Re: Cars from my travels
Nice!
My old man put a deposit on a Morgan many, many years ago, even though he knew he had no chance (or intention!) of ever being able to buy the resulting car.....However, he sold his deposit (and therefore the build slot) about three months before the car was due to be built for a lot more than the deposit he had paid! This apparently was fairly common, until Morgan put a stop to transferring of deposits! I would guess this would have been in the early 50s during his army service and before us pesky kids came along!
We will be in Malvern next weekend as it happens, so may potter along to the factory Museum

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Fantastic variety. I love the Aston Martin.

Re: Cars from my travels
There's a fault with the Aston the wheels aren't standard so turn to full lock or go over a bump and they hit the body!

From a trip to a restoration workshop:
Another job bought me close to this item:
That would go down well with some AFV colour experts!

What a thing to do to a poor Defenceless Chieftain Tank.

I don't know what's more of a shock, the tanks colour scheme or that it's there!.

A lime green tank with pink treads, now that is.... different. Is there a story behind that?

Re: Cars from my travels
It makes me want to hit the stash and break out a Chieftain and paint it in those colours 
And I thought the Berlin urban camouflage was bright.

Re: Cars from my travels
The Morgan is without doubt my all time favourite car always has been since I was a kid
I stared a century thinking this will never change
As I hesitated, time rushed onwards without me
Too scared to break the spell, too small to take a fall
But the absolute luck is, love is in our hearts!
Lyrics By P. Weller

Re: Cars from my travels
Real armor modelers slop on green/brown paint and dirt. Colors aside, whomever painted this was entirely too meticulous.

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

That's a genuine AC Cobra a late supercharged model, the Lotus Europa is totally original there was two there but the other was on a ramp the elan was just because it was there.
Sorry the Europa is a bit shaky I'm not a good photographer.
