Uh-oh, I appear to have been bitten by the Hotwheels bug...!!! Nipped in to Tesco today to purchase a Datsun Bluebird, Ford Torino GT and Dodge Dart... Looking forward to visiting the supermarket again this evening...  On another note, has anybody thought of a cunning way of displaying these whilst keeping them in their boxes...?! It's good to be addicted sometimes...  |

Get yourself a pinboard and then you can pin them to it where they display hook is on the box.

Finally bagged K.I.T.T. on Sunday, along with a white BMW 2002 Turbo (already have an orange one) and a lime green Plymouth Superbird.  Young Stan will get to have all but K.I.T.T., that's going in my sock drawer with Doc Brown's DeLorean. |

Oh my word, had a great dig around in Sainsbury's the other day and picked up some real gems...!!! All for 93 Pence too...  Photo's will follow soon... I forgot how easy it was to end up with doubles in these little models, it's hard to keep track of the ones I've got in my beaten up old brain... |

Some really cool stuff in this thread  I recently aquired 3 old American ambulances with a view to 'converting' them to heases / banger racers (they are in a pretty poor state so nothing will be lost in doing this imo). After searching the net for some pointers on what to do I came across this site; essexmodelsandminiatures.co.uk/blog/?page_id=716Just thought I'd post it here as there's a lot of useful info & photo's for anyone who's looking to do some resto work with diecasts.  |

Cripes...!!! Just went to Wilkinsons (other cut-price shops are available) just to get the wonderful looking Celica and ended up scooping up a load of other Hot Wheels gems (including an Angry Birds 'funny')...!!! It's like being on crack (I, ermmmm, imagine)... |

We picked up the Celica and The Mystery Machine this week. Not bought any in a while, so these were nice finds in a restocked Asda bin.

Did a spot of crimbo shopping last week and picked up a red '70 'Cuda and a blue '72 Gran Torino Sport for a mates boys, and the pink F100 pickup. I was tempted to get a couple for myself but didnt as my 1/43 collection is extensive enough and i don't need any more models. I just keep staring at the ones ive bought so I guess my Hotwheels collection will start the next time i go shopping. Probably tomorrow...
