^thats funny, I didnt even notice he cursed until I went back and read it again lol. Nice car, that one picture with the other car on the street would make me worry about the real car crushing your work. When I used to drive gas RC cars, id rally around the neighborhood and always worried about cars smashing it.

:eek: Yeah! Really nice! The front grid seems to turn out very well!... ;) The color is nice too! Will you make the white stripes?
... Damn! It's hard to put my eyes away from that beast! The seatbelts are a nice touch! Makes me want to be 1/25 too, and take the seat! :lol:

Hey Tonioseven, you were on the right thread!!!!!!!!!
aha! it was that you was pointing at... but i got so damn angry about my own mistake... i had glues the hood on one stick so i could paint it from al angels... and when i had painted al the layers of paint and butted it in the box the hood got loose from the hood...:/

Mustang beater. Cool! :sunglasse

:lol: I'm an old French specialist, and never seen this world in Adam de la Halle or Chrétien de Troye's books... in the "fabliaux" neither...
Even if it sounds close to "camarade" which actualy means friend and companion, I'd opted for the 2nd alternative to be the right one! :D
But looking at its color, this one is very hot and spicy!


nota bene: Lotus is a kind of flower that grows in calm water... and sometimes beat italian horses between two straight lines!... ;) And pacific ocean is quite dangerous: sometimes names just tell the thing buy giving its opposite! :D

I just meant Ford explanation on Camaro's name seems to be the good one - but it doesn't really matter as many agressive things have a name that hides their agressivity: Lotus cars, Pacific ocean, ... and Chevy Camaro! :lol: (is it a little more clear?)

... and your "shrimp" looks like it has been cooked the hot and spicy way! (joke... so: :lol: )
