You have completely lost me. Exactly, how is this a problem?

HI RACECAR XD
I kid! , the grill is to big to be painted plain orange, it would have been really nice if it had a bit more detailing , its not the worst car ever but its quality is questionable =/ The cars grill is huge yet it looks so plain and bad. THEY really need to bring the realistix line back!
Oh and i just discovered something today, I have a track aces box that has been hanging on my wall for years now in front of my pc, Today as i admired it i saw the box said ZENDER FACT 4 and i said wait a second that's crazy 8 inside the box !! 0.0 WHOOPS!
EDIT: I see your point with a white car but in orange YUCK!
 
I have the VehiCross, loose. I forgot about that one. GTO is really nice. If you want to send me a free car next year for my birthday, send that one. Thanks. :P

Well if A6 is getting the GTO for his birthday, feel free to send me the Escort Cosworth for mine. It's in december, make sure you don't forget. :sly:

Today I received a call from a guy in the club: "Dude, you dropped the Real Rider truck you bought back at the reunion and I found it, I'll take care for it and maybe we can meet next weekend so I can give it to you".

Dude was pretty honest, reallly. The car is a very rare 1986 Real Riders Path Beater that was DEAD MINT. Cost me $10, and when I got home I just didn't have it with me. I assumed it was lost, of course. I was lucky that the guy that picked it up was honest, few people would have given back such a car.

We need more like that. Live right, you have nothing to worry about.

Unless you live in Syria.
Agreed.

Les Stroud > Bear Grylls. It's that simple.
I went back to that poll we had while back, made sure you voted. :lol:

If you want to send me a free car next year for my birthday, send that one. Thanks. :P

Wow, that's awesome! I second a6m5, I wish there were more people like that...
 
I probably would have kept it, not because it was rare, I wouldn't have even known, but because it was an old model.

Just being honest.
 
Wow, really nice finds Medigo. I have the Escort and the Vechicross. Saying that, my Escort has been absolutely thrashed. :(

;)

Edit: I had to go back and make sure myself. :lol:

Actually, on the second look, that white Viper looks awfully sweet, too. 👍

Medigo, I don't care which one you want to send me. I'd take either one, I'm just selfless like that.

:P

Well it's settled then. Driving Park can have the Escort, A6 gets the white Viper and I'll have the GTO. Hope that's okay with you, Medigo. :sly:

Mmmhh… forget all of that, dude, you’re too late. Well, the $uper at least, forget it. I have never seen one. I miiiiight me able to snatch the First Edition cars but I’d have to dig a bit with the club members; then there’s the convention in September, a couple might turn up there too.

Also, I bought the Garage version loose over E-Bay and it came with a loose blue one, if you don’t mind having it loose, I could send that one to you once they come in. Finding the yellow one loose could also be easier. If you want purple versions speak now, they are EVERYWHERE here..

I already have the purple version thanks anyway. I would prefer carded cars but I would like the loose cars aswell. PM me and let me know how youd like me to pay and how much it would be.

Tuesday Morning. (I didn't even know this was in my state! :dunce: Until my brother told me.) If you guys have them, totally get these packs. :D

Dude, I had around three Escorts RS, and the white and blue one is my most favorite one ever growing up! :D Is you white Viper a GTS with a blue stripe? I had mine for years (even though it's scratched up, not entirely) and I still turn corners with it sometimes. I remember having the VehiCross in yellow, I loved it since driving it in Test Drive Off Road 3. I kinda remember the Ferarri GTO, but it was either a white or that red one, I'm not so sure about it.

But you brighten up my memories as a kid, thanks. I'll take a look out for the Tomica city packs. Perfect for photoshoots.

Back off A6, Driving Park and Goat. The Escort is mime I tell ya MINE!!!! My bday is in July....hehe. :mischievous::sly:

That's was really generous of the guy, giving you back your prized treasure 👍. I'm behind A6 as well, we need more people like this dude in the world. Kind, respectful, generous and willing to help any human being. People like this bring a light to humanity in this world.

You still have it right? What about restoring it completely?

3 other cars not seen in first image: Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32), Nissan Fairlady Z (350Z), Nissan Silvia S15 (200SX)

EDIT: Just Realized it's bad quality. Sorry was taken on phone and it wouldn't focus due to poor lighting.
 
I was glad I mentioned the flea market to my brother. Or else we wouldn't have stopped by and had a look at their stock. I was thinking to myself that there would be nothing new, but there was. Also, he helped point out some cars that I may have not noticed in there. I didn't think the Cossie was that special. :eek: A good grab for me I suppose... :D Especially the GT-R R35 in the grab bag, but also all the other cars too. Next up on the hunts list...still...the R34. :mischievous:

When did I turn into a giver, handing out MB and Hot Wheels cars? :P

Cool collection GranTurismo 5, got any more GT-Rs? ;)
 
I remember having the VehiCross in yellow, I loved it since driving it in Test Drive Off Road 3.

It comes in yellow too? I have a red one!

Back off A6, Driving Park and Goat. The Escort is mime I tell ya MINE!!!! My bday is in July....hehe. :mischievous::sly:

Dang it, my birthday isn't until December. :grumpy: Well, if that gets taken I can settle for the VehiCross. Thanks Medigo! :D

Just being honest.

I wouldn't even had started searching for the owner, much less so being such a rare model and in such shape, lol. But the guy doesn't collect loose cars, all his collection is blistered, and frankly he doesn't know crap about die cast, all he knows are THs, so maybe that had something to do with it.

I already have the purple version thanks anyway. I would prefer carded cars but I would like the loose cars aswell. PM me and let me know how youd like me to pay and how much it would be.

I promise I'll be on the lookout for them, I'll buy them if I find them but as I might find them with second-hand dealers, they might run a little higher in price. I'll let you know when I have the blue looose one in my hands, too. ¿Do you want a Garage? I miiiiight be able to snatch one of those, but that would run a higher price, of course.
 
Absolutely. I wouldn't have given it back.

And I know I sound bad after what has been said in here about the guy that called me, but I'm just bein' sincere, maybe if it was another car, but such a rare piece would now live in my display shelf.
 
Any one now how rare the doge concept cars are first edition copper heads, i have the one that was valued at 250$ * yes its the correct variation* in its box, and another cheaper one valued at around 40$ , are they rare or just overpriced. the guy at the collectors place was willing to give me 190$
 
Pictures? Highest valued one on south texas diecast is $125. Best thing to do is confirm you have the right one, then browse eBay to see what they are going for.

Let me dig the ol bastards out

Do not leave your wallet, or any valuables at Cano's house. He's sincere, but he will sincerely keep it.

If you see bunch of PayPal charges on your credit card for eBay hot wheels auctions, you know who took it. j/k
