I bought myself a couple presents:
BMW 3.5 CSL in 1:18 by Minichamps.
And the Live and Let Diecast custom R32 GTR
Got my M1 Procar out because it’s the only other BMW I have. (I mostly collect Porsche Prototypes)
I’m celebrating by watching Netflix and hoping these antibiotics make my sinus/ ear infection go away soon. Really tired of not being able to hear out of my right ear.
Anyway, I’m 26 today, so p ost awesome racecars in celebration:

Happy naming day! Where did you get the LALD? (If you don't mind my asking) Would be a nice little office oppo me thinks.

Yup, I have a penchant for rally, but the A110 is one of my favorite race cars of any type of all time...so pretty, and very competitive in their time!

You and I have very similar tastes in cars in general. French and Eastern European rally cars are just the best. (I’ll have a Škoda someday)

I got it from TYO Toys, they had a little run of like 20 each of the GTR and 300ZX made. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, they sold out within a couple days. Hopefully there will be another collab in the future.

Yessssss! Love the Trans Am Foxbody Mustang.

My dream garage would consist of a FIAT
126p, classic FIAT 500, Citroen 2CV, Skoda 105/120/130/Estelle series, FSO Polonez Caro (pre-Daewoo)
, a Trabant and a Piaggio Ape TM....and a Suzuki Alto Lapin SS....and some sort of classic 360cc Kei car, like a Honda Life Touring
or Mitsubishi Minica. :D
I would love a current or second-gen FIAT Panda Cross or Panda 4x4 as a DD, but sadly we never got them on this side of the Pond....LAME.
I R be weird. :P

You can’t go wrong ... do a Google search for “Alitalia race car” and you’ll find other gems like this :

I’m the only person I know with a Subaru 360 T-shirt (although today I’m wearing my Calder Art Car T-shirt).
There’s been a Škoda 120 rally car on mobile.de for quite a while that I desperately want but absolutely don’t have space or time for. I still want it tho.

Apparently I somehow don’t. Several 25s and 27s but no 26s. Guess I’ll have to solve that, lol.

I was very happy to see the LaLD tweet with the TYO link. I don’t make it over to LaLD as much as I should, but I love the site. I really should do some photography for a post because I think I’ve bought like 5 1:18 Porsche’s since I last posted over there.

I don’t have much in the way of weird car shirts (yet!), but I do have a Trabant and an AWZ P70 Zwickea
u Kombi model on my night table as well various others scattered around...
a FIAT 126p, Polonez...Chrysler Atlantic concept....Renault Twingo...FSO Syrena...first-gen Panda...Alpine A110...Cadillac Allante...I like weird stuff!
Mostly basic/weird stuff, but fancier weird stuff is interesting too....there’s a GAZ-12 Zim Limo somewhere around here too!

space settlements, I assume this is a boring book about precedents of how legal actions have been settl ed over space issues.

(It’s actually about a series of summer studies conducted by NASA Ames between 1975 and 1978 where they brought together engineers, Architects, and artists to try to envision what life in space would look like. The author has compiled it all and wrote a comprehensive history of the project.)
The illustrations are gorgeous.

You wanted awesome racecars for your birthday? Well here you go!
Both 1:18, both by TSM. Doesn’t get much more awesome than a Porsche 935, I think. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

I keep looking at that Interscope 935 that Model Citizen has on their site but I haven’t been able to convince myself to buy it.

The 1:18 935 or the 1:43 934/5? Either one is cool, but the 1:18 is fantastic, as i can tell you from personal experience.
![]() 07/10/2019 at 16:32 |

The 1:18. I want it badly, but $200 is a bit more than I’ve bought anything for at this point.
I know they’re way down the quality chain, but Norev has the 1970 and 71 Lemans winning 917Ks coming out soon and I’ll probably buy both.

Trans Am Challenger, M8D McLaren, and a 935? Dream garage right there!

NOREVs do look phenomenal from display distance though. You won’t get the engine detail you’d get out of a higher end autoart, but really most of the time it’ll sit on a shelf. That being said, these two TSM 935s were totes worth it for me. The details are great! I do save my 1:18 purchases for the really special ones. And I honestly thing I’m over 1:18 for a while. Just don’t have space anymore, and I can expand my 1:43 porsche race car collection by 4 for one 1:18 that i’d want.
![]() 07/11/2019 at 09:52 |

I’m running into that issue. My current goal is to collect “all” of the Porsche Prototypes in 1:18. Currently I’ve got 908/2, 917K, 917LH, 918/10, 917/20, 956L , and 962C.
My biggest wants are a 906, 908/3 (with the fins) , 917/30, 936/77, and WSC-95. An RS-Spyder and 919 would be nice as well, but man that’s a lot of cars.
Maybe achievable if I stop buying other random stuff I see on sale and truly stick to my theme.

That would be an amazing collection. I can recommend following @lemans1969 on instagram. Dude has every le mans winner in 1:18, it’s crazy.
My Porsche 1:43 racers collection stands at 16 right now, there are just too many to keep track of. LOL but sticking to the theme is tough too.
