This shows just how flexible the derby stones are. I have a customer who has been using this very mould for over 13 years on a constant basis.
They put the mould in the frame and make sure that they use a non solvent release agent.
This ensures that the mould that is undercut! can get out every time!
Newly released at the 2012 LA Motorshow in November is the new 2013 Flex. Newly funked up styling and colours meets the boxy oddball wagoneer body.
Strange on the outside, awesome on the inside.
Meet Sharon, also awesome on the inside, and doing the mom's taxi thing and taking the kids trick or treating.
Here are Darren, Mclaren, Karen, Eric, Lizzie, and Robert, all in their halloween costumes. What fun it must be to drive small children around all day.
Built for flickr LUGNuts 49th build challenge - 'On the Job' - and I dare anyone to tell a soccor mom that what she does is not hard work.
A Flex is a pretty sweet multi-seat ride though.

The guys on the bench, Harold and Bear, shared a slice with me. Pie on the Mountain makes a pretty good pizza.
Flex really showed me a different side of Hip-Hop through the discussions we were having because I am frustrated about bubble gum music and he told why it is as popular it is.

DJ CHEDO- THE COME UP SHOW (FLEX EDITION) HOUR 2
This is part of a fireplace in Huntly Castle. Since there wasn't a roof over it, there was Plexiglas protection over it and on the sides. Our "Historic Scotland" passes we'd bought in Edinburgh let us into Huntly Castle as well as other places.
Huntly Castle: Over a period of 600 years this site saw four different castles in three slightly different locations under two different names. And between them these castles were attacked or besieged at least eight times.
In about 1180, Duncan, Earl of Fife, built the first castle here. By early 1306, John of Strathbogie, by now both Earl of Fife and Earl of Atholl, was executed by Edward I for supporting Robert the Bruce (see our Historical Timeline). The castle passed to his son, David of Strathbogie. After years of family support for Robert the Bruce, which included his using the castle as a base in 1307, David of Strathbogie chose to shift his support to the English early in 1314. This was a bad move, coming just before Robert the Bruce's final victory at Bannockburn.
In response to this Robert the Bruce, granted the castle and the lands of Strathbogie to Sir Adam Gordon of Huntly, in Berwickshire, who had shown him more consistent loyalty. This brought the Gordons to Moray, and with them the name of Huntly that was later to replace Strathbogie.
In about 1410, Sir Alexander Seton, later Lord Gordon, cleared away the 230 year old wooden castle and replaced it with a stone tower house built at the north end of the bailey. Only the thick-walled foundations of the tower house now remain, visible on the north side of the castle courtyard. The tower house would have been accompanied by a defensive wall around the bailey area, and ranges of other supporting buildings.
This castle was burned by the Earl of Moray in 1452, a member of the Black Douglas family and an opponent of King James II. In retaliation the Earl of Huntly (as the head of the Gordon family had become) destroyed the Black Douglas family in Moray. The damaged tower house at Strathbogie was replaced in 1460 by a much grander building on the south side of the site, where all later development was to take place. Today only the cellars under the later palace remain of the 1460 building.
In 1506, Alexander, the third Earl of Huntly, was granted a charter changing the name of the castle and surrounding area from Strathbogie to Huntly, in effect fitting the geography to his title. The castle has since been known as Huntly Castle, and the town to its south also later became known as Huntly.
By 1550 George, the 4th Earl of Huntly, was also Lord Chancellor of Scotland and one of the wealthiest men in the kingdom. He rebuilt the castle above the basement level into a grand palace, finishing the work just in time for a visit by Mary de Guise, widow of James V and mother of Mary Queen of Scots. George's strong Catholicism and political independence were later to lead to his falling out with Mary Queen of Scots. On 28 October 1562 she defeated him at the Battle of Corrichie, near Aberdeen. George was killed in the battle, Huntly Castle was looted and George's younger son was executed.
Repairs were still underway when George, the 6th Earl of Huntly, joined a plot against James VI (son of Mary Queen of Scots) in 1594. The King's response was to attack the castle, damaging it again and blowing up the remains of the old tower house on the north side of the enclosure. By 1599 George had made his peace with James VI and been promoted to Marquis of Huntly. His response was a further round of building work at Huntly, designed to make the 1550 palace even grander and more decorative.
The remodelling around 1600 included the remarkable fireplaces on view in the palace, one of which is dated 1606, and the decorative oriel windows and inscription on the exterior of the upper floor of the palace. The inscription reads: George Gordon First Marquis of Huntlie 16 above Henriette Stewart Marquesse of Huntlie 02.
The architectural triumph of the palace that resulted was not to be enjoyed for long. The 2nd Marquis of Huntly backed the King in the Civil War and paid for it with his life. In 1640 Huntly Castle was occupied by the Covenanting Army. In 1644 it was held for the King by the Duke of Montrose. And in 1647 it was defended by Lord Charles Gordon against General Leslie's Covenanters, but starved into submission. The defenders were all executed. In 1650, King Charles II stayed en route to his coronation as King of Scotland.
Huntly Castle last played an active role in Scottish History in 1746, when it was held by Government Troops against the Jacobites. It later became a handy quarry for those building the town of Huntly before its value as an attractive ruin was appreciated in the late 1800s. It was passed into State care in 1923, and is now looked after by Historic Scotland.
