In the last month I've seen.....

A beautiful vintage Triumph Spitfire................ towing a trailer with a riding lawn mower.

A fairly late model Porsche Boxster ..................... with a pizza delivery sign on the hood.

A set of those offensive "mock" man parts hanging from the hitch of a ....... Nissan Sentra.

Florida is a strange place. :isadizzy:

Hmm. Maybe that's why I like the Smart.

You can't look at those egg planes without thinking about Monogram's Flapjack!

I had one of those as a kid, actually I kept up with it until I went in the Army when I was 18 and my priorities changed. It was really kinda cool the wings flapped, the prop turned and the machine guns recoilled.

It's from back in the days of the Monogram Snaptite models. Two AA batteries power a motor that spins the prop and also runs a gear box that flaps the wings and runs the gun barrels in/out like an inline twin. Mine might just still be at Dad's house.

Mike Stone put one into FS, but without the animated wings and guns. But he did add a funky landing gear animation that would make Monogram proud!
