Do not visit this website!

 

You have been warned!

 

I'm not responsible.

I did.

 

I was.

 

You very much are.  I couldn't make enough sense of it to dig out those large-scale Dodge copcars.  To be fair, the problem could easily be fatigue, because I have a shitload of DIY going on at the moment, both at work and at home.  Anyway I won't hold it against you.  Just send me over one of those LAPD Monacos...

That LAPD Monaco looks TJ Hooker-tastic

Flippin' Vanguard Pickup AND a Gaylord!

They need to be released first.

The Edocar 309 is a bit crude! But hey ho, neat all the same.

Ive been wanting to weigh in on this thread for ages coz its OMG MAH FAVE ON AUTOSHITE,

I had loads of diecasts as a kid (didnt most shiters) But my enduring memories are bin liners full of matchbox superfasts from car boots and those shell maistos in the yellow and red boxes was stuff like a 911 speedster or a lotus esprit.. Or getting cars from little chef! i miss you the 90's

Even had some vintage hotwheels and stuff too.

Sadly it all just vanished ''its in your nans loft'' mam used to say.. Think nan was living under the bermuda triangle for a bit then! Grr but regardless i do have a few bits left, and this thread being the bad influence that it is has got me buying again!

 

This is all that remains.. Bunch of playworn johhny lightnings got them from some mall in orlando spent all my holiday money on these..

I was gutted when my parents donated loads of my toy cars to the school jumble, including my many Siku, plus my 1:36 Corgis and Mbx Superkings, bastards

[RayMK]

 

Yes, bloody parents!  I had two huge Chad Valley clockwork buses when we were in Malta in 1952-4.  They had disappeared without trace when we unpacked the crates at RAF Little Rissington, our home for the next 2 years.  Mum blamed the RAF but I think she may have donated them to a kid back in Malta.  When I eventually saw examples of the buses in a museum many years later, I was surprised how small they were compared to my memories when 4 years old. A clockwork train set also vanished on our next move.  I think there's a photo of me playing with the trainset in Malta - it's loaded with a few Dinky toys which must also have been lost by the RAF* when we moved to the UK.  If I can find the photo, I'll add it later.

 

Edit: I'm sure there's another one somewhere which shows more Dinky toys than just the 1.5 decker. It says 'December 1952, Malta' on the back. Further edit: Actually there's a lorry on there as well. Can't remember that one at all.

[Laseraligningfoofooflanges]

I share your pain felly and ray 

 

Thing is with mine they likely didnt do it out of spite just we had a lot of toys and shit (bless em) i just think they got well and truly misplaced

[Felly Magic]

The thing is I was still at bloody primary school when they did it, and being car mad, I was livid. They used the excuse 'getting too old', pah!

[Laseraligningfoofooflanges]

And the rest the moggy the bosch vw the landy  are survivors from my youth they just floated around for years!

 

 

 

 

the mooneyes dragster was from disneyland in about 96 ffs ,The shelby gt 350 is a johhny lightning as id the ''jukebox''

[Laseraligningfoofooflanges]

Its gash really! I can remember certain teachers moaning back when 94-95 (im not 30 yet) about no cars in the playground ffs!! And these were superfasts too trying to confiscate shit!

 

Your never too old for diecast shite! I wouldnt forgive them either .. Ive got an ammo case full of micromachines though as they are easy to secrete!
