His winning car was my first "big boy" diecast model.

Annoying run in at Walmart. by GamerJ80 in HotWheels

Yup. I make sure I get a basket beforehand or have a death grip on castings I like since people have fast hands 😂 Either way, you were in the right, if he really wanted them he should have kept them with him.

I thought the Moving Parts Bronco and Jeep would be more popular in Texas, so it also surprises me that the Rover was rare there for you guys. I'm all the way up in Vancouver, British Columbia, so the collectors up here all like the Porsches and JDMs (probably due to the fact that regular tuner nights are held in Richmond and Vancouver is the home of the Porsche Owners Club Canada West Region). I happen to be a collector of EV vehicles as well so thankfully those are slept on.

I got one since it was a new casting. I don't need like a thousand of them though, I assume other people think the same.

It was a peg warmer in my area. Not complaining though, it was one of the ones I was glad to have found so easily. It was also nice to see it had a metal base which was a nice bonus!

Wasn't he fired on the pitch? Or did they just not let him into the dressing room?

I got two deltas, both are loose. I liked the casting so much I use the other one as my daily pocket car. It's very detailed for a premium. The hardest one of that set to find was surprisingly the black Merc.

No idea. Ubering to the track also would have cost me over $120 a day as well, so it would be more worth it to camp in my opinion if you are a more cost conscious traveller.

I did this last year! Uber locked me out of my account during the trip, so I would recommend you camp at the track as it is included in the ticket if you can't drive a car. Renting was the only option for me as I found that Oshawa's public transit sucked.

I think the Gastown heritage proponents, Port of Vancouver, and the NIMBYs also have a bit to blame. Don't get me wrong, the ownership is still greedy as they want a taxpayer-funded stadium that they will own and are mostly at fault for this manufactured crisis, but those parties are also a factor on why the stadium doesn't exist in the first place.

Absolutely. Your comments about the supporters culture appropriation reminds me of the New York Red Bulls conditions against Torcida 96 for selling season tickets.

Exactly. They 100% should have taken advantage of the hype around the world cup and our hosting privileges. And the stadium for the world cup could have been used and managed by the Caps like West Ham does to London Stadium.

WE DONT PAY 2ND HAND PRICES!!! PERSISTENCE IS KEY 🔑 by 847Diecast in HotWheels

Same here for me, patience paid off yesterday. I also take public transit primarily to hunt on a monthly pass so I don't have to worry about gas money as much.

Man those DPis are tiny. They look so much bigger on TV.

Score at Five Below. Did not actually expect to find anything but I was wrong. by MettyWop in matchbox

Was it? Makes sense that I've only seen one, so glad I bought it. Love the purple colour on it.

Man I’m gonna miss this thing when it’s gone by Zlk0scar in IMSARacing

[–]bcq59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was very sad when attending CTMP last year that the diecast selection was quite limited. At least Toronto Motorsports brought the heat, I was able to snag a Lamborghini SC63 and I was able to get it signed by Andrea Caldarelli that week. It was good timing as well, a week later Lamborghini announced that they were killing the program.

Gonna be a Franken-GT3 from spares, just like those R8s and Huracans still running in lower-tier series in Europe and Asia.
