    I believe they stopped using the 2 speed transmission in 1968. Or possibly 67. My day bought me an ol rusty 68 Chevelle back in late 70s for a hundred and fifty bucks. So I guess we both had good deals on ol cars back in the day.

    Bburago was great in the 80s. Im going to get into a reference that nobody will get. There was this French comic series, Pif et Hercule, and the ads in the back had Bburagos, typically Group B cars, like the Audi Quattro and the Peugot 405. I never got those (and now, those runs are insanely prices), but got into collecting them and still have some of their iconic models. The 57 Corvette is nice, for the era, of early 90s. They peaked in 95 with the Ferrari F-50 I think. Quality was great and details were phenomenal. BUt after that, they were getting trounced by Maisto, and I bought less and less of them. They were doing more cash grab type models, re-releases, special editions instead of cool cars (likely due to licensing issues, as well as Italian economy collapsing). They didnt have many US cars, though they had a 90s F150 Lightning that I never got lol. Theyre basically at the border between toy and collector pieces. I know I played with them, even if I was careful of them. WIsh I kept the boxes and the certificates for them, but not like Im ever selling them.

    I think Dodge will survive. Whoever is running it is not doing a good job. In my 39 years at transit, the most durable and cars were Dodge/Plymouth. The M-bodies the K-cars were indestructible and comfortable. The Dodge Spirit was slow but roomy and all went past 200k. The Status were a little uncomfortable but reliable. Right before I retired, I had a Grand Caravan assigned to me. Roomy and like all Dodges, cold-ass A/C. Everything else they bought couldn't handle it (Tempos, Cavaliers, Taurus, MV-1). Our work was 90% city miles with extensive idling. Most cars worked 2-3 shifts per day. We had a couple of Neons too, but it didn't work out.

    This reminds me of a Mattel hot wheel they released of a combat medic van with real riders and it has this same issue with the tires rubbing in the wheel well. I gotta fix it but I've been putting it off. I will probably cut the axle slots a little deeper and J. B. Weld the axles in place. That should fix the problem.

  • @mikedison1149
    @mikedison114913 күн бұрын

    Well dang. I guess some castings have issues. If it was a hot wheel. I could fix it by cutting the axle slot a little deeper in the base and then J. B. Weld in the axle. That's because the wheels roll on the axle. A greenlight has the wheel fixed to the axle so you can't J. B. Weld them in place. The only solution would be to use Hot Wheels tires and rims and axles. Then you could cut the slots deeper and weld them in. That's if the axle is long enough. If I have an issue with the axle that's not long enough I cut it in the middle and weld them into an ink pen tube that's cut to the length I need. Some guys use tubing from Hobby Lobby some use the sticks from Q tips. I use an ink pen tube everybody has their own way of doing things. Another thing I do if the axle is too long. I bend it in to a small U shape and bend each end with the wheel back to a 90 degree till it fits the base and doesn't interfere with the interior and body. I also J . B . Weld them in place too. Anywho. ✌🏾😎

    Sorry Im late with my comment. That is a strange O405N. It looks like an 8 lug wheel, the 18 inch, not the usual 22.5 rims. There were a few models made that way for the Swiss Post transit, though most where O405N 9Ls, the shorter 9 meters. This is a 12m bus clearly. Most people dont know about the German bus standards, the VoV (the middle o has an umlaut). This one is the VoVII, the second standard, where they had the same doors, windows, panels, windshields etc. Just the nose and bumpers could be different, so MAN, MB, Neoplan, all look the same. In fact, my bus, the DAC, is derived from the MAN SL, with was a VoV I, though it wasnt meant for the German market, so it has three doors, not two. As a fun random fact, the DeLorean DMC-80 was also a VoV-II, since it was based on the MB if I recall. It had slight changes to the nose, the headlights, and a few estethic elements, since it was meant for the US market. I ranted enough lol. Great little model. I do love that era plastic models. They had nice quality.
