From the archives...

Some of the more recent stuff from HW... Not so much a fan of the stance and paint on the Riv, but hey its a TH (not the good one though)

You know there is a '59 Buick Electra 225 1:18 out now, right? By the same company that did the '71 Riv in 1:18.

Love it. Cream Soda, Cherry, Strawberry-Lime. Havent tried too many others yet, nor have I wanted to try some... Turkey & gravy, Turf, Sweat.

You are just not looking hard enough (or maybe for the right thing)... the Firepower is out again, but not in the blue that it came out in originally. It is now flat black with red graphics. I think it has had a couple other paint schemes since the original release too. Thanks all for the welcome back. I will be back in the swing by the weekend. I have lots of new stuff to takes pics of and upload. Knightfan get ready....

OK, this reminds me of a story.... A guy I worked with at a grocery store did a similar thing, except he held the guy down until cops got there. He is a detective with the police dept now. However, when he tackled the guy it wasnt a cane, they found a survival knife strapped to the guys leg....... his wooden leg.

I believe it. First-hand experience. Sad that there is a word for working yourself to death in Japanese.

Good find. I am back. We just moved and I got my DSL up and running today. The next release of the ZR1 is yellow, and the Camaro will be Blue w/ white.

In my batch o' car pics on a disc somewhere I have the cool GP 'vert and a Fiero 'vert. I'll have to find those discs.

One pre-requisite is that your car is in you sig, so I know what I'm looking for. The second is that it be somewhat unique or recognizable.

Can there be two?

I-696 E, May 20 10:40 am.

OK, anyone know the title of a book about how the auto companies suppressed mass transit here in Detroit. I saw one on the discount rack at a book store a long time ago and didnt buy it, but meant to read it.

Not to sound too obvious here, but the oil level is fine right?

Where is your NE Ohio overnight stop? I may have some suggestions, if you like. http://packardmuseum.org/defaultmain.htm If you decide to visit this museum, let me know, and I can recommend good eats and a reasonable place to stay.

What colors are the windows on the Auroras?

I would be interested in seeing a list. Are any of the HW rare?

1. Back to the east side of town. Northeast actually, if you want to be specific. 2. Maybe. It's still a work trip.

They are a set of 6, I think. 2 colors of each in a release. There is one other GM, a '54 Chevy, but I didnt care for the color of the one I found (yellow & green). I will get the '54 Chevy in red if I can find it and the Black & Red Pontiac Here the list for the first release: 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air - Red - 08-01 1955 Pontiac Star Chief - Black and Red - 08-02 1953 Oldsmobile 98 - Pale Blue - 08-03 1951 Ford Crestliner - Pea Green and Black - 08-04 1957 Ford Fairlane - Pale Yellow and Black - 08-05 1954 Mercury Sun Valley - Pale Green - 08-06 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air - Pale Yellow and Green - 08-07 1955 Pontiac Star Chief - Turquoise and White - 08-08 1953 Oldsmobile 98 - Red and White - 08-09 1951 Ford Crestliner - Sand and Steal Blue - 08-10 1957 Ford Fairlane - Light and Dark Green 08-11 1954 Mercury Sun Valley - Pale Blue - 08-12 A subsequent release will have these mildly customized with a cool purple & black Pontiac. Oh, yeah, I found them at Toys R Us for $5 each. Thats another reason I was picky about colors, since they are a bit more $$.

You mean they don't have it on display like that old GMC in Janesville?

1. Move. (Staying in the state) 2. I've been told I may visit a few places this summer: Paris, Germany & Shanghai. Maybe in one trip, yikes!

Sorry, dude, I cant help but think this would be way more effective with a black SRT version.

Now you made me go to YouTube to watch the Chris DeBurgh video. I hadn't thought about that song in a long time.
