Still loving the Hot Wheels here:

 

 

One of my favourite new cars. Fiesta ST is wicked too, though:

 

The Focus joins a decent collection of fast Fords:

 

This thing is brilliant, too. Real thing, and Hot Wheels version:

 

Matchbox, and a really well-proportioned casting:

 

And a random. It had a whiff of late 80s/early 90s about it, and it was a quid. 

I haven't updated this for a while. Some highlights!

Hot Wheels Porsche 964 in an Urban Outlaw/Magnus Walker inspired colour scheme. Love this!

 

 

The rear lights are part of the window piece which is a neat touch

 

I have a few HW Porsches...

 

Picked up a Shortie Bus to go with the custom one:

 

Matchbox and Hot Wheels versions of the new MX-5:

 

And a great Matchbox casting:

Anyone else find anything interesting? :-)

Haven't posted in here for a while. Still picking out the occasional Hot Wheels cars... this one is a favourite.

Otherwise I've had a quiet few months. There hasn't been much I've been looking for, and I'm picky as I'm steadily running out of room! 

Couldn't resist this, though: 

The Porsche 934.5 has been on my wish list for as long as I've known it was in the pipeline. Cool car, great model. 

This isn't new, obviously, but it's incredibly hard to find. Amazed to find six! 

There's a variation with these. Some have a harness on the driver's seat, and if you pop it apart it has an RB26 under the bonnet. 

(The black one is a Hot Wheels car)

I've also got back into a bit of customising recently. Nothing huge, just had an idea for a wheel swap which snowballed a bit. 

I'd been after a set of wheels that suited the Magnus Walker Porsche 356A better than the original ones. On a whim, I bought a couple of Ford pickups and used a pair of front axles. Might give them a coat of silver, or maybe red, paint. Not sure yet. 

This left two of the axles with the bigger steelies. They're massive so don't suit many cars, so I tried them on my Transporter and... they're better than the Real Riders it came with. 

Seemed a shame to let nice Real Rider wheels go to waste. But they're huge too, so not many cars work well. The Matchbox Karmann Ghia was a guess but, yeah that works too!

Which only leaves one on my wish list. And I think I might have to import it. It'll be worth it though...

Anyone else still picking them up?

You have some class models not seen the white Porsche before which shop did you find it.

Thanks! I found it in Asda, it's an awesome car done well in miniature. I've got a 935 as well, so I've got the set of those. 

 

Looking into something to display them better as tbh this Hot Wheels malarkey has got out of hand and I've run out of room...

Quality my mother in law works in Asda she found the 356 outlaw for me.  I've got approx 80 Porsches either corgi, hot wheels or matchbox.

Then the 934.5 is a must have! :-)

 

I should add here that it's not just Hot Wheels I've been picking up recently. I found this Oxford Diecast Defender Heritage, which is a model of the press car I had in on test:

 

 

Then I ended up at the LR Experience a few weeks later and got a Huey to go with it:
