Sorry Chaps! Been there done that found it uninteresting. No enthusiasm to go there again.

While not a commercial thing try to imagine a triumph TR 4A scaley car with "IMSA" flares stolen from a Porsche 935 at the back, putty flares & huge spoiler on the front, and at teh back in front of the wing - the thumper motor from a large scale motor cycle model. Looked hilarious!
I love the idea of letting the imagination rip. As long as it's form over function rather than the other way round. (or am I confused)
For many years I've wanted to build a 3 wheel road car that looks like a "real" (eg 70's LMP) sports car at the front & a wild mo'bike / F3 shape at the back. I reckon I should have a bash at carving it now I have a "bike" drive train to use.
Gentlemen - start your daft-heads. Lets see what we can do!

Alfetta got some broccoli for lunch, but otherwise the consensus is general:
-Larry, you are SICK.
Keep at it!

The Italians are running Thingies at next years Turin Vintage Meeting.
I have this BZ Banshee put to one side for the event.

I also have these wooden cars, had them for some years and not sure who carved them, sorry about the old digital picture, taken by a 'steam camera'

Hi Mr.philsmith
great wooden cars!!! Is it possible to see them underneath (chassis and motor)?
BTW Great Banshee your bringing to the vintage race in Torino. I might bring this Classic Gamma Ray I just received today:

McLaren was it you who was working on a carbon fiber chassis? If yes could that be the beginning of a new crop of Thingies coming out of SlotForum's most creative modelers and scratchbuilders?
(that would beat the new Subayota ninscx.it release in excitement !!!)
Alfetta what about showing your "been there done that found it uninteresting" Thingies?
We are trying to keep this thread going for very long

But that was my first attempt. I've also made a chassis for a Lotus Elise, but it's tiny and hard to see in any kind of picture.
I want to make another chassis, but I've not got a reason to yet...
Maybe the next proxy event...
