Mount the Monster on the hood. :D

then it'll be a monster'd monster! :p:lol: a great idea though! will do! :D

Don't wrap it around a tree mate!!! :D:lol::blink:

I'll definitely try not to! speaking of which.. this is what happened when happily cruising along our local country roads and a Kangaroo (and a good sized one) jumped out in front of me back on boxing day 2005.. they say its better to just hit them rather than swerve but my natural reflex response was to try avoid him, I got the left side tires off the side of the road and the car just drifted away from me.. bang smack head on into a power pole. The car was an instant write off but I only sustained minor injuries. A few broken ribs, dislocated left knee cap when it hit the dashboard, and a scar on my forehead when my head hit the steering wheel (momo race, no airbag). This is a 1995 model VS Commodore. It stood up to the crash quite well actually! Considering I hit the pole at 40mph+ by the time some speed washed off.. ohh and I did actually clip the Roo too! there was a chunk of brown fur on the right front guard!

Oooh. Sweet ride indeed. :wub: And it comes in white too. Time to apply Roy's 1S decal now, Spanner. B))

I'd receive those yesterday! VF-1A Angel Birds v.2 1/60 and VF-1A Hikaru DYRL v.2 1/60 with Super&Strike parts! Very lucky to get the Angel Birds at reasonable price!

Wow! How much reasonable is reasonable for Angel Birds? ;)

My newest addition! VF-2SS SAP ARMOR!

Nice! I know. I know. But It's still looks nice. ^_^ Atleast it's good to know that stands are included in the separate SAP release. Hope I can get mine today EOD at work. Based on tracking it's already been picked up by our mail guy and it's already in the mail distribution center. If not, then I will see those on Monday when I get back. :D

I know right! how cool would some vinyl look on it! I cant remember where I saw it but there was this guy who put some vinyls on his Subaru and it looked kinda cool! B))

Spanner was a trade, I gave him a brand new MP Transformers Shockwave Takara and he gave me the VF-1A Angel birds v.2 1/60

Whatever that is its cool! ^^^^^

I like things that if you keep it 50 years people will be like wtf is that!

Haha thanks man. It's a critter from the movie critters. Found an artist on fb that makes them. Not cheap but it's 100 percent handmade and painted

Maybe a better way to put is: A 4 door Camaro, with a Vette's heart.

and yes, absolutely, that is one of the sweetest engines i've ever played with.

hehe! yep that's it exactly! :D

this will be my fourth LS engine'd car.. had three LS1 Commodore's in the past which were good but but the 5.7's started showing their age eventually. One also was a little slappy and tended to burn more oil than the others ever did.

woops! out of thread topic again! :p I guess im just in a constant state of buzz with my new car! :D:rolleyes:

Bought this as a bday gift to myselfattachicon.gif20160721_171231.jpg

I love it! I used to watch that movie when i was a kid at least once a week! What can i say I love low budget sci-fi.

That statue seems to be done really well. Congratulations!

Haha thanks guys. He is probably my favorite toy that's well...a toy. Like I said not cheap. Artist is a cool guy tho. I have 2 other krites and a baby critter that he's made years ago. One is a puppet similar to a boglin. They are not as high end or accurate as this one tho. I love this guy. Oh and the teeth are a hard plastic
