January wasn’t a big month for collecting, I added 10 cars to my collection, mostly Hot Wheels and only one Matchbox.
- ‘76 Chevy Chevette (Hot Wheels). Drag strip style, I got this because the Chevette brings back memories of the seventies. In England there was the Vauxhall Chevette that was very similar in style to the Chevy Chevette.
- Mazda 787B (Hot Wheels). I have this model in blue as well. This was a car I liked to race in Gran Turismo 6.
- ‘62 Corvette (Hot Wheels). I like how the car has a black and white style like it is from an old film or TV Series.
- Track Manga (Hot Wheels). The very antithesis of monochrome a bright deco like a manga comic on this crazy looking car in the Bouzouki style.
- 1980 AMC Eagle (Matchbox). The only Matchbox model added to my collection this month. The AMC Eagle has the faux wood panelling along the side.
- Lamborghini Aventador (Majorette). 1:64 scale. I now have four similar Aventadors produced by different diecast manufacturers. Made in Thailand.
- ’17 Acura NSX (Hot Wheels). Japanese supercar.
- VW Golf Mk1 (Hot Wheels). Tooned style, not sure about the style I’d prefer a regular Golf. This is a regular treasure hunt.
- ’94 Toyota Supra (Hot Wheels). Tooned style. Fast and Furious. The car Paul Walker drove but a tooned version.
- ‘89 Mercedes 560 SEC AMG (Hot Wheels). Very popular with the scalpers here, I managed to find one the scalpers missed.
