The spare wheel and carrier fell off shortly after the photo session

Don’t know much about GAMA, apart from they appear to have expected owners to bring their own glue to the party

Was sorry to have missed the Mk1 Fiesta FIESTA, but did successfully make it to the Mk1 Golf GALA NIGHT!

I had a Guiloy Fiesta in blue with stickers on it. I was given it by a Swapmeet stallholder that I always used to buy from as a kid. My dad and I always used to chat to him every month, he was a lovely older gent with his spectacles on a chain and his wife for company. I let it go in the big purge of 2013-15.

I also had a Goal one that I swapped with a friend, I forget what happened to that.

I did try and sell my 1/24 Polistil Fiesta in the Purge (R) and almost succeeded, but I'm glad I still have it now!

Like @Lord Sterling I have a Norev 1:24 Fiat Doblo which my Brother kindly brought me a few years ago for Xmas. So when I saw a Norev Fiat Ducato Van for £20 at a car show last year, I had to have it. 

[ Sorry btw for the pic quality! ]

Opening door's on both aren't the best fit, but never the less I'm pleased with them. 

An to keep them company, my Brother also got me a Bburago Kit 1:24 Fiat 500 Abarth. Admittedly I haven't applied all the decals yet, but there alot easier to apply than the pair of 80's Bburago Kits I had as a kid.

Still no MB as yet in Tesco. Went to the B&M next door for a couple of bits, looks like they've recently re stocked on Hot Wheels, albeit older stock. Still, I found a few of the ones I missed out on when they were released, so not a dead loss! Was especially happy to get the Silvia, don't think I've had any of that casting before.

Home Bargains were selling those 1/24 Doblos for about £3.99 a year or two ago.

There weren't any in my local branch however I did get a 1/43 Lancia Lybra, whatever that is.

I guess so. The windows tailgate and base all seem to be unique

Is that some sort of prototype?

Looks far more like a home-made effort to me.  Look closer and you can see the initial drill hole areas

Nice to see though, but the unbuilt model kits aren’t scarce

Had to retreat to the car with a coffee, the wind is bitter despite the sunshine. I'm here for another ten minutes and there's fifteen quid left if anybody sees something they like speak up. Secured these though

Right then, not exactly a vintage Tat Wednesday but in my defence I didn’t know the boot sale was on until eight this morning, I rather expected it to be over for the year. First up, and already dibsed, the Speed Kings Cambuster and Bazooka. Some damage to the scoop on Cambuster but complete otherwise and with decent glazing.

I openly admit to having very little interest in these but for a quid each it seemed worth grabbing them in case one of you fancied them.
