This would make a great model...

I like the cardboard under the engine.

Although we saw this in our small town today, we didn't have any means to photograph it, so I've searched and found a Toyota Special Edition, only built and sold for 2001-2002 due to lack of interest in Japan. There are the owner (local Postman) told me there are about 40 in the UK. 1300CC engine front bench seat and 4 speed automatic gearbox. It's outlandish looks weren't liked in Japan were it was designed and built by Toyota! It is named WILL Vi.

A Renault 5 crossed with a Ford 105E Anglia! 😆

I would love to see a resin/3D 4 door GLH body for the Charger/Daytona kit. Not a powerhouse by 60s, or even today's standards, but still a car with some street cred in the mid 80s. I got beat by one with my 85 Mustang GT, and my 87 LX 5.0. I finally gave in and purchased one. It was not the GLHS, but an 86 GLH. It was a rocket. That was short lived when I traded it in for 87 Grand National, but it was fun.

theres a 3d print of the talbot horizon which is the same car

Bentley's in my parking garage...seems the coupe needs airbag work, or Kindig Customs has been working on it 🤪

Those were cool cars, but the trade in for the gn was a great choice.

The grooved bodywork is similar to the early Citroen 2CV.

This has been parked at the local detailing shop for years, usually blocked by a f350. 40's g.m. I think, not very well versed in those years. There's also a couple late 60's big caprice or impala tucked around back. You can just get a glimpse of those driving by.

Actually, almost forgot I saw a circa 1980 Chevy truck, a crusty green one driving about our white blanketed streets amidst sweeping snowflakes. Only 80s-90s winter beaters around this time of year up here, nothing too classy; the occasional 1985 Chrysler New Yorker or what not.

Coming back from town saw a trailered 48-50 Plymouth station wagon. Two tone paint green and gold. They were going in the opposite direction so didn't get a really good look.

Found a picture from the auction:

A good lunch became even better, I realized that I need to build Tamiya's CV2.

We had a high temp of 71 today so I took a walk around the neighborhood and found this. Not sure of the year but it's a 2 door coupe Plymouth Valiant.  I saw it on the road last month and it's nicely patina'd but clean! We live in the no-rust belt of central Texas and it's not uncommon to find such jewels. It has standard steel wheels on the front and wider cop wheels on the back with a slight rake. The best touch to me is a pair of small Vise Grips he uses to pull out and turn the light switch.

[Rob Hall]

1967 Valiant.  Neat.

Very nice, the hauler is as well.

Had to run an errand this morning when I saw a car parked on the side of the HI way going in the other direction. At 60 + mph I thought better about trying to fumble with my cell phone to take a picture. Just sort of a nondescript 4 door import except that most of the body work in front of the windshield was seriously damaged. The local deer population seems to be spending a lot of their nocturnal hours chasing each other about and it looks like they got another car last night.

While out & about today I got to see what the Buzz is about. I didn't get any front photos, but it could grow on ya... IMO..

We see quite a few of the VW Buzz EV, in both van and camper versions, but nearly £60,000 here in the UK!

That's a 1st Edition. They start at $65495 USD or  $69995 USD with 4 MOTION.

Looks good and when the first spy pictures started popping up, I told my wife I wanted to make that our next new car. Then they announced it would be electric only, no hybrid option. No Hybrid no sale. I'm more than happy with the Lexus we got instead. Can't wait for someone to put an LS into one of these!
