Great find Warwick. I had to see all 311 pics. There's nothing like doing a job properly.
It wouldn't surprise me if Juha commissioned that work himself. He does have a large collection of his old cars and I did read a while back about a restoration project underway.

found it on toymods.


yes very very awesome job.... i went through all the pics.
plus the S4, the model A and the FF1600 :lol:

yeah i reckon either juha commisioned it, or he popped in due to his other links with the company. apparantly his collection is rather cool....

I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave you special powers. The orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. So i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. I wish it were true!
