    first car was a mini clubman estate. about 23 ish years ago. built the engine myself. 998 engine, omega pistons, gapless rings, all ballanced and lightened. 270 fast road cam and twin carbs. 105 bhp at the wheels and had nearly 130 mph out of her. engine went into my next car, a mini pick up that was lowered by an inch and a half. by god that was a fun car to drive. dont think anyone does a model of either car.

    like those alpine figures, might have to get someone to resculpt the arms for me, want him stood in the turret, unless i can get a figure for a commander stood ther and just use his head. dont really do figures. need the practice though. jeff

    guys, i am building an early prod tiger, going to have it refuelling in the snow. however i cant find a photo of one being refuelledin the field. would they have lifted the full grating above the fuel taank? also what colour should the interior of the comanders hatch be? i;m thinking red oxide. got lots more questions, such as what colour are german 50 gal drums and what colour would the base colour for a tiger be een if it was white washed? all answers gratefully recieved. jeff

    cheers guys, will try amazon and ebay for both the kits

    one thing to remeber is that with the virago you are doing the trims round the engine cases and a lot of the chrome were actually gold plated. maade this kit years ago and apart from the nasty seam on the tank, the rest of it is lovely. jeff

    if you want to go old school fighter try a slab side gsxr1100. also take a look at the streetfighters owners club and streetfighter riff raff. used to be a member and have still got my cbr 1000 fighter. those two clubs build some of the best bikes around. jeff

    saw vera at teesside airport a couple of weeks ago, was stunning to get so close and even inside it. took about 200 pics of all sorts like where the brake lines are run and what the landing gear bays are like inside, stuff you can never find on the net or books. would share them but i didnt realise i had a prob with my memory card and lost all but 7. gutted to say the least. awesome to see her start up and fly. simply stunning. jeff

    try the bovingdon tiger restoration website. got some really great pics. and also if i remember right(i usually build late prod tigers) i think the primer should be red oxide under the top coat. looking good so far though, kepp it up jeff

    guys, i'm building the academy tiger 1. it's got single link tracks and i have never used them before. whats the best way to put them tgether? the flat runs are ok,but how do it so i get them round te drive sprokets and idlers? to be honest i'm scared of doing them in case i bugger up a kit that have spent 3 years on and off building jeff
  21. streetfighterjeff

    bud , i dont want to rain on your parade, and i think you are doing a great job on Christine. but the scene wher moochie get killed doesn't have a bulldozer invloved. that come at the end of the film. in fact the book is better because they use a sewage gully gulper truck, it's painted pink and called petunia. the doi is looking good though. jeff

    cheers guys, sorry for not getting back earlier, been a nightmare at work.
  24. streetfighterjeff

  25. streetfighterjeff
