There's a fire engine here in Weymouth that isn't a fire engine, but a limousine. It's got "HIRE" instead of "FIRE", and all the other bits of wording are subtly different as well.

Show it or it doesn't exist! LOL

You might be interested in this one then Stargazer!

Eyes popped out of my head first time I saw it pull past me on the way home from work!  Novelty limos peaked a few years ago with different companies trying to out-do each other & fire engines became quite popular (including the odd pink one, popular with the ladies you see!).  This side of the pond, stretch limos don't really have the prestige thay they do in the US, they're usually hired for party's and such.  The novelty crowd cashed in on this.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Theres one around here thats had its water tank removed. And the space left turned into a micro night club accessed via the crew compartment.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

found this on U-tube ... a Hotel-i-copter
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EV6hxGf2RI&feature=related


Also found a vid of a CH-53 going down ..... lock failed & the tail folded sideways in flight.  You ought'a see what they (accidentally) did to the pilot after getting him out !!
you may as well all give up -- the truth is much stranger than fiction.

I'm not sick ... just a little unwell.

This is not a whif beacause it was really done. But it could be an inspiration:

Steam Aeroplanes

... silent to avoid detection by enemy forces, too ...  :wacko:

My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever; I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one:
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods:
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

That'd be the Type 6 then?  ;D

Pretty awesome modelling whatever it is, just the job for getting across the old FDR/DDR boundary fence.....  ;)
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
