There some collectors that pointed out that it was 85% correct. So because of the 85% comments...

... from 85% of the collectors the 85% car was corrected from the 85% to more than 85%. Thank goodness for the 85%ers! (inside joke that everyone might not get)

;):D:))

(PIC) Are you the 85% judge? What makes you think you have a lock on what can be "correctly"...

..deemed 85%? I'll be my own judge. You're really the one here who has egg on your face; I only agree to 85% of what you said anyway. I mean really, let's not be too hasty...85% of the time these pics are wrong, so why are we even dicussing it?

On a dicussion fourm no less! Shameful!

85 people found that 85% of the time 85 scale model cars, costing $85.00 each are only 85% accurate yet 85% of those who purcahse $85.00 models are only 85% satisfied, 85% of the time.

My new 1/18 model...Like it?

You are so right, Christopher, so right !

I wish they would do the graphics on the car with the caricature of "Jungle Jim" swinging through the trees. That seems to be a more interesting livery.

And of course a figure of Jim and "Jungle Pam".

Read.....

Hey Marlowe, it's item #AW1112 - expected March 2013.

This 1:18 scale "JUNGLE JIM" CAMARO is made by AutoWorld, part of their "Legends of the 1/4 Mile" series.

I thought it would be a nice compliment piece to the other period drag "stuff" I have.

Jungle Pam? Bill do you remember what she looked like? That's a topic for a different kind of forum.
