Hot Wheels BMW 3.0 CSL Street Custom

Here's my take on one of the best recent HW releases, the BMW 3.0 CSL! These have been my favorite BMW model for as long as I can remember. They are just the ideal car to me, elegant styling, great performance and just an overall classiness that modern cars can't touch.

HW has done nothing but racing spec ones so far, and they've made some very nice ones... But I decided to see what I could do with a street version.. And I am absolutely thrilled with how it came out. 

New Diecast Finds April 3rd, 2015

Found some great stuff over the last couple of days, finally. This has been a real slow spell for me, absolutely nothing new in stores for what seems like ages now. The first set of pics was found at Walmart yesterday.

And these next pictures were ebay finds that arrived today. First is a cool vintage Lesney Matchbox puzzle.. Not sure of the history behind it, but it was too cool to pass up! And the rest of the cars were bought in one big lot, and came in at less than $1 each shipped. 

2015 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance Part 1

Hello everyone.. No diecast posts this weekend, I am in sunny Florida for the 2015 Amelia Island Concours! I have been to a few smaller concours events before, but absolutely nothing like this. The show is just mind blowing. Here is a sample of a few pictures I have taken so far..

And a link to my Flickr album for the event:

"Postflight Briefing" - Finds for the Week January 31st 2015

Hey hey everybody. It's been a pretty good week for diecast finds, much better than last week. So let's dive right in..

First up, a couple of 75 Challenge cars I picked up on ebay for cheap..

Next, two new finds from Walmart, a mainline Lambo and Retro Entertainment Lotus

Another 75 Challenge vehicle that arrived today. 

The latest batch of Hot Wheels from Walmart

And last but not least, a lot I won on ebay for a mere $4 shipped. Definitely the best deal of the week!

Matchbox BMW Z3 - Pair of Wheel Swaps

If you saw my finds post for last week, you saw a big box of wheel-less cars I recently received. These two BMW Z3s were in the box, from the old Matchbox Premiere series. I threw a couple sets of newer Matchbox wheels on them, and I'm pretty pleased with the result!
