Vauxhall carlton ?

F863PLD Seat ibiza crono 1.2 in metallic blue was my late father's car, at first I was pissed as he'd sold his 1981 registered Audi coupe XKX117X my less educated scholl mates thought was a quattro. He had it for a year, but had continual issues with the gearbox making strange noises, was offered an older 1.5 GLX by the supplying dealer but cut his losses and this really hurts purchased a Volvo 360 GLT...

Good choice.

Micro machines, I used to have a great collection of over 200, I've thinned the collection down now due to exorbitant prices I now collect hot wheels only. Give me a till later today and will get a few pictures of my current collection..

I went and viewed a Scorpio that was for sale locally today, I did a silly and bought it! ?

Basically the elderly owner bought it in 1990 and parked it in the garage back in 2009, died and they haven't touched it since, it was covered in dust and leaves and it looks like mice may have took up residence but they were keen for it not to be scrapped or raced which in fairness would be criminal so we agreed on a price and now it's mine!

I think it has the potential to be a really nice car once I've worked my magic.

Wow

Does anyone remember a Matchbox series of cars that had weird 'hologramatic' wheels, that where reflective and shiny?

I'm 99% sure they were Matchbox, and they came out late 80's. The car I had may have been a Renault concept (spider?), but I can't find any information anywhere or anything related to any Matchbox cars in the 80's having these wheels.

I remember it as my bullshitting friend claimed to have a millionaire uncle who owned one of these cars in real life, and it even had the zany mirror wheels.

 

 

And while we're at it - does anyone remember the emergency vehicles you could get (Matchbox again I'm sure of it), where you pushed it down against the wheels and a siren noise and lights came on?

Laser wheels

Fantastic to have you back, don't be a stranger..
