Ooh, that could be a fun project... Problem is, I'd struggle to decide what livery to do!

Som really nice castings for the new matchbox movie. This NASCAR is a great model and would make a really good base for someone with more time (and talent) to make some lovely classic liveries on.
Nice. That would make a nice base for some custom NASCAR builds.

I m off to Aldi and Tesco tomorrow, fingers crossed they have some stock
Grab me a 928 if you can bud - it's gonna be bloody ages until I'm able to go raid the bins!
No 928 to be found on my travels (Home Bargains, Alfi & Sainsbury) chum, found a few Maser Tipo 61 but I already have those, also seems to be an abundance of the black Honda City Turbo thingy lately too.

I almost bought the Espace F1 but ended up just coming back with this Sperling although I am going Tesco tomorrow so will see what they have

I'm still keeping an eye out for a Lotus 49 as that was one of my favourite Scalextric cars when I was a kid, but it seems to be elusive around here.

I went to Aldi today, got a Morgan Super 3, Lotus Elise Sport and a Shelby GT500 (original one). Not bad. Halfords and Sainsbury's had nothing interesting.

I acquired some more Oz Wheels.

First up a modified Holden VL Commodore BT1 that was a limited edition for Summernats



A twin pack of Holden HJ wagons from the “Hauling Kids and Ripping Skids” line.



Most recent was the latest 6 pack that I bought for these 2:

I found the Prelude and Odyssey a couple of weeks ago in the supermarket



And today Big W had a Datsun and a Nissan



And a long card Prelude in metallic blue which is the same series and numbered the same (5/5, 136/250) as the black one, which seems odd.

I want to say yes, but seeing as I'd already had a VERY long day before I arrived, and a relatively short transfer to get my st together (and crucially, a shower!) then it could have been bloody anywhere!

Good prices with lack of VAT and FX rate. £40 for the haul.

I need to find that Motorsport Elise! I worked on the race team when they supported the touring cars smile

Does the model have the single central seat?

Some interesting bits there Jader. I saw a Corgi Holden at an autojumble here in the UK a couple of years ago for £10, from memory, and regretted not getting it ever since.
