Hello to all!
Guess I'll take the leap, hope this site likes pictures better than the server's appetite for cash
Being that our leader Jeff is a Ford man, thought what better than to show the evergreen Mustang, in well green!

Excellent choice! And a very unique color.

Excellent choice! And a very unique color. Figured you might like it Jeff! It was the last hurrah circa '71 before everything went south. Plus, I think it had a 351 Cleveland, so even more appropriate!

If there was ever a way to introduce yourself here... That looks amazing in green!

Thanks Tom...it just all sort fit as mentioned above. I bought this one upon release back in 2010. I know the IXO/PX have done one and it looks great too. Almost snagged one at the $15 sale but figured this old PMA Avocado-hued example still had some charm.

OK, going to bring back the U-Haul truck to our new home. Speaking of trucks, what better than the real thing...in 1:43? I've shown this long ago, but thought a second look might be welcomed?

Great idea, I'd completely forgotten about that one. It looks fantastic, but we can entrust that to Spark. Very high quality!

I think it would be unheard for the Spark of 2022 to produce something like this. Probably a smart business decision to NOT make Ram trucks vs. numbered cars? Then again, look at what GT Spirit does in 1:18 with Ford Raptors etc etc.
OK, heading over to France this time for a 'big' Renault sedan of the 1980s....while not as exotic or running on the hydro fluid of a Citroen CX, always found these an interesting design that still looks good today!

I have the Phase 2 in silver so yours now goes on my wish list. Excellent, best colour too. Seems at the time that 75% of all R25s were burgundy.

I had the same Mach 1 model. Thumbs up.

I agree, the Renault 25 is still a good looking car - as is the model.
The Mach 1 is also causing some trembles in the knee-region.

And so goes the Phase 2 to my list Tom...even though I've never seen a 1:1 R25, many photos show this burgundy!
