MrRegieRitmo Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I feel quite confident in saying that the BX will be SS90's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
155V6 Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 That's probably the Solido model which is the same casting as the Detail Cars one. Is it metallic green with a brown or black coloured vinyl roof? Solido & Corgi supplied the models for that series. I subscribed to it at the time it was out but.......GRRRRR!!! - Hachette, bloody Hachette the publishers cocked everything up When I subscribed the form said I could pay with switch so I filled it all in, sent it off then waited. When the first one or two finally arrived (they always sent them two at a time) the next form I had to fill in said Switch wasn't available & since I don't own a credit card I had to pay with a cheque. So again I filled it all in & sent it off, waited for something like a month at a time for the next batch to arrive. One time I was a little late sending the cheque off to them, so I received a reminder (basically it worked in arrears I think.....you received the models then you had to send payment after, or you wouldn't receive the next two....something like that), so I sent them off the cheque for the outstanding ones, then bizarrely as if they were punishing me for late payment, that was it I never received anymore models despite being subscribed. Never had anything more from them, I did try ringing them, can't remember what they said, something like that I still owed them the money or something & I said I'd paid for the last batch I'd received but had had nothing since. Anyway that was the end of that after I'd only received a handful of models. Wasn't too upset as they were basically cheap, not particularly well made, undetailed versions of the models in their normal ranges. So no, I wouldn't bother dealing with Hachette again, as they themselves clearly can't be bothered.A collection of partworks that I did successfully complete & I was much more interested in was one that was around at the same time as the Century of Cars & I subscribed with WH Smith to receive every fortnight & that was the 'Porsche Model Collection' £4.99 every fortnight & there was 50 odd model Porsches in the collection & I completed it which I was quite happy about I go to a lot of Toyfairs & other events,& there are a lot of cars left over from these collections.There's one set that's various Citroen DS's,one which seems to be old French cars,the Porsche Collection already mentioned,the Rally Car Collection,& the Century of Cars.There only ever seems to be 5 or 6 different cars from each set though,& they don't normally have the magazines with them,so it's not easy to find out about the other cars in the sets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 If you happen to be excessively bored and watching endless repeats on cable telly, you might just catch an episode of 'Life of Grime New York' in which a derilect 780 is home to a colony of rats - yuk!Wish they had sold this model in the UK-does anyone think the c70 wil be shite one day????

Barry Cade Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 263 Looks like a giant fiat 128 3p to me! 780's were built by Bertone,alongside the X1/9. Even shared the same paint colours-mica red and mica blue.I got touch up paint once for my old x1/9 from our local Volvo dealer.he thought I was mad!

fordpoplier Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'm guessing the yanks got more than a few of the 780s, one up the street from me only last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
