Tony, Great model. That roof design looks great, and the color scheme is very striking and very remniscent of fast food chains. I also like the little flip-up counter. That's a detail I wouldn't have remembered to include, so my minifigs would have (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.town)

Hi again. I'm really getting into these little cars. Those wheels from the wee pull-back motor sets just cry out to be used. Again, I'm reduced to CADding it up to get anything like a decent picture. This one's a two seater cabriolet, built after I (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.town, lugnet.loc.au)
