Some time ago I started looking at the boxes of kits that I accumulated over time and that I never thought about make because they were surpassed by new kits with more details and quality.
As I did not intend to use them for anything serious, I started playing with them, cutting here, pasting, adding and removing pieces and modifying them into a mixture of Camel Trophy, Rallie cars, Paris-Dakar and LRDG.
I found it very funny, almost addictive.
When I commented to a friend he told me-
"Well, tell me the universe and I'll tell you if they're okay"
So, I just wanted to modifie my softskins but if you want to know abouth the "universe", like a friend that I have, go here.

June 1946, Inverness-Palermo, first international race through the abandoned territories.
A hard test to cover cities and roads destroyed by war, territories filled with wild mutants . The team number 15, category vehicles of more than 2 tons, manned by two exveteranos of the SAS in Africa (in fact, one of them was in the matchbox team) an Australian, Michael Dundee (niknamed Crocodile) and a Frenchman, Jencló Lintrepid , in their modified Morris c8 they did the trip in 20 days, 4 hours, 12 minutes and 34 seconds. Confirming the death of 96 mutants, (almost all killed by Jencló and his MAS 36 rifle) obtaining a record of deaths of mutants that would not be surpassed by almost three months. The team won the second place in its category.
The team continued participating in the races and won a first prize in New Caracas-Malos Aires from 51. Both racers retired in 1974. Jencló Lintrepid set up a bakery on the outskirts of Paris. Michael got married and then died of cirrhosis.
