I got the Otto mobile Mazda rx7 Bathurst today. I also have a white rx7 spirit r from autoart supposed to arrive next week. The rx7 is probably my very favorite looking cars

This is my first Otto mobile car. It's very nice

I agree the Jouef P/4 spyder is a beautiful model and not easy to find.  I am going to decal mine to represent 0834 before its unfortunate accident at Le Mans in 1967.

I intend to decorate this as the 1967 BOAC 500 (Brands Hatch) car from Chris Amon/Jackie Stewart:

Yesterday on the way to the local model club meeting I stopped off at a new diecast store that was featured in the newspaper.  The store has thousands of 1/64 diecast which are out of my lane but I did find one I could not resist.

Very cool as the usual stores like Target and Walmart usually do not sell Mijo exclusives.  By the way what’s a newspaper?  ?

You have no idea how close I was to including a description of newspapers. ?

Nice little Porsche!

MG TC (Franklin mint) came yesterday via ebay from Germany for a good price - only fault: driver side door handle missing (will improvise something here) - otherwise a nice little roadster (with too much chrome):

Philip - did you apply the decals and paint the window frames?  I am just now finishing up the same car.

First model swap since October.  One of the vendors brought his die cast.  A young man talked his dad into the Maisto mid 50's Chrysler 300 and the 69 Dodge Charger.....nice choices!  I had been talking with the vendor and then I see a 69 Cougar back fill the space formerly occupied by the 300.  I teased the seller about holding back so we walked over to see what had not made it to the table yet.  BOOM....first thing that materializes is the 'cuda.  A few other nice ones and not being a Ford man, I caved on the Mustang.  $50 for the trio.
