What are the two rally logos on the roof of the Mini and hood of the Lancia?

 

[Nessy]

Rallye Monte Carlo, i think.

 

[photonrider]

You just made everything worse Jarrod. You don't even know.

 

[Spacegoat]

Yep, Mote Carlo rally logo's on the Mini's roof. The Lancia I assume is the same, I honestly didn't look. Maybe someone that played GT2 will know.

@ Harry. 👍

Edit: It's the same. 👍

 

[a6m5]

Harry's not bitter, he's happy for you. He really is.

P.S. I've been running into these Toyota 2000GTs on eBay. They go for roughly $13~$14. Not. Bad.

Edit: I just caught the second baby. 👍

 

[Nessy]

^That seems cheap considering the detail. 👍

Yeah, I kind of have gotten accustomed to the $20 price point of the Hot Wheels Super THs, so some of these high-detailed cars for $20 & lower seems like very attractive investments!

P.S. Here's one for AOS.

I don't know which brand that is, but I love it. God, I can't get enough of Countaches!

They're made by Kyosho.


Here's my share for today:

 

[photonrider]

Really. I'm so mad at Goat. Actually I'm happy for him, but also mad. That Stratos is mine, mine!

Seriously, though - is that actually available in any kind of quantity? And where?

 

[McZachenF1138]

Oh man, that F40 LM is wonderful!

P.S. I was just thinking about how cool it might actually be if Hot Wheels made a Rolls Royce Phantom this year. I can picture it perfectly, and it looks awesome.
I also did a search to see what Rolls Hot Wheels has done in the past at this was in the results.
I like it!

 

[Nessy]

HW RR Phantom would be truly Awesome! Good call Zach. 👍

 

[a6m5]

I hate myself for liking that car.

You do not want a answer to that question. Trust me my friend. There is a reason goat's gonna pack that thing back into the box for good.

P.S. I found out how much Tomica Limited went for new. Roughly tad over $7. It is criminal they are not sold in the U.S.!

Now I'm mad too, Harry. Let's go break stuff. Cano can come to, he's always pissed.

 

[McZachenF1138]

I'll bring the themed cars!

Which car are you mad for liking? The Phantom I suggested or the link I gave?

 

[a6m5]

That's too good.

For those of you who don't get the joke, visit the Hot Wheels customizing thread.

Edit: That hot rod Rolls!

Picked up the red R34, blue 2002, and the MB purple 996 911 at Target. Too bad I didn't notice until unboxing the R34 that it has factory masking tape stuck to the side of the car that was covered by the card. Someday I'm gonna open something valuable without looking, lol.

 

[McZachenF1138]

True dat. 'Thing's dope!

 

[Nessy]

Guys calm down.. Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one that gets burned.

 

[a6m5]

Well guys, I found that Toyota 2000GT on eBay for $11.99, so I just said 🤬 it and got it.

I don't know how valuable that would've been. I just mailed out the double error Mazda Furai I sold on eBay? I packaged it together with the stock Furai, the error one was stuck in the package backwards, while missing the rear spoiler. I got whopping $2 out of it. I should have just kept it, or better yet, just left it on the peg.

We are going to throw it really fast.

More of the Kyosho 1:64 Ferrari 288 GTO. I bought this from the store where I get most of my 1:64 Kyoshos (the other being in HK).

This is one of my favorite Ferraris along with the 512 BB, F40 GTE, 430 Scuderia Spider 16M, and the 250 GT California.

It's just.... porn on wheels.

 

[Nessy]

@ RCKakashi.

I like the 288, but i'm not too keen on the colour.

 

[photonrider]

Zach - read through a bit - of what I missed - since I like to keep up with the thread, and yes - 1.00 AM to 4.00 AM is around my favourite posting time. All duties done and my time is my own, so I can hang out here undisturbed. I do drop in on and off on my phone during the day, when possible, but only to check if anything unusual or to post something urgent. I run on around 4 hours of sleep a day - though I might catch up on my snoozing during the weekends. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Slow down a bit here guys, damn. 3 pages since I've been gone, like 3 hours.

And what's with the crying babies?

Epic Mazda display finished. By the way, anyone know where I can find a complete list of the Matchbox RX-7 (FC) releases?

Yeah, I didn't think it was worth much, just that it shows how little attention I pay before ripping the blisters open.

 

[Nessy]

R1600, that looks badass with the Mazda Pics behind it.

Man, that thing's nice. There was a real one in the parking lot at Monterey this year, none of us could believe it was just parked in a normal space where somebody could bump it with their doors - of course, anybody there would know better!

What camera/lens are you using btw?

I'm using a Canon EOS Digital 450D with 200mm lens w/ Image stabilizer...

 

[a6m5]

That angle, I hadn't thought of. Nice looking display man! 👍

Ah, OK. 👍

P.S. I want this. Soooo bad.
