I'll take it. This will be my first Speed Machines though.

I may transfer your cars to another box, add the '12 Beetle and the NSX and then send it out on Friday.

Are you planning on doing a custom of that Porsche?

Hell yeah. It'll go in my White Series, in the Classic Racer category.

I remember seeing in one of Lamley's weekly blog on customs a photo of a 935/78 painted black. There was no other longtail casting other than the Road Racers which are still highly sought after, so customizing one of those was and still is a huge waste of a great casting. And it's not like it was that great of a paintjob either.





edit: To make up for the crummy photo of the 962C I have in my library, I'll give you this:

There's more in the Diorama thread.

@Fire Emblem, you've been properly attended by Wyvern. Everything he sez is true.

Also, The new repaint of the 70 Trans Am SCREAMS for side flame deletion, keeping the wild fire chicken in the hood, and adding some bad ass gold BBSs. Yup.

Nice cars fellas. 👍 Here's the big shipment I received from that toy peddler seller + two Hare Splitters from eBay:

God, that was a lot of work.

This place is dead-dead, so I'll just post old images:

$uper and regular 57 Plymouth Fury TH.

Found them both hangin' in the pegs, the $uper in front of the regular.

Awesome cars. Story makes me even more jealous.

Took this picture outside a BP station on the way home from work yesterday.

That is amazing. 👍 So is the guy a fan of the Hot Wheels then? Or is this the case of Hot Wheels imitating this very truck, or was it some special edition truck they sold limited number of?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Swung by Walmart on the way home: they put the dump bin cars on the pegs and took down the dump bin. Will stay away from there for a while.

Target: Nothing, again. No cars in back room either.

Dollar Tree: Usual waste of time.

This is getting frustrating. 2013 K-Days #1 can't come soon enough.

I missed his response, but that's awesome.

 

[a6m5]

Dude I have no idea. And what is this:

In 1978 The Dodge Lil' Red Express was the fastest American made vehicle from 0 to 100 MPH as tested by Car and Driver magazine.

225 net horsepower

 

[CodeRedR51]

Because 1978.

 

[Cano]

Precisely. To think that everywhere else everything was worse.

Nice grabs, Shinji. Are there any you don't want perhaps?

Also, Canoe, I have an extra Gallardo SL. I know you've been looking for one. Still want one?

 

[a6m5]

Nice grabs, Shinji. Are there any you don't want perhaps?

Thanks man. 👍 I handpicked all 32, so I'm keepin' 'em.

 

[AOS-]

That explains why there was nothing good left. I think I've only found about 3 really good cars and that was it.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Poor Warlock is so over looked as a truck.
Much better looking than the 'Express, and you could get a 440 in it.

 

[Spacegoat]

Nice stuff there, Shinji. Especially digging the Black Merc, Stratos and 911 Targa. 👍

Precisely. To think that everywhere else everything was worse.

Tell me about it. My '81 SL/E Commodore makes 171 Hp out of a 308 C.I (5 litre) V8.

Ok, thanks. Do you have a SRT GTS as well? And when you ship it out PM me. 👍

It's cool but you can still add a 440ci into the 'Express as well . But it's something about those smokestack exhausts that says badass, especially with a 440ci blown.

Always Mopar or no car, hehe 👍.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Wait, so is Shinji his real name?

171hp out of a 308? That's nuthin'. My family's '86 Olds Cutlass Salon makes 140hp out of a 307.


Phil: Yeah, but you could get a 440 in it from the factory.

 

[Cano]

Also, Canoe, I have an extra Gallardo SL. I know you've been looking for one. Still want one?

No man, thanks, I'm Gallardo-complete.

 

[Spacegoat]

Maybe.

"Shinji" is so not my real name. I told Andy to keep my name on a DL, and he's totally having fun with it. Goat knows my real first name, he's just messed up that way.

Edit: Damn it Jarrod! I didn't know I could, but I erased it.

 

[Spacegoat]

Check my edit.

 

[a6m5]

My real name is Shinji. Damn you Andy.

 

[McZachenF1138]

I don't know who to believe anymore!

 

[Spacegoat]

I fear, we've just confused Zach even more now.

 

[AOS-]

Shinji is a substitute name I give him.

Just as Andy ain't my real given name.

 

[a6m5]

I'll PM you my real name. Just promise me to keep it between us.

Thanks. A lot. Andooou!

 

[AOS-]

I break promises like I break wind. Don't do it.

 

[a6m5]

Real mystery is Cano's real name, but we are so off-topic. Somebody needs to post some Hot Wheels, Tomicas, ANYTHING! *goes off to bed*

 

[McZachenF1138]

Don't go to bed yet, I have some impulse Maistos to post from this evening!
