What's wrong with this picture?
 

My brother in law gave me this neat little diorama for Christmas. I counted 7 things that were wrong (but must admit I can't remember them all now).<HR>http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1073335068.jpg <HR>http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1073335079.jpg

Air hose too short. :)

First pic: the door knob is too large? :D

...and it's too "orange."

I don't know what's wrong with the picture, but I do know it's pretty neat.

Cool diarama. For what it is it looks fine to me. :-)

Isn't that the Swedish floor jack from Pelican? And shouldn't it be blue?

I don't see any beer... or Snap-On calendars for that matter.

Like Matt said, pretty neat. Wish someone would give me a well thought out present like that! Any idea where he got it?

He said got it at a model train shop.

You're right, it's cool for what it is, and was a great present. It's just fun to nitpick. :)

Actually that looks like an electric drill...

Here's the other thing he gave me...he's a car guy, and collects the exotic Hotwheels. He said if I'm smart I won't open it up and play with it. :( Like that Seinfeld episode with the woman who has all the old toys that can't be played with.

No data cable connecting the PC to Motech-driven 2.2 screamer motor!

John, I thought hte same thing. But it may have a wireless "airbus" card. :D

-12V battery?

-Car's not jacked up, but they're changing tires

-Doorknob

-Air line too short

-No data cable - there's a picture of the 356 on the screen. Maybe he's running PET? :)

Trying to remember the rest...

Whoa...I knew the 356 crowd would show up. :D

Is that air or electric? I see no compressor and the power seems to be routed to the exhaust fan.

The roof rack on that car is dragging on the ground!

I saw that last year up in Solvang. One of the toy shops had it and another one with a 911 !! I almost bought the 911 diarama, but didn't. We (GF) and I were coming back from a vacation at San Semian (SP) bay. Hearst Castle stuff. I think I spent too much money so I didn't buy it. But the store had tons of German toys. They got cool stuff.

what is the "A" frame for?
the acetylene bottles are not secured (osha no no)
not enough "crack" showing on either technicians.

on a side note: i drove through davis yesterday. what a nice place! lots of cute girls, friendly people, cool neighborhoods......

I see a few problems:

1) Clock has too many hands
2) Air hose too short
3) Car not on jack; jack is raised in front of car
4) Tire taken off what side? Also, still has hub cap attached
5) Computer has no power cord or data cables
6) Vice does not appear to be attached to anything, ready to fall off shelf
7) Door knob too large
8) Wrench and hammer on wall and on floor (must have two?)
9) Tire block not properly secured against tire
10) Car should be silver…would look better in silver (my opinion)

I don't see any Pabst. I don't see any Pelican Parts items or shipping labels. I don't see lots of oil stains on the floor, no duct tape, no cinder blocks, no wood blocks, no bbq grill, no porn. What the hell kind of shop is this anyway? How could they get any work done there? They would never make it in NoVA.

Is the hot wheels CStrait's car?

Hmm, yep, who takes a tire off and then puts the hub cap back on.

I'm not sure on this one, but shouldn't the wipers park on the passenger's side?

I found that same hotwheels at the local target the other day. I took it out of the package. I just can't stand not being able to touch it. I also got the Lamborghini Miura that they had. It was one of their detailed special edition cars. Apparently Hotwheels release a GT3 in 2003. I'd love to get that one.

That Hot Wheels Porsche is sweet! Your best bet, if you have to absolutely play with it, is buy another and stash the one pictured.

Buying two of anything is the first lesson of Animation and Toy Collecting 101. :)

Is that an engine hoist poised above the rear??? If so, they must be getting ready to drop in a V8 :)

Quote: "Is the hot wheels CStrait's car?"

No. Chris's car is the turbo made by Johnny Lightning.

Ha! The supply of unopened 911 hotwheels is now smaller by ONE! Mine is that much more valuable now.

Seriously, though, I broke the package open right after this post. It rolls FAST! :D

The (silver) ventilation fan has a solid brick wall behind it.
The license plate is German yet the writing in the garage is in English

Needs to be lowered, plus all the other stuff and mods we talk about on this BBS.

That's one big whoppin' vise.
No walls on two sides.
No roof on the building.

I want one. Have some more wine and turkey.

The fire extinguisher needs to be recharged.
One guy's shoelace is untied.

Oh whoa! There is just SO much more wrong with that second diorama.

Yea, the tires on the 993 look like 75 series.

The 3rd hand could be a second hand

There are two crescent wrenches and a hacksaw very prominent in their toolset. Scary.

Where is this place? I don't want to take my car there. :D

Second diarama: is that a reflection in the hood, or it hiding a 454 rat underneath?

Hey and anyway, where's the giant key to wind these cars up? :confused:

The mechanics are wearing matching Powder Blue uniforms....must be a California garage.......

Problem with the second diarama:

Car should be silver...would look better in silver ;)

1st one -

Wheel chock in wrong position if your changing front...
Jack not under car - out could creat trip and fall
What's the line going to exhaust for?
Outside door does not have enough clearance
No Exit Sign
Air hose to short on electric drill
Computer hooked up to ??
Fan not properly exhausted

If that was a gay repair shop, they would be in the back seat of the car. Not working on it.
