If you're asking about your old models, I don't know. If your are asking about Airfix in general, then they mad a comeback in recent years. They brought manufacturing back into the UK and started making the plastic parts here again for a re-launch. I can't remember who owns them now though.

I know he's not everyone's cup of tea but I just love watching him drive an F1 car.

No doubting his ability. He's a phenomenal driver.

Saying that, the GP3 series this year is waaay more exciting than F1. 2 races to go, 2 points between the top two (much like MotoGP this year, as I'm sure TSS will agree!)

Plus they're all nutters.

The MotoGP season is especially exciting this year because Vale might get his 10th World Title at the age of 36. He's so famous around the world that all you have to do to Google him is type Vale [pronounced Val-lé] and Valentino Rossi will be the 2nd answer after Vale, the place. Type anything closer to his name than that and he'll be the top answer.

Boringly, my favourite motorcycle racer of all time extended his lead over Jorge Lorenzo today at Motegi, by another 4 points to 18 with 3 races to go. You get 25 for first then 20, 16, 13, 11, 10, etc down to 1, so it's easily caught, but I've a feeling he just might actually do it. He'll have to be the undisputed GOAT then. :)

Dani Pedrosa won in the wet. Who'da thought it.?

Lewis Hamilton, who's first love is motorbikes, by the way, got to meet Rossi for the first time in 2013 and was overawed and tongue-tied. :)

Was a good race. Really looked like Lorenzo had it, but no. Just watching a documentary called Speed about the 2001 season. Good stuff.
 
So the campaign for the UK to stay in the European Union is formally launched today. I'm hoping we get a lot more facts than we have at the moment before we have to vote. So far it's just words. Not sure how people can know which way to go before finding out what David Cameron can get changed. Here's the start of potentially 2 years of bickering by both sides,,,,sigh.
 
Can give people all the facts you like...this is a vote that will come down to emotion. I wish I could magic us out, but not as easy as that....leaving could be so complicated and full of unforeseen consequences. This in the end is what stopped the Scots voting to leave the UK....go with emotion and you come out into some fairyland where all is ok or stay in and accept the devil you know.
 
I don't have any emotion about it at the moment so I am hoping for some facts. I can see plenty or reasons to leave but staying is less obvious apart from the economic ones. I think people will probably go for the safe option but ultimately it may depend on how much the EU piss us off over the next 2 years. If there was a vote at the moment I think it would be very tight.
