Actually, that photo says a LOT of things... ;)

Chinook time.

Okay, is glue really that hard to get in China!;)

:lol: :lol:

Over at the Fine scale site..... just one day after I posted part of a letter from a person in China about news of the Trumpeter 1/35 Chinook release in Sept of 2005 we get this pic!

I have had to change my undies three times now!

Ya mean that's not a picture of you?

Well.....there goes my cover :rolleyes:

No, John, if it was him, he'd be named, "Fruke."

But that would be steleotyping!

Over at scale hobby naplak called me Fluck

So I replied "Hey what have I done to you?"

lmao... you guys are fracking insane...

What the frack do you mean by that?

I'm going nucking futz!!

Going, Fluke? Going?

And John, I flunked PC101 at my local community college. I stereotype everybody...

Case in point:

Captain Tenneal: So how many here feel that model building is a positive, noble, and skilled past time for grown people to spend their leisure time producing a form of 3 dimensional art? Show of hands?

*All hands raise*

Captain Tenneal: Well you're all wrong. Model kits are for social introvert lepers, who smell bad, have never had a girlfriend, and have the mentality of a 4 year old. The time wasted on this hobby could be better spent on something more positive, like saving money to move out of their parent's basement, or hiring a hooker.

*Mumbles of agreement*

Captain Tenneal: Let's go!

Heh, I have a good teacher...Long live The Captain!:lol:

Since we are already off topic here I'm hoping that things go well at the bank tomorrow cuz soon I may be the proud owner of a 1966 Mustang!! :thumbsup: :eek:

Cool!!!

What color may I ask? Post a pic!!

By the way, have you seen the 2005 Mustang? Ford definitely got it right!

Huzz

What, you can't afford a NEW car?

The wife and I are planning on buying a house this spring so we want to keep things as mellow as possible, So this works out perfect! I get a car that I can be proud of,I can make repairs on 80% of a car like that and I can have it paid off in two months or less.
I looked at it yesterday and it is VERY striaght! Funny the ad says V6 so some may have seen that ad and thought "NO WAY!" its indeed a straight 6-200 ( another reason why some may not too interested ) Not the best time of the year as well, they have not even had a bunch of looky loos......so it was lowered from 5,000 to 3,200.

Wish me luck! 'GULP'

Here is the ad I saw:


1966 FORD MUSTANG. Signal flare red. Very reliable, straight body, automatic, V6. Old car price guide ranks 3 or 4. Value $4,900.-$9,800. asking $3,200 OBO

So Fluke did you get the car?????

Its only 10:37am PST here and I'm calling the bank at 11:30 to find out about my loan.....GULP!

I can't stand it!

Fluke,

Fingers crossed for you! Good ruck

LMAO :thumbsup: rr

I take offense at that as a modeler.

I just bathed last Saturday! :tongue:

Fluke,
Hope you get the Mustang. The original Mustang is one of my all time favorite cars. It's amazing how well those little buggers handled snow.

Indeed Kenny!


Glad to see someone else out there watches MXC.

Sorry Folks.......not approved for the loan and I'm not going for the co signer thing.

Oh well.

WHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!:(

I bath once a month whether I need it or not.

They hose me down once a week.....I'm getting kinda use to it.

What to do with the tire swing in the middle of my room though?

Sorry Folks.......not approved for the loan

Damn it...for a lousy $3200.00?

Well, that's what relatives are for. My parents actually financed the first car I ever bought and the LAST.

In 1978, I told my dad that he was loaning me $6200.00 for a car. And that was about my total annual before tax income. Then he found out it was 455 Trans Am with a 4 speed. He reminded me that I had never driven a standard. Then I told him he also had to teach me how to drive it!

And when I bought the '68 Triumph in 1995, I had to borrow money from my mother. The seller had way undervalued the car and I wanted to buy it before anybody found out what he was asking for. I didn't even bargain. Gave him every penny he wanted.

Seriously though, between you and your wife, you must have living parents or favorite Uncles. Try to explain that a classic won't lose it's value.

I would but they think I will just spend it all on drugs and loose college girls.

My first car, believe it or not, cost $1.52.

In 1974, a guy I worked with in a machine shop had a sister with a 1965 Corvair that had crapped out on her. He figured it was a blown cylinder, and wasn't worth fixing, so he gave me the car! Dad was good with cars (he'd recently rebuilt a 1959 Austin Healy Sprite from parts), so I figured we could fix it up together.

We popped the covers off the engine and discovered the only thing wrong with the car was one broken rocker arm. It cost $1.52 to replace, and bingo, I had a red '65 ragtop with 4 on the floor.

Of course, I must have put about $1500 into the damn thing over the next 3 years to keep it frickin running, but what the hell.

isnt tht guy at work? Get back to work!
