This whole business with autonomous cars scare me. We're seeing more and more of this tech in cars. We are substituting technology for good driving habits. What happens when someone who has only driven in one of these "nanny cars" gets into an older vehicle without this tech. Yea, sends chill down my spine. People will get hurt.
But, this is off topic so back to computer assisted flying.
One tiny comment regarding cars then back to planes.
I was driving my Rav 4 a year ago. Stopped behind a car making a left turn.....1 lane each way, so there was no where for me to go. I checked in my rear view mirror and noticed a very new Mercedes SUV coming up on my at about 35 mph with no intention of stopping. I realized my Rav 4 was about to get rear ended and totaled and pondered how bad my injuries would be. Seconds before impact the Mercedes SUV made a sudden emergency stop with no screeching of tires and stopped with 3 feet to spare. WOW!!! Car in front turned....I proceeded and watched in my mirror as the Mercedes SUV sat there for 30 seconds with the 4 way flashes flashing. Finally the car permitted the driver to continue driving. Seeing the 4 way flashers activated makes me think an automatic braking system kicked in and saved me. I drive older cars...manual shift....some with carbs and points and ignition plus I ride older motor bikes.

When things go wrong (bird strikes and weather etc)....having a pilot up front makes the difference most of the time. Occasionally the pilot can not figure out the issue and disaster is the result, but there are so many stories of pilots saving the passengers lives when a bad situation unfolds. I really do not see the day when there is no pilot.
It is the same with cars that drive themselves. What happens when owners get lazy and do not clean the sensors of these self driving cars? Or when these self driving cars are 15 years old and poorly maintained.

Thanks.

This is a sad thing to happen but from what I can tell, most if not all shows seem to be cancelled this year. It is the reality of the situation.
Things will be better in 2021.
Stay safe everyone.

Quick update. My wife spent six days in the hospital with Covid-19. I've managed to ride it out at home. It's been rough, but she's back home and we're both on the mend. Trust me, you do NOT want this bug!

This is very good news. You have made my day. I was quite worried for both of you.
-
Wow very cool to see all your photos. You had some fun memories with your Jeep.
-
The latest video is up. My wife is quite enjoying working on cars.....it seems I married a unicorn. This video includes bonus bikini beach footage....her idea....not that I disapprove.

It is a difficult year for all events. I wish the Nats 2020 committee all the very best of luck and I hope it all works out.
-
That is a beauty...what year is it? Did you ever take it to any of the WW2 anniversary events?
-
This is weird. I'll look into this.

Kudos for using the two bucket system!
Good for you to notice. I was surprised when she used 2 wash mits as well...that is the first time I've seen that.

Dang I was hoping this might be in reference to the image upload size limit..... still a welcome change.
I poked around in the admin controls and could find nothing that permits larger image file sizes for uploading.

I did. I have been writing the posts in Thunderbird emails and saving as drafts- that codes the urls into links. There's the rub! Right-clicking yields an option to copy and paste as plain text. Rich text code removed- problem solved- please share. Thanks, Steve! Sorry for the inconvenience, and huge appreication for all you for modeldom. Cheers!
Good to know...I've had code get scrambled many time with stuff like that. And that will drive anyone to drink.
Thanks for your kind words regarding my efforts on ARC. I'm pleased to say that bigger updates begin today.

Wow- I just can't edit this post to make the images work- sorry.
Did you figure out the issue with the image links? I had a look but couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Long ago I was asked that I separate the models of actual spacecraft from the models of Sci-fi in the gallery section. I did that and then I figured it made sense to create separate forums for each group of models on the forum. Until now I had not heard of the company Realspace. I just checked out their site...it's good to see.
Sorry for the confusion.

Mai loves these comments...keep them coming!!

You married up.
Rick L.
Yup. I have no complaints. She is very easy on the eyes.

She said she also wants to fix motorbikes, so l will be letting her work on some of my '80's sportbikes.

My wife "Mai" has created her own Youtube channel. Her channel is called "Mai Sexy Garage" and focuses on fixing and restoring various cars. In today's video she diagnoses and fixes a no spark problem on a dead 1995 Honda Del Sol and as an added bonus there is a bikini intermission (her idea) in the middle of the video. The ending is priceless when she realized she actually can fix a non-running car.
Please subscribe to her channel........she needs subscribers.
Thank you everyone!!

Guess what I have sent Diego back in 2018: an email about this. And was told a march 2019 release. One year later and nothing to show for. So same thing has has been going on since 2015. And people get upset when I say something about this? People get upset when I say I sourced my own material?
Maybe you should act upon your own words and send a PM, not responding to a post you have no business with.
PS: all posts reported by me so the admins can sort this.
So you reported this thread 6 times with no message for the moderators to know why you reported the posts?
You are upset with a manufacturer that talked about a product that was never released?
Doesn't look like much I can do. I'm assuming you did not pay for any product, so I see no issue to act on.
You do have my sympathies that you really want certain markings and they are not available, I know that is very frustrating.
Today is Steve Bamford's Birthday!
