I have a few of both and was well chuffed when her indoors gave me these 2 for my birthday the other day,particularly the XA ute which was a very limited number run and came with cert/number etc,detail is amazing.

Yes, sure do. At the moment I have 16 x 1/18 scale. A mix of Fords, and Holdens. Biante, Carlectables, and Autoart, and the detail is very nice. Also have 3 x 1/12 Tamiya Bikes. Had a few more but they got broken during a shift or two.

To be fair the TLs not that passenger friendly and she hadnt been on it for ages,shes a real trooper and on more than one occasion has done big trips on the thing with a bloody great pack on her back

Her only comment today was "before you buy anything else for this thing you buy a fucking grab handle" which ive been promising to do for years

My reply was "sorry girl its the new rims,bloody thing just heads skywards"lol.

Nice work,i was living up in Wellington and selling cars for a living and we hired out the 1st floor of a building opposite the pits in 89 (from memory) when the GTR raced at the Nissan Mobil.Awesome and though it spent plenty of time in the pits with teething troubles watching it leave the pits was farking awesome,fwiw when running it was lapping 5 seconds a lap quicker than the BMW that won,no mean feat round that track.
