SPA Modeler

That Gremlin cracks me up.

Those photos with Luke, Duke and Daisy make me feel so ooooooooooooold. As silly as this show was I really enjoyed it at 11-12 years old. I was always an old Mopar fan and their Charger was right down my lane. I loved watching that car.

Bruce: I actually do have that Pro Modeler Charger. I picked it up a few years ago at a show in Austin for $10 and I also have this:

There he is!!! I kind of figured that you'd be in on this and it'll be a lot of fun to build without all the snide and silly comments that we'd get elsewhere.

• Revell-Monogram "Pro Modeler" '69 Dodge Charger R/T kit #5937
  AMT/Ertl Eckler Corvette kit #8053 / racing rims

Thanks.

I like the way you're thinkin' Bruce.

1 Pro Modeler 69 Dodge Charger in stock......CHECK
1 MPC General Lee Dodge Charger in stock....CHECK
and now 1 Eckler Corvette ordered off of Ebay for 5 bucks plus shipping.....CHECK!!

Joe,

I'm trying to resist this, but if it goes ahead I'll more than likely join in as I can't resist a good GB. I don't have a kit but I'll probably get the one you have as it seems to be the only option over here - it's not cheap though.

Being British - someone at some point is going to have to explain to me the (non) issue with the Southern Cross.

Carlos.… close but no cigar. That's an AMC Pacer Another fugly car...

Stuart, this explanation treads into US politics so I will try to be a neutral as I can. I personally have no,dog in this fight as both sides of my family, as far as I know, arrived in this country after the Civil War, and on the West Coast, which was minimally involved.
Some folks, usually of a certain political viewpoint, find the Confederate battle flag, sometimes called “the stars and bars”, highly offensive. Other folks see it as a point of Southern pride, or see it as a tribute to those who fought in belief of their views, or simply Southern culture and heritage. It is not the National flag of the Confederate States of America, but instead one of many colors flown by their armies during the American Civil War (1861-1865). Members at each end of the spectrum can be quite vocal in their advocacy for or opposition to the banner. Simply put is part of our national past, but a very uneasy chapter, and with many conflicting viewpoints. Some want it erased completely and never spoken of again, while others want it commemorated for differing reasons.
The main problem is that currently in this country rational discussion of opposing or conflicting viewpoints is not really happening. That does not lead to acceptable equitable solutions.

Better yet, what were they smoking?
