Al Reed is the king! - after me! ;-)

this looks pretty good, for me at least, 
im not sure how they should be painted, 
(even i have had many 4,5 original fuchs sets)
my standards are not so high, 



The chromed BRM wheels got also a touch of Black.
and yeah... they are with winter tyres ;-)
 Not a bad setup?


but ... the famous Fuchs detailer is the king,
to have nerves like steel 
or some great way to use professional stuff + lots of know how, 
how to do them right, BUT this is my first try to make, 
foochs replicas look even better. nd i had to try the BRM ´s too ;-)







its not an easy task, if you ask from me. :-)

vw open 2010 - kiikala
















ok, sorry bout the bad pictures, but i had my kid with me, no video camera, no rothmans panel van and there was plenty of friends there, so i have only couple of shots to show you what kind of cars you can find in this "vw-happening"...
there was a hemi challenger, loads of vettes, some pretty hairy european turbo cars like 10 sec old ford escorts, a Nissan GT-R, a monster turbo AUDI from estonia (with bigger than a jumbojet turbo) and plenty of bugs...but what was really strange, that the "names" of the finnish vw scene didnt show up in the line-up. maybe this wasn´t the best year for the fast vw´s?
OK, heeba had his bug at dyno in friday with 202 hp, and j. kemppi had 211 hp in his atmo-bug...my 3 year old boy slept pretty well even we were located allmost in the starting line... ;-)
daddys boy - the sweeeeet calming sound of the race engines...
...The slugs were there with the motorhome - but not with the race-cars... :-(
i had a tight time schedual, so i had to go at 14:45, well the exact same time when THOR the god of THUNDER wanted to have his show, its 17:37 now and the sky is loaded with lightnings, and a great thunder it sure is... after driving couple of minutes from the airfield, a huge rain started...and i mean - huge rain! check out the pictures....
