Saw the new batmobile a few years back now in "The Cars of the Stars" in Keswick it looks so long and narrow, but the tyres are something else. The owner told us that it is a pain to drive though..

I remember having the little corgi/dinky version as a kid.  Had the working missile launcher things, used to fire match stiks about 2 feet in the air.

I know it well Mike.

8 miles to work from home evry day, Worked at the food factory as an engineer.


As well as the Batmobile which mysteriously dispeared I also had the gold James Bond Card with the pop up shild and front missiles.  Sadly missing as well.



But I have still got my horby trains (Brittani steam loco, 3 pullman coches and mail coach) bought for me as I was born in 1961 (no tracks left though) and I also have a horse drawn fire tender with the manual up/down pump on a trailer.  tried to value it on fleabay but the one I found just are not in the same condition or origial quality as mine.

The good old days eh!

It's amazing what you can do with an old VDub and a pot of bodyfiller !!!!

Like all the "oldies" .... er, "older" ... members with longer memories ... I prefer the original. Wouldn't say "no" to a cruise in the new one though !

Sorry Skruntie but I have just recovered from my first set of exams yesterday!

Anyway, I think you may have found my perfect car. :y  It certainly my kind of image; you know, a bit gothie!  I think it runs on a gas jet turbine (far cheaper than petrol I am told) and has a cruising speed of 300mph, top speed 350mph, and a 0-60 in 1.5 seconds, with radar detection, anti-congestion charge stealth invisable shield and lazer guns to disintergrate anything that gets in the way i.e. boy racers, tractors, and any car chosen!     That will all do quite nicely for the moment! ;D ;D ;D :y

This model superceded the 1960s original version based on a Ford Mustang (didn't come with radio or a heater!)
