Oh lord, won’t you buy me a mercedes benz ?
My friends all drive porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So lord, won’t you buy me a mercedes benz ?

Oh lord, won’t you buy me a color tv ?
Dialing for dollars is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until three,
So oh lord, won’t you buy me a color tv ?

Oh lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town ?
I’m counting on you, lord, please don’t let me down.
Prove that you love me and buy the next round,
Oh lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town ?

Everybody!
Oh lord, won’t you buy me a mercedes benz ?
My friends all drive porsches, I must make amends,
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So oh lord, won’t you buy me a mercedes benz ?

Just one will do please Norman

Great drawing Norman.

Shweeeeeet Norman. Those were beautiful automobiles!
I'm wondering, if you could do the "Leslie Special"?? (from the Great Race)?? and please don't tell me you've never seen it

Yes like Soquili Bill, Thank you for the words of the song Egg.
and thank you Bill.
Geminguy tell me where I can get a decent picture of the great leslie and I will attempt to draw it. I searched the net for one but could not find anything to go by.

She's a beauty Norman, classic lines perfectly captured, good job.

Norman,
Very well done. Your increased use of detail has really improved the overall appearance of your cars. You just keep getting better and better.

(Possible suggestion: Highlights quite frequently will fade in some direction, usually away from the light source. Using a linear transparency on the highlight can give this effect.)

Well Norm, I did find a couple items.. Not the Leslie Special yet but, it's nemesis, the " Hannibal 8 " (JackLemmon's car from the movie) and here's the link for that There are a lot of good stuff here (all models but really fun, some you may remember?? And a link to the Great Race movie info (the white car on the movie case cover, is the "Leslie Special")

Great as always Norman, now for a challenge......The only hero I ever had was Jim Clark, a geat racing driver from the 60's. He was a Scottsman and drove Lotus cars. how about drawing a Lotus racing car from the 60s.
