Waifs, strays and no-name stuff

 

Just found out these are made by High Speed, I had a MK1 Golf but there were loads in the box today. All seem to be characterised by no rear window and a yellow interior that holds the axles in place

Stock-piling extends to charity shop stock, shocker!

I've been wanting to slim down the 1:64ish collection, but can't seem to quite get there...    I could be persuaded on the:

Summer Benz

MB Porsche 914

Fisker

HW Skyline Ken Mari

HW CELICA IN BLUE !!!

WEDNESDAY EVENING HOT ROD MEET WITH KEN AND DOLLY WENT WELL

Two 'Funny Car' Dragsters also showed up to too: Gus's Gulper and Milligan's Mill. 

All the owners dropped them off and then scarpered into self-isolation.  Well ok, apart from the Fireman, who was comatose thoughout.

Still, that meant Dolly & Ken could paw over the lot in peace.  And so they did.

The next meet is set for April 15.

Post Lady as been!

Some of the new-in stock :

IMG_2261.jpg

All the slot car motors and gearing have been coaxed into life ? Two of the cars are even driving about too, after a fashion ?

The spare slot bodies (not from AS-sources) are a NSU TT (blue/silver stripe) and a chopped-about Airfix Rapier (red/black)

Pleased to see the Scouse Hillman still has its tool box tools!   Minor Traveller will soon be meeting its van and saloon sisters for a parts-swapping event

Gremlin in the photo for comedy value.

Under fluorescent light it's green!

Brian is standing beside me on my bookshelf (one of...) waiting for me to test out his agility level, but it won't be tonight.  He has plenty of time to psyche himself up.

Moar enter the 'I don't collect matchbox anymore' collection.

IMG_20200319_204147276.thumb.jpg.f7147d918fe2060f30143dea45b7c3aa.jpg

Don't know how many of these I have now. I was always like that whilst collecting, I'd get my sights set on one particular model and proceed to get as many as I could. You lot understand right?

I’ve got a couple of them in my box in the loft. Battered from heavy play use in the 90s. 
 

still not found a Volvo 850, beginning to think they’ve been panic bought ?

I've got a much earlier and smaller Husky.  I didn't know there were two sizes.

You clearly have too many and I can happily provide a Hot Wheels Volvo 850 in swap for one of those *with* the added bonus contraband of one 3-ply Andrex roll.

One of Majorette's 1/32 Hot Rods range

It doesn't say so, but grille to me is '37 Chevrolet

IMG_2273.JPG

IMG_2274.JPG

IMG_2275.JPG

IMG_2276.JPG

Bought it from ebay.fr seller who had a few of the range.  Idea was to convert to slot, but the die cast bodies on these are too heavy, to be fair

 

There is another version with a wilder engine

Swifty's Garage site covers that:

Found a few new HW today and had a few arrivals - too tired to post them all after my Essex-Lincoln-Eastboune-Essex mission today, but I'll leave you with this spot-the-difference:

I was going to move on the Majorette model, but now I'll think I'll keep it back and touch-in the paint cips

Yeah I really like all of it. It's a generic but very late 60's/early 70's muscle car looking
