Wow.. very nice, Lou! Quite realistic, especially given the restrictions
that Pinewood rules put on the dimensions.
Oh, and you're right about the "Ambiguously Gay Duo" thing.. ha!!

Jim Ellis was kind enough to post my Sunbeam race cars on his website. Use
the
following link to get there:

Once there, look under HILLMAN and there they are, along with Louie's
trophy.
The answer to the question is: Hey, it's my daughter. She wanted a Barbie
car,
so I painted it pink! Red hearts and red race stripes go with pink. I didn't
realize until afterward that the vehicle looked like something that would be
driven by the "Ambiguously Gay Duo". So when it came time to add the driver,
I
wanted to use a female. "Posh" Spice was $1.00 at Toys R Us, so that was
what
I got. My wife was worried abot the anatomically correct driver, so I
intentionaly raised her head above the level of the roll bar! Men are soooo
bad. Lou
