Got a 2003 Vairy 8 yesterday like the one below. Image courtesy of www.southtexasdiecast.com Guess who are in the tampo. The car was made in Thailand and issued together with its first edition made in Malaysia. Interestingly, this car also appears in the tampo on the bonnet. What a happy find!
Couldn't understand why a car has such a name. Asphalt is like tar used to build roads while assault means a sudden violent attack. So meaning this car is very powerful, running very fast and its tyres are attacking the road surface.
The 2012 Lamborghini Gallaro (my new avatar) is very nice. Nice car, tampo, colours, .. It's a hard to find item! Lucky to find one today. Its dark blue colour is close to black. Image courtesy of www.hotwheels.com.
A sun roof could be a better option. With such an option, I guess Mattel would have no choice but to put in the interior bec. it is easily noticeable. Who knows the cars would then sell like VERY hot cakes!
Hi Stulio Thanks for your help. Frankly, I was quite disappointed. Message to Mattel: I suggest a new version of it and better with no roof but with full interior. I am too happy to collect them all!
The New Mini Challenge is another nice casting. I only got the blue one. I saw some red ones but clipped together in three with other two cars and I did not grab it bec. the cards were spoilt.
Saw several Subaru Imprezza and so disappointed by the plastic body. The light colour of the body coupled with unpainted surface exposed the ugly marks of plastic especially on the roof.
[quote="enyomic"] Sorry, the pic. was not taken by me, just took it from the Internet. I did not notice its owner's name was on the pic until I read your post. Hope the owner won't mind. Yes. I like cars whether they are real or just models, especially sports cars.
The '11 Ford Fiesta is very cool. Very nice tampo though I know nothing about "Block", very nice car with exagerated big wheel arches, ... Guess this is the first car with a two-colour base, just wonder how Mattel did it. Thank Mattel for producing such a master piece.
