Hot Wheels Hump Day - BMW 2002

It's time for a Hot Wheels Hump Day!  Here's my BMW 2002.  The BMW 2002 has always been my favorite BMW.  A friend of mine had a BMW 2002 many years ago as his first car and it was a fun car -- a very tossable performer!

McClaren F1 GTR

It's been a long time since I posted on this blog.  But, I'm feeling the need for a little speed.  I'll revive this blog with one of my favorite 1:18 diecast cars.  It's a McClaren F1 GTR.  The McClaren's were raced on all sorts of European racing circuits.

Chevy 3100 Stepside Pickup

Here's the last of cars at the haircut place.  It's a classic that we've seen before.  It looks like a 1965 Chevy Stepside pickup truck.

It completes a cool little collection in the shop window.  Playing with it sure beats reading women's magazines while waiting for a haircut.

Volkswagen New Beetle - Soccer Ball Style

I found this VW Beetle in the window of my local hair cut shop.  It's looks like a soccer ball and it's been kicked around some.

Oh Lord Won't You Buy Me a Mercedes-Benz!

I recently ran across a small collection of diecast cars at a local hair cutting establishment.  These cars were actually in the wild wear they could be played with by kids, toddlers, and business people awaiting haircuts.  But, the classic lines of this AMG Mercedes-Benz SLS shine through . . .

You can't disguise that long hood and that faded tri-star.  It always looks good.
