Presumably that bundle purchase required "just one more thing"?

Something like that.

Round or square headlights?

Is that a majorette Chrysler 180 next to the SM? Tell your dad he scored well there too!

Yep, thanks, he's found some cracking toys over the years, buys on instinct, as long as they are cheap!

How much did he bag them all for?

Fella wanted £10 so my Dad offered him a fiver as he was packing up, so he took it.

Probably don’t need to remind you that’s a bargain!

What scale are those Snorkel’s?

Looking at my spreadsheet "Corgi Scale According to Marcel"

1126	1977	Simon Snorkel Fire Engine new casting		1/48

Anyone familiar with this Sierra?

My Dad who is nearly 90 and still cycles to the local mid-week car boot loves a cheap find, here's his latest which he gave to me in exchange for a couple of radios i'd found for him (he collects radios!!)

 

 

 

 

The ones with yellow circles lived in my collectors case at one time or another between 1968 and 1976.

1:48 probably means you could get away with wheels from a 1:50 truck if they’re on the larger size or maybe smaller commercial wheels from a 1:43. 
Or of course just find another Corgi/Dinky that’s been trashed and rob the wheels and chassis.

Roll on the Days Gone @bunglebus  🤣

Honestly, the very existence of shit like those nominally 'diecast' cars upsets me. Churned out of a machine in China, carried halfway across the world on a big, fume-belching container ship, to ultimately fulfil only a brief and passing purpose before going into landfill in the UK. Also see 90% of what's in Poundland or available on Temu.

[Datsuncog]

But... but... them's rare, them's Dinkys..

You've just done yourself out of £25 at St Georges' 2024 prices!

That was satisfying! 

[sierraman]

As @Split_Pin said sometime ago it’s funny how such a big fucking deal was made at the time as to how Days Gone were collectors items and it was Matchbox etc that was ‘mass produced shit’ 🤣

[danthecapriman]

That was brilliant @bunglebus 😂 👍

Those cheap shitty Chinese things that barely even resemble a vehicle, let alone an actual type of vehicle really are the very worst. I don’t like DG stuff but they are far far worse. Absolutely shit!

They didn’t even put up any resistance to that mallet either, one stroke and pancake flat!

Please do this with some Days Gone!!

That little blue pickup almost completely disappears!😆

The orange ones funny too, watching it go flying past in the background!

I didn't realise the pickup was actually plastic, it exploded and prompted questions from the Mrs (who was talking to the neighbours over the fence) as to what exactly I was up to. Not the easiest explanation!

I don't think I can actually squish a Daze Gone, much as they're hateful things they do at least represent actual cars, and I'm sure they have a few fans. Those shitty Chinese things deserve death though

[bunglebus]

You know, they're a bit flat - but two look like they could be saved if you really put your mind to it

I'm not having that

Good job the wall and patio are getting demolished tomorrow 

[RoadworkUK]

Most satisfying. 

Any clue what on earth that orange one was actually supposed to represent?

[Split_Pin]

Did anyone see the Hydraulic Press channel episode where he fired Hot Wheels cars from a cannon into a concrete block? Obviously I am not advocating the use of Hot Wheels but it was a cool stunt!

Astonishingly, I think its meant to be a Merc 300SL gullwing!

Is the white one behind a Fox body Mustang?

Literally. Get something heavy like a garden roller and actually roll over them.

I’ve got a garden roller. And some Days Gone…
