There is was, 6:30 am and just getting out of bed. Put the coffee on and went into the living room and turned the TV on to the morning news. Roads to the coast were bare and dry so far so my trip was a solid go. Coffee made and a cup in me I got dressed and went out to start the truck. It has been below freezing here overnight for the last couple of weeks. Isn't Mountain life grand?

Car Driving as an Art & some vintage diecast

by ModelCarFreak

Bought this lovely book called "Car Driving as an Art", a guide for learners from the early 50s.  It has lots of images and I scanned the ones with diecast.  Do you know what they are?




Bought this one at the same time as the DY-9 Land Rover. Its a basic heavy diecast model excellent for display purposes only. The silver metallic blue was a fairly standard colour in the 1990s as it was used on specific Yesteryear models at the time.

Would've been nice if TPTB been a bit more adventurous in their colours for this model in either light pastels or two-tone combo's.



A few weeks ago during another forum discussion about Matchbox-Dinky I realized I must have this particular Land Rover in my collection. Won it for a reasonable price without any great hassle and straight from the UK for a change.
