I'm finding it hard to get hold of cars - I've tried charity shops locally, and a boot sale...but nothing.

Any suggestions?

Boot sales are good, but the season is winding down - I've got a large selection of ones I'll probably never get around to doing, so send me a PM and I'll see what I've got ;)

The outdoor bootsales in my area are almost finished now, although they have some indoor ones during the winter :)

I don't seem to be able to get a decent focus on model cars when taking pictures, anyone know why everytime I take a close up pic of a model it blurrs slightly?

Does your camera have a macro function? it appears as a small flower symbol either on the button on the camera or on the screen when it is on. It allows you to take photos as close as a few centimetres away in the right conditions

I did used to play it, but I can't get it to work on my new computer. Excellent game, best Banger game around (in fact one of only two dedicated banger games around!)

I've always said someone should mod FlatOut in a similar way. Imagine the gorgeous damage, perfect physics and breathtaking graphics! Posted Image

Would it have the driver going through the window rubbish though :D ???

My Psycho Taxi is coming along very well, the signwriting is the best I've done so far, all I need to do is to put an axe on the roof :lol:

I do! But I'm not very good at it. Too bad they don't have a PS2 controller for the computer... then I'd be better at it. I'm just not used to using a keyboard to play games.

The booking list for the 2006 Firecraker is online, there are still many drivers left to book in and some need to confirm what car they will be racing.

Some cars on the list so far:

1949 Ford Customline Hearse
1946 Daimler Hearse
AMC Pacer
1963 Chevy Bel Air wagon
Lincoln Customized limo
1963 Cadillac Fleetwood XL

There is also the usual Rolls Royces, Jaguars, old Rovers, hearses and strech limos taking part :lol:

Full list on this site: www.wellbent.cjb.net

Wow is right! I thought the DS420 limos, hearses, etc. were fairly rare cars, and yet I've seen a lot of them bangered. Can you guys shed some light on this for me?

And a Pacer! I was asking about that one on Ovalchat a month ago. Looks like I'll have to do one! Got any details? Year, driver, body style (wagon or coupe)?

DS420's are not rare to get hold of as almost every funeral director has them although they mostly have Volvo and Jaguar limos and hearses now, plus they sell them very cheaply when they are taken out of service :D

Thanks for solving that mystery for me! In other words, in a few more years they'll probably be nearly extinct?

Nice! Not truly a 'one off' though! I've emailed the seller and shown him mine :lol:

It does look better built than mine though, it's a much smoother join for starters

Whoa! You weren't kidding. Most seem to be from one seller in particular though.

I think I just managed slip-up of the week, by doing this to a baseplate I was drilling!

Posted Image

The drill slipped off the rivet and shattered the front of the base, luckily the axle is still in there and usable

I few minutes after that I was drilling out a Corgi Juniors Mercedes, the same thing happened and the drill went straight through the suspension bar, snapping it off :lol:

Not one of my best days.......
