Everything works just like on the real thing.

Pretty cool model. I liked the detailed engine and the sprung tires.

Peugeot.
A friend of mine, in the '80s, had one (a Peugeot); it made my old Ford seem like a paragon of reliability, and classic '70's Detroit heavy metal would survive an accident better than French tin plate.

And here's a paper model of the Columbo's car. That video is great. Thanks John.

Peugeot is exactly what I was thinking...not sure why I said Volvo.
I knew Trabant didn't seem right.

Its funny how bad some cars were, and yet we drove them into the ground.

I can remember owning:

- a VW with no floor...seriously, no floor under the drivers feet.
I rested my left foot on the heater tube, and my right on the center hump.
A bitch driving it in through puddles.

- a Toyota with no front fenders. Actually, it had fenders...made of cardboard and body filler and black paint.
(The car was piss yellow...not sure why I used black paint?!)

- a Grand prix, with a large chain bolted to the floor of the Trunk (the Boot)
and then looped over the rear Bumper to hold it on the car.
A very large chrome and steel Bumper! lol

ah times have changed.

err sorry...what was this thread about?
