Hi.
Damn... I hope Dan is OK. I already been to too
many funerals in the past few years.
Still, good to see yours, and a few other familiar
people here. And the wealth of info is as good
as ever. Last year was a tough one, didn't help that
comcast dropped newsgroups. At least giganews
is reasonable, so here I am again. (read kid got back
from Iraq OK, Some of the stories are almost unbelievable
and the best news of all, he is moving back here soon)
I couldn't believe it when I unwrapped presents and
found models. (was not allowed to do a shake test first)
And for some unknown reason, I am starting to
like car models, I have not built one since the
1970's. So I have a new reason in modeling now.
(actually working on an Alan 1/35 BA 20 armored car
now, what a nice little kit) Still torn between one
of the 1/24 917's, one of which is a Le Mans resin kit.
(No 20, Joe Sifferet) or the other a Union 1/24 917K
Martini Racing, and the Tamiya 1/12 Honda. I have been
sitting on a Gunze Sangyo Ferrari 250 GTO, but it looks
like a real PITA !
Well, I could have worse choices to make in life lol...

I expect to be around here for awhile yet. I don't know what I'd do
with a computer without this place.
Glad to hear the son's back. Too many aren't.
My car tastes generally stay with Detroit Iron from the horseless
carriages to the '80s. I have a couple newer items but I'm not a big
fan of modern 4-wheel appliances.
Shuffling through vast amounts of old paperwork since my mother passed
away, I found my baby book and I see that at 9 months I was hooked on
airplanes and toy cars. Obviously my condition is congenital. ;)

Dan is alive and well at Scale Reproductions in Louisville. The mon-kee is
well, too.
