Challenge 386: The flying car
I've been trying to think of ways of tempting GKB back to the Friday Challenge, and away from the demands of his retirement (ha!). I tested the water with an aeronautical query in the Reader's Gallery this week, which sure enough elicited a response, so I thought a plane-related Challenge might be enough to do the job. Here's a bright red sports car (is there any other kind?). I was thinking it would make a great basis for a flying car - it only needs the addition of wings and, perhaps, a pilot. Let's see way you can do... High res is here  |

As I understand its a Ford Mustang Fastback ~1967. There are later versions. Not that I am into cars though, but do like the V8 sound from Detroit, especially when see it in several classic US films. Classic Muscle car! |

Re: Challenge 386: The flying car
Thanks Trevor, I wasn't sure with that grill on the front. I saw a Mustang for sale a few years ago, '77 or '78 I think, red with black stripe, new engine, new tyres, beautiful, I was tempted to make an offer but the reality of parking, maintenance and fuel costs ended that dream! _________________ “Art Is Never Finished, Only Abandoned.” |

In one of the films he and Ron try to get to school in a flying Ford Anglia - not quite as glamorous admittedly ...

Congratulations with your new title Ahmed! Josephine, one of neighbours had Ford Anglia, but his son could never walk on his front lawn it was "Wembley Turf" . He as a friend, played at my place.... my dad did not care so much, no comment on the other side |

Re: Challenge 386: The flying car
Well that will be great it if it is. Again, I don't follow cars. The Jota was made by Laverda (Italy) (Family name). Idiocentric. Well over engineered. (someone is corrupting my comments, so bye for now) |

Re: Challenge 386: The flying car
looked again. I guess I was wrong. As stated, not an expert on cars. Thanks Artwell |

Hi Steve I couldn't miss out on this one but I did want to have a bash at last week's challenge.

Thought it might look better if the pilot remembered to retract the undercarriage  _________________ My neighbour knocked on my door at 2:30am this morning, can you believe that 2:30am?! Luckily for him I was still up playing my Bagpipes. |
