It was a bold move going with that naming. I wonder how many sales they lost as a result. 🤔

Oh, the fun hasn't stopped! Try looking up your favorite British Broadcasting Corp station. Or recipes for your favorite dessert, banana cream pie. :shock:

Not sure if mentioned yet, but always thought Nitro Hawk was a pretty badass name.



Now, off to see what we get searching banana cream pie. Might as well see what I get with a Boston cream pie while I'm at it. :D

Something tells me that we've veered off topic a touch here. Why don't we all just settle down a bit, kick back with a couple chicks and a cup of coffee, and redirect back to where we should be, looking at Midnight Pumpkins! :mrgreen:

Not even close: Tamiya Avante #1 and then #2 has to be Tamiya Vanquish (before there were legal complications with Aston Martin??? But that is weird because the Tamiya Vanquish came out in 1988 with the Aston Martin coming out in 2001).
