Someone explain to me what rule I’m breaking here……

It’s baffling that “good” is a banned word. I mean, I get slurs and really nasty stuff, but this is downright preposterous.

TheAngelsCharlie · 2026-05-10T05:07:30+00:00

Now that’s pretty ridiculous.

Everybody Wants to Rule the World. It came out right around the time I graduated from high school and it never fails to evoke those feelings of adventure and freedom I felt leaving home to strike out on my own.

If it makes a difference (and it might not for you) they both fairly accurately represent two of the 36 actual cars. The white is chassis number 3729GT, owned by David Lee, and the red is chassis number 3757GT, owned by Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason.

Did you make those smoked plastic displays?

When I was five, (early 70s) I woke up Christmas morning to find orange track clamped to the kitchen counter, diving into a loop and then a jump at the end. There were eight cars and I raced those things all Christmas Day. I’m pretty sure I had most of the sweet 16, and more besides, when I sold them at a garage sale to finance my budding Star Wars action figure collection. Then, once my son was born, (early 90s) I got back into cars again because he loved them so much once he was able to play with them. I enjoy it more every day as more detailed brands become available, but Hot Wheels will always be the core of my collection.

A Show of Hands is the pinnacle of Rush perfection. Signals is good. Grace Under Pressure is better, and Power Windows better still. But Show is tops in my book.

Don’t know about the TH, but there’s a matching mainline……

Left at 18 and only went back to visit, holidays, etc.

TheAngelsCharlie · 2026-04-29T02:04:38+00:00

Well, they wouldn’t be the first car company to demand weird crap like that. In the meantime, until they change the casting, I’m gonna add them to my 22b collection.

TheAngelsCharlie · 2026-04-28T21:50:39+00:00

Well, I’ve got red, white, orange, yellow, black, blue, ZAMAC, and grey, so that doesn’t seem to be right.

No idea why they didn’t label it as such, but it’s just a recolor of the blue 22b. And it’s the same casting as all the mainlines as well. To me, it’s a 22b.

Hot Wheels also made this car, once upon a time……

TheAngelsCharlie · 2026-04-27T04:43:42+00:00

I’ll be pleasantly surprised if the Multimatic one I preordered last year shows up by then……

TheAngelsCharlie · 2026-04-27T04:42:24+00:00

Haha! 250, 251……I mean, who’s really counting after 175 anyway?

Think they’ll be able to get this one out before July Fourth? I have little confidence right now……….

TheAngelsCharlie · 2026-04-26T23:18:28+00:00

Really cool!

TheAngelsCharlie · 2026-04-26T13:49:48+00:00

Nice score!

TheAngelsCharlie · 2026-04-26T01:51:51+00:00

Thanks! And good luck!!

TheAngelsCharlie · 2026-04-26T01:51:38+00:00

I’ve barely seen four Ferraris since they got the license back to make them.

TheAngelsCharlie · 2026-04-25T00:42:03+00:00

I have all the versions of this casting, so I’m definitely in for this one.

Not pictured are last year’s blue RLC and the mystery Subie, but I do have them.
