    What car do you first remember your father owning?

    Seeing the upcoming ICM Ford Model A, my mind went back to the first car I remember my father owning - It was a Morris 10 either 1946 or 1947.. so it wasn't a spring chicken when I sat in it in the early 60's - I do remember my paternal grandfather having a 50's Vauxhall Velox, like an American...

    No Bench Time.................

    Had first session - it advises you to give it ten minutes, just to check that you don't get any adverse reaction. Then build up to an hour a day, half an hour in the morning on low light, and the same time in the evening on high. Quite impressed with the thing, I was expecting it to be a little...

    No Bench Time.................

    Laffly V15T?

    Just ordered the 1/35 ICM French Laffly V15T ( at a very nice price! ). Looking at the instructions ( from Scalemates ) I'm puzzled to see that it's right hand drive! - I thought that all European vehicles ( apart from the UK ) were left hand drive. Was the Laffly an oddity, or were RHD vehicles...
