I'm quite busy at the mo so it'll probably just go in the collection, I've got the huff with painting die casts as I bought some Rover Amethyst paint that looks crap, when it should look amazing. Maybe tomorrow or Thursday I'll have another go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Back from asda ! £7.99. Its about 5 1/2" long and pretty good ..Only one left or rather i think the box had a set of F&F cars and there was one of each . The others didn't interest me , though thinkng about it there may have been the F&F Camaro ...i shoulda looked closer !! They're fetching over the odds on ebay !

barrett Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I've never seen any Fast & Furious film, but I can't imagine a less Hollywood phrase than "Brian's Ford Escort".

paulplom Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Could anyone give an idea what this is worth? I bought it from a tat shop a few years ago for £20. The level of detail is amazing.

Some of the other cars look quite good but I try not to buy large scale cars.

I've been chasing it for years on the bay and it's never as low as you bought it! (Which might explain why I still don't own one myself!)

Amishtat Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Nearly didn't bother with the boot sale this morning, time and arsed were both in short supply but the sun was out so I decided to give it a look before work. Initially I was disappointed, having got easily halfway through and only finding a Corgi Renault Floride a little too rich for me at fifteen quid. I did pick up a few odds and sods including to my great pleasure a Matchbox Dodge Charger. Pictures later when I'm not pretending to be working..
