The 'Breadvan' is a longstanding favourite and I'm so glad we got a quality model of it. Could you imagine turning up to Le Mans today in 'breadvan' style F488.

I wonder why so many Belgian drivers used fake names...

Lots of good stuff Martin. I do like the Best TZ1's and TZ2's, but they are showing their age a little and would hope one day Spark re-make these.

Those Look Smart models, er, look smart. Sorry couldn't resist. Splendid stuff, I know I have the blue TZ1 and may have a couple of the rest but you do have a great collection of Italian racing cars. I await the next batch with anticipation.

Nice TZs! Those Look Smart models, er, look smart. Sorry couldn't resist. Splendid stuff, I know I have the blue TZ1 and may have a couple of the rest but you do have a great collection of Italian racing cars. I await the next batch with anticipation. Thanks Gents, yes the Look Smarts are very nice. They are about as high as I will go to pay for a model these days, although their current prices mean that I am now much more picky when looking at the new releases - I do like a sale though! Tax avoidance . Should've known that, it's their national sport. The Dutch nouveau riche is moving to Belgium for that purpose. That's the day Martin will have to start living in a tent... I sometimes wake up in the night screaming when thinking about this! As much as I like a Spark, I would be totally screwed if Spark tried to outdo Best in the number of TZs. I may have to start selling Mrs Alfaholic's organs as well as my own!!! |
