@john-barry Hey John, knowing how keen you are on your little characters, to find your Chain Laurie go to this seller at e-bay.fr carreravroom https://www.ebay.com/str/carreravroom/ though please do not think I have such ladies chained to my 1/43 Bugattis.
This is about as close you'd get to finding someone you could take home to meet Mama' as you'll find chez M. Carreravroom
I had no idea of the BROAD RANGE of these figures!
I imagine BROAD RANGE refers to the legs akimbo - or perhaps you've not visited M. Carreravroom emporium yet ! ? I found them by chance, because he also does great Bugatti resin kits. (Honestly)
@john-barry Your Chain Laurie looks like a far more practical girl - and Mama would probably like her too.
OMG can looks ever be deceiving Charles.....beware! That trucker broad is none other than the infamous career criminal Busty Betty Bibbs. She is mean to the core and has been chronicled in many Forum tales in recent years. She would have tea at your Mother's house and leave with all of her jewelry. She is wanted in most states including Alaska and has numerous aliases, but has an uncanny way of staying one step ahead of the law. JayBee spent many years in the trucking biz and knows her well it seems.

Yeah I believe you found them by chance Charles...I mean golly gee why wouldn't I? Oh and I will buy some of those shares in the Tucker Motor Company that you have for sale too; thanks for including me in this once in a lifetime offer.
@john-barry John you, and others may find the present track less 'pure' than Mahalia's and it doesn't convey the sultry south in quite the same way, but it contains a brilliant twist on the lyrics 'your daddy's rich' when he changes it to "Your mama's rich, and your daddy's good lookin'.......he had t' be good lookin' evr'y time that your mama get lonely". It speaks of another type of girl again, and besides, Gene Vincent is always good to hear!
@jack-dodds I'll bet he'll know where she's holed-up even as we write.
Yeah they go back a long way...some say they once had a thing goin' and it ended badly I remember JayBee emotionally mentioning his first sight of her in a truck stop bar years ago; he said......
"Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine."
