    Actually they’re looking for a charging station, but S.O.L. I’m afraid.

      Due to the recent budget cuts,
      the rising cost of electricity, gas, and oil, plus the
      current state of the economy, the light at the end

      • Today at the Garage…

        The 50 year old Dragon Wheels is whispering a joke to the new Beetle Dragster. Wonder if it’s a dirty one?

        Yes, definitely a dirty joke – maybe the one about the nun and the chicken.

                  Thankyou Daniel!

                  But most of the work on these was done by my phone, the coloured lights in the Showroom, and a bit of Photoshop. Actually, on low light shots like these, my phone likes to argue with me on where to focus.

                  "English - Canadian"? Well If I make it to 61 (and I hope I do) I will start calling myself Canadian, because it will mean I've lived longer in Canada than back in the old country. Holy crap time flies!

                    I agree - both awesome models, but quite a difference in price.

                    The Tomica Premium Veyron cost me 13 bucks, whereas the Bburago Lambo cost 35!

                      I really like the way Matchbox are re-releasing these old castings, even though they are not exactly the same.

                      I still have my Dragon Wheels VW from my childhood, but it's in a pretty rough state - https://www.diecastgarage.org/node/1...207#post163207

                      The one in the photo I found in Anaheim many years a go.

                        Thanks Skwerl!

                        Haven't seen that old Cliff Richard movie since I was a kid!!

                          Around where we live, Christmas trees are free – at least in certain areas. Yesterday we went and got ours.

                          We always go out along the same logging road which takes you up into the clouds.

                          Those lines stretch all the way across the valley in a single span – very impressive.

                                I may have the Tomica premium Veyron rather than the Autoart, it's pretty close, and not $50. Also didn't know Bburago did 1/64
