Ehm.. Nico, you bought a real freakin engine just to be able to model this car ?! you know... there are many definitions to insanity, and i'm afraid you suffer from one of them.

hehehe, cheers guys, I'll tell you what... I'm also looking for a complete fiat 500 as well, I think I'll have one here within a month or two

Take care with your next car, don't choose a Lamborghini for example, cause you'll have to buy it

hey Curt, .. just a thought.

I'll bet if you provide some of the drawing details, .. that maybe some of the Rhino's might do a little pro-bono work in helping you get the modeling done on that engine ... ?? ...you know, .. like Team Nico ?? ..you can still be Team Leader though ...

I'll volunteer to model all the hoses. ...hehe... j/k, .. you can send something tough.

Hey Mouse, thanks for the link!, yes I have seen the 695 SS

...is that thing regular scale

Not sure what you mean Chris, you mean if this is what it should look like in real live? (must be a language barrier thing )

[ivox3]

I'm saying, .. is that officially manufactured size ? ...if so, .. I didn't realize how small they are.. ..very cool.

[NicoR44]

Ah, yes it is! the wheel base is only 184cm and it's only 511kg
I bought mine today for only 1800 euro, no rust at all the body is in mint condition

[ivox3]
