They don't call it Hotlanta for nuttin' y'all.
I vote yes to the rolling soda vending machine (well thats what the rear of these things always reminded me of)
@MarauderMan: I just love the crazy lean that the cabs take on the turns.
this may be too obscure, but I love the movie "Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" but I especially like the Taxis that figure prominently in the latter stages of the movie.
Working downtown for the past 3yrs gave me the opportunity to see these units installed. They are extremely robust and to my Architect's eye, aesthetically pleaseing
shoulda used a Caddy with lessons by Ferrara first.
@FastForward: pffft, mine had 5 and was White with Black seat, which in my eyes made it an Evil Knievel bike. Many stunts ensued...
Back in 69' for my 3rd B-day I was given a Lotus F1 pedal car. that was Nirvana for me. We kept it till I was nearly 10 if memory serves. Sadly, no pictures survive though there is a Super8 of me driving it round snowy sidewalks.
@failure_to_communicate: replacement parts are dead easy to get, (lots of suppliers and good online community).
Two lines in it reads Spruell Alfa. Say no more, nice price. The Recaro interior can be changed and is a typical wear item. The rest of the car is original and sorted so still Nice Price. FWIW, I've had a Verde, Platinum and a GTV6 (see my profile pic) and I would certainly take a GTV6 in a heartbeat, but for this money the Verde is a good buy. Besides, one could argue that the VW jetta of that generation took the Milano's styling and watered it down a bit.
@EuropaBambaataa: so what say you to this "subdued" Mustang?
@RushinRussian: My only issue with her is that she sorta looks like Michael Schumacher which being a guy, is rather off putting.
@B-Sel; Curmudgeon in training: If the light size is increased by about 10% and there were a horizontal crease somewhere it would work far better for me. But agreeed, there are some decent details there.
@B-Sel; Curmudgeon in training: totally agree. The proportion of lights to body collored bumpers and trunk area is just wrong and far more egregious than the beak!
WOW, I've had all but the micro machines and the transformers mainly because they came out while in my 20's! I am poised to break down and buy a nice Carrera Slots for myself though since my AFX/Tyco slots are non operative. Hmmm I guess I could break out the Corgi's and Matchboxes sitting in my basement though...
@Normally Aspirated: damn near impossible to ever replicate that jump and head on smash up!!
@solracer: 1/64 generally. The 1/43 is usually Corgi territory. 1/24 Revell models, 1/16.
@sixt9coug loves his rimblow: and beyond the wall to wall NASCAR covereage is the fact that most people don't even know what Speed TV is. At lesast everyone knows the History and Discovery channels.
@bygeorge: Buddy of mine had a 69 Cutlass that he inherited from his uncle. It was a 4dr which he painted black with white stripes and put monster tires on. It was still a bone stock 350 with manual brakes and was an absolute pig to drive but it was fun. Even years later when the family had moved on to a Pontiac Safari and ultimately a Volvo 245 my dad would always talk about the Cruiser with fond memories.
