    How our guys build armor I’ll never know. It never works for me and I lose patience not really being into it

    I know that’s a true story. Incredibly realistic! Kinda blows my mind it does

    Flawless and beautiful build, Artro! I’ve seen a few of these Kitty Hawk P-39s built up and completed, and they’ve all been show winners. But yours raises the bar even higher. Exquisite!

    Ahhh heck! D.lll or D.Xll? It should be easy enough to trace a pattern and send it to you to form from sheet styrene

    After a bit of a stoppage due to burying my father in law and dealing with his estate, we’re back, barely.

    And the world would be so much better with a 1/32 Devastator, Vindicator, C-46, Kate, Val, and F-82. And not all of those are even available in 1/48. But what we DO need is another 109.

    A good knock on the head should set you straight. I like the itty bitty scale for modern Russian jets, and transports, but that’s about it. I’ll pray for your soul, m’child!

    I finally found one for it, too! Yessssss!

    Know, you love rides that beat you up, man. Are you on the kidney list yet?

    Well, it’s time for some work, so maybe a motor is due the old girl. And going through the gearbox, a new clutch, primary, wheel and neck bearings, powdercoat the frame, swing arm bushings, shocks, springs, brakes, re-lace the wheels, tubes, tires, drive belt, and, and, and, and....

    Nice, mine’s just a stocker 97, cream with red pins, and yes, all the ghey looking fringe is still on the grips, seat, and bags. 78k miles, and it’s about time to do the top end and the trans. It has an annoying habit of popping out of second gear. And no, it’s not my foot. My size 11s are plenty big to give it a good shove. I thought about a new one, but they don’t have anything I like right now, I don’t want any FLH anything, and besides, I’m not a fan of the twin cam or it’s various iterations. Almost bit on a 17 Heritage softail, though 80” with an oil cooler and a carb are fine by me. Any more runs hot down here.

    Phoooque me! Dayam! I’ve never ridden a fat tire rigid before, or a fat tire anything before. To me they look scary. No cornering, too long and stable, although my present stock Springer basically rides itself. I love the art, but I’d kill myself on a stretched out fat tire custom bobbed ass kidney killer.

    Rog, you have the sickness worse than we do!

    Yes it was a 2009. He bruised the backs of my eyeballs with that car from the multiple times my eyes smashed into my skull when he punched the loud pedal. I don’t recall a modern car that does such a brilliant job in transferring dead dinosaurs into fury and motion as that one did. I’m still shaking my head. Pure brilliance from Down Under.

    Now as cool as that is, my tastes fun more towards... Or What can I say, I’m just into COOL old Fords.

    A friend of mine has a G8 GXP that he bought new in the final year of Pontiac existence. That thing is just a rebadged Holden Commodore with left hand drive, huge tires and wheels, and a 6.2L monster V8. That thing is an absolute pavement shredder, and suitably impressed me on a test drive to the point where I almost loaded my britches.

    Jeff, you know the difference between a Corvette and a porcupine, don’t you?

    Hmmm, I remember returning from Germany in the early 80s, after driving an Opel Rekord for three years, wondering where in the hell you blokes park park these monstrous automobiles?!? That being said, the Aussies drove a version of my 56 Ford for years. The Ford Customline V8 was sold there for many, many years, although theirs was a graft of the 1952-1954 body on to the 55-56 front clip. And Holden has produced some automobiles that aren’t lacking in stature.. somewhat gargantuan might be a bit more direct, if I say so myself.

    Yes, they’re safe which is good. But it sounds like thousands of others aren’t. And the kids... it’s just devastating. It’s looking less and less like a deliberate act, but who in their right mind would leave 3000 tons of nitrogen fertilizer sitting on a dock for six years is beyond any measure of human comprehension.

    As many of you may know, my good friend and Brother in Christ Karim Bibi is from Beirut. His extended and immediate family still call Beirut home. His beautiful young daughter also was there today, and after talking to him for an hour or so today, he can say that physically at least, they are unhurt. Emotional scars are another matter and his daughter is of immediate concern. He was working today so he was away, so he’s more than a bit worried. I don’t know if all are aware of the force of today’s blast. It effectively has caused the Beirut waterfront to cease to exist. The warehouse district and much of the business district have been leveled flat, with a degree of thorough destruction not seen since Hiroshima. Parallels are being drawn between today, Hiroshima, and the Halifax Harbor blast of 1917. Many Beiruters are calling themselves and their city accursed. Just remember guys, it isn’t the city’s historic families that have brought the troubles, it’s foreign actors, meeting in the middle, where once stood a jewel of a city. Pray for them if so inclined. If you don’t pray, send out positive waves or whatever. My heart is truly broken over the mind of a little girl I feel I should know personally and whom, along with her family, I just want to give safe harbor to, and assure them that nobody or nothing can hurt them in the future. This may be a simple industrial accident. Right now, nobody knows, but several thousand pounds of stored bulk aluminum nitrate went up along with almost as much commercial grade fireworks. I just know that right now, there is no place for pointing fingers, no place for politics. Just love these poor people and keep them close in your thoughts. Yes, my heart is broken right now.

    Joy is happy, so I get to sleep inside.
