would be the thinnest wall and best looking headers I remember seeing. The very low angle of the pic makes it tricky. Thanks,
Jared Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 i say model for a few reasons. there are many things that just don't seem quite right. the face that there is no sag in the rear tire, the blower and intake are not real detailed for that should be there. also the body is WAY to shiny to be a race "period race car." hope i'm right!!!
Darin Bastedo Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 It worked! Thanks, Darin...I had forgotten to fill in one of the boxes...that's why the poll wasn't displaying before. Got it now! No sweat I'm glad I could help. cool contest BTW
Harry P. Posted August 31, 2007 Author Posted August 31, 2007 Well...by a slim majority, you guys were WRONG! It's REAL! Thanks to all for playing along. Next ROM coming Monday!
Steve H. Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Yay, I got it it right! What'd I win? The headers, chute cord and shadows on the ground were my clues...
Harry P. Posted August 31, 2007 Author Posted August 31, 2007 Yay, I got it it right! What'd I win? The undying admiration of modelers everywhere.
bigphoto Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Well...by a slim majority, you guys were WRONG! It's REAL! Thanks to all for playing along. Next ROM coming Monday! I got it right too it was the thermostat on the back wall for me!!
