Yes indeed, Chicago would be just like San Francisco is today!

In this unpublished picture taken by the NSA during a Domerstic-Spying session in Oakland, mayor Gavin Newsom is being given the Peace Treatment by city councilman Gerardo Sandoval, while Al Franken is exercising his constitutional right to do any minor he wants.

Hey, Larry!
Looove your proposition! Lobsters and Thingies! What more could I want in life!
I am packing already!

[tjsguns]

Al Franken MUST be the one on the bottom!! He's ALWAYS got his mouth open!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Not for long. As soon as Ron Hershman will stop listening to him on "Hot Air Amerika", they will get off the air because of a lack of... listeners.
One can only preach so much to the choir, at which point the choir listens no more.
The advertisers are deserting that ship faster than Soros can write checks to plug the holes. :roll:

And now, back to our regularly scheduled program...

[TSR]

Well Edo, we are awaiting your latest from Chocoland...

[Edo]

Dokk, don't you hate when people mix slotcars with politics!

Lots of news and pics by the end of the week as new arrivals and the 2nd proxy race will take place!!!

[Edo]

Gentlemen
Just in time for the 2nd leg of the proxy Thingie race: another outstanding entry is the "fast and scratchbuilt" cat by Lowrider, from England:





26D Mabuchi, brass chassis with Dynamic inline motor mount and a Lancer Hornet (repop) body!
Still waiting for Endbell's Shinodas and 2 more entries from GB.
Endless happiness in Thingie country :up:

Dokk, don't you hate when people mix slotcars with politics!

Especially when someone from Chocoland mixes a Lancer Hornet with a BZ "Banshee"

[tjsguns]

8) 8) I predict that the Banshee will kick butt!! VERY nice job on that frame!!
I, too, have been "experimenting" w/ 26D's in thingie frames. I've got to the point where they are almost as fast as some of my fastest 16Ds.
Why did the 26Ds disappear from the scene so quickly? :? :?

[don.siegel]

Yep, excellent job on that Banshee; I hope it doesn't run as good as it looks... oops, no I didn't mean to say that, I bet it runs as good as it looks!

Tom, down in the trenches the 26D didn't disappear all that fast! We used 'em for a relatively long time, because they were cheap and fast, and we (the people...) weren't going to compete with Steube and Cukras anyway...

And they had a second (and third) life in some of the Riggen and other RTR cars....

[tjsguns]

Latest 26D "Experiment".
A modified Champion frame (no, that's NOT my sloppy soldering...all I did was clean it up) with a HEAVILY modified Champion 26D, "experimental" 26D arm by tjsguns.
For such a heavy frame this one ran at WARP speed during the road test and handled VERY well. No, it won't be entered this year.

Tom
indeed, from informal preliminary test, the Banshee does indeed look very fast even on my 24m Carrera!

More pictures of extraordinary new Thingies coming soon!

[32Deuce]

Nice job "low" man.

Love those Banshees. Someone should have built a 1/1.

[32Deuce]

Edo,
Can we see the top of Lowriders Banshee chassis, please?

Looks like some "hinging" might be going on there!

Or did he "Iso"-ize it?

Deuce

[Edo]

Hi Deuce

PS Deuce, your Hornet with Ortmann's is now working much better!!!

Very nice Dyna-Scratch chassis. With that rewound FT26 mill, that thing ought to rock!
Ortmann Tires Rulz!

Hi Deuce
I am already having nightmares about going to the Post office and send back all those beauties. Maybe SwissPost will go on strike for years to come and nothing will be able to leave... 8)
Anyway, here's Endbell's delicately painted Mongoose all ready to go (you can see the Shrike body in the background which will be assembled soon (what responsibility!!!):







You should see it run!
2 days to the 2nd proxy Thingie race!!!
E.(Happier and happier and happier and...)
