M2 Christmas Bundle

These are great models Nigels and I know you have a huge collection of these type of vehicles. Do you know how many you have so far?

Ahhh...Hooker Headers...... bring back memories for me. Back then, early 70's, there were two types of Headers the cheaper kind and the 'Tuned' kind. The tuned kind were the best for Horsepower and sound because each pipe was exactly the same length and deflection so each cylinder had the same back pressure. I wanted the best for my go-fast car so I bought a set of Tuned Hooker Headers and with a couple of straight through Thrush Mufflers (brand name) gave the car a deep throaty sound that no modern cars can duplicate.

Forgive the picture as its a shame that the 50 year old pictures have started to fade. Wish they had Clear Plastic Laminates back then.

Oh, I know exactly how many M2's I've got, I keep a spreadsheet so I don't end up duplicating models accidentally, although the odd one I may get 2 of if I really really like it

Nice car you got there Super, I've always wanted one like it, but frankly our roads are too congested and too narrow for the big old american muscle cars.  Add to that the current 'green agenda' and I doubt it will be possible to afford the fuel for any combustion engined car over here let alone a muscle car.  The current declared government aim is to ban the sales of all new combustion engined vehicles (except hybrids) by the year 2030, so that leaves us with 10 years to enjoy real cars that can drive more than 200 miles without needing a stop-over to recharge (I'm not including hybrids as I think they are the worst invention ever and new sales of which are due to be banned also I think by 2035).  At this time there seems no appetite for Hydrogen Fuel Cell cars which in my opinion is just stupid as they are greener than electric cars as they don't need lithium cells and the polution created by the manufacture of, and above all else can be re-fueled quickly to allow you to travel a good distance in a day.  So for now I'll stick with my dirty old Mercedes until they price me off the road...
