James Allison: Renault may suffer less under exhaust ban
Renault technical director James Allison suggests that his team could lose out less than others in the Silverstone exhaust clampdown because the team’s side exit design means that the car’ aero balance will change less. Allison is the first technical … Continue reading

BUILDING DIECAST MODELS
I have built a few and like the simplisity of them. I do hate the engine bay tray on 1/25 scale though.
Was judt wondering who all like building diecast?
I have a "DREAM CAR" 1/24 diecast I am redoing for the 2nd time. First time the paint didn't work well. So she is striped to the bare metal now and I am smothing out the diecast mold likes and trying to clean up a few other areas. I am hoping to get this done in a week or 2 and gets some pics up. Dealing with a dead laptop at home and right now my only access is at work.
I would like to see some pics of some diecasts that fellow members have completely redone and not just detailed.

Source of wood-look material
Hey guys, made a trip to my local Lowes and found a nifty display of Georgia-Pacific vinyl siding samples. Each sample is 2 1/4" X 4 3/4" and made to look like textured wood grain. They come in about 9 or so

Birdman's New Ride: $2 million Bugatti Veyron
It seems that Birdman aka Bryan Williams has already grown tired of the Exelero he purchased back in February. The American rapper recently purchased yet another vehicle to add to his collection and, although his new Bugatti Veyron isn’t as expensive as the Exelero, it’s equally as impressive.
The rapper seems to have a thing for the color red too, as his $2 million fire flame red Veyron matches his red helicopter. According to Birdman "red is a fly color. It’s hot; represents heat. It’s the flyest color out there and it just blinds me."
Hopefully the color won’t blind him too much considering he’ll now be sitting in a 1001 HP quad-turbocharged W16 supercar. The funny part about that is the rapper insists he is not one of those guys that likes speed: "I’ve gone on the interstate and busted, maybe, 160 [mph] going to the Heat game. Besides that, I don’t really play with speed. I ain’t one of them that play in that world. I do like it ’cause it’s fly and the fastest car in the world and it’s expensive, but I don’t like playing with too much speed."
Somehow, we don’t believe that, but we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt for now. However, he can bet on the fact that we’ll be watching closely for his next speeding ticket.
