I think the scale is 1:62 most probably. I wonder how a small VW can be bigger than a Mustang? hahaha. The newer Audi, Lambo and such all have the bigger scale. Not that its a bad thing. But because collectors like me were collecting the range and then suddenly they decide to bloat up the size, then sort of affect the continuation. I think those Lambo, VW & Audi are nice like DUB kind of stuff. Just that it feels very off for me anyway. If people like 24" bling with candy paint, then its their thing.

Ohhhh its really based on a die cast store! What a find man. I think this is like the T-hunts of the transport series. hahaha. Really regret a little that i passed this up. Maybe because of the Bel Air. If it was muscle instead of vintage...... Anyway some more of my stuff i dug up when i sis some cleaning. Chevy Impala Pontiac Firebird Chevy Biscayne Karman Ghia Mustang GT Mustang notchback Anyway Custom series saw quite a few Lambo Gallardo, Muercilago, R32, R8 and such. Did not buy because the scale is bigger than 1:64. It practically dwarf everything in HW Maisto but is smaller than Siku. That is really strange. If they made it smaller i would have gotten them all.

Stamps relaxing???? No serious? hahahah! I collected stamps before. Still have a them. I think its an even worse hobby than HW cars. Many many more variations, imitations, first day covers blah blah. I find it no different than collecting money. At least with money there is a limit on how much it can be minted. But stamps are too many. Waaayyyy too many. I quit stamps just after 2 years. It accumulates too fast!

Sidewall metal mesh is more flexible than the contact patch. Unless the metal mesh is broken, it is not advisable to patch. The other way is to use tyre tube inside the tubeless tire. Also cheap solution. Also the patch did last 6 months until the steel mesh broke and cut through the patch and then the tire no more use. The tyre is almost 3 years old, so not much worries there. That time i was using 13" wheels and was ready to upgrade to 14". That is why i patched. There was once i had a 6 inch rod went through the contact patch and the rod grated the sidewall from inside. I drove almost 20 km without realizing i had that rod inside and i had a flat. Needless to say went to a tyre shop nearby and changed that tyre. And the tyre is only 3 months old!!! $$$$$ ~~~~ fly~~~~~ Now don't want to buy expensive tires like Michelin or goodyear already. Buy Silverstone enough.

FYI it is not easy to drill screw in tyre. Even the sidewall have wire mesh. Though not as heavy gauge as the contact patch. Actually can patch. Last time my tyre was cut by a large piece of metal on the sidewall. It cannot be patched with the usual manner. But they used a piece of tyre patch from inside. But still it did not last as the tire gave way after 6 months. It still beats having to pay few hundred for a tyre though.
