Partridge Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Alan P that model is stunning, genuinely looks like the real thing!Thanks There was a lot of "old new" stock from Germany go on the market this year, meaning they're pretty cheap so snap one up while you can.

Split_Pin Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 The Glasgow Fort Branch had an SCX Slot car collection. There was a Renault 8 there, but the best was a Seat Fura!! £12.99 each. I literally exploded and was killed instantly when I saw this. Partridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volksy Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I've just picked up one of those Fura's at my local TK's. Really nice model. A mate has an extensive track so looking forward to testing it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicksilver Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Latest releases from Oxford Diecast in 1/76 include a pair of Mk1 Festers. This one has had a change of numberplates to represent my grandparents' car And this one is my actual first car, same reg and everything! I assume they used my photos for reference. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayne Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 According to Autoweek, Bonhams are having a sale of rare model cars and aeroplanes. http://www.autoweek.com/article/20131225/CARNEWS01/131229946 However I can find no trace of it on the Bonhams website...

Lord Sterling Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I bought one of those Civics recently from a visit to Morrisons. I usually sift through the 1/64 car section as I know whilst Matchbox/HotWheels are chucking out some rubbish, they sometimes come up with some great little cars you'd never think would have been produced.

It started with a detour whilst Mrs Rocker QA'd the veg aisle and has ended up with four drawers full of l'l shiters in bubble packs, everything from a rodded Anglia to Datsun 510.

laser wheels Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I've seen Hot Wheels are doing an EF Civic this year if that floats anyone's boat. Got that one, I do like some 1/64 action, and the JDM stuff seems to be popular right now; picked up some interesting Datsun, Toyotas etc. But seriously these are now 1 POUND SODDING 50 in Sainsburys!!!! On other hand Poundshop is great for picking up some of the American releases we don't see over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Yeah, there's a point. I've noticed an abundance of Matchbox cars in Poundland lately, whilst looking for certain other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lobster Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I'm bored. Its been raining all day and I've nothing productive to do. Kids are being a PITA so I avoided anything like family responsibility by doing the following - Firstly, a little background. About twenty years ago I owned this - and loved it very much. After about seven years of daily drivering it, life got in the way, bought a house and all that and got married and subsequently divorced. R5 sat there neglected and ended its days like this - Sold to an enthusiast as a parts car Anyway, last year I ordered a couple of boxes of these - 1/18 R5 Alpine Coupe by Solido. Low and behold, one of them was damaged in transit and arrived broken. Which presented an opportunity and now I have this - Still need to do the wheels and a few detail bits - badges etc and the bonnet could do with repainting as theres too much paint on it at present but overall I'm pretty pleased with the result. Further updates in a year or so once I get around to finishing it... Lord Sterling, Pillock, Jim Bergerac and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Brilliant, I actually like the wheels as they are. I have the Corgi 5 in 1/36. Not the Turbo one but the standard model with coffin type seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felly Magic Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Cor some nice tackle in here, I've not been buying lately, and parted with a few, Partridge has bought a fair few off me, especially French chod. I did pick up just before Chrimbo the Corgi Vanguards Haynes edition Scoobydoo Pretzel for just a fiver from a toyshop in Norwich. I've just done a deal with yon Partridge though, which will see the Ford Grandad become mine. Prior to that, the last diecast I got was my Daewoo Nexia, which is epic in that shite kind of way Said Pretzel with a few 'friends', an Ixo Ford Escort RS1600, and a Trofeu Celica GT4, plus lurking in the background a DelPrado Saab 900, and a Bburago Fezza Cauliflower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
