Top Secret D1 Nissan Silvia S15 - Hotworks Racing

I am very amazed with cars from the sport of drifting. This is because the cars are very colorful and filled with tempos from their sponsors. It can be said that there is no space wasted!
Not many know that the Hot Works Racing Factory have released car 1:64 scale for D1 Professional Drift series. This is one of the available model produced, "Top Secret D1 S15 Silvia 2004". What is interesting about this series is the front wheels can be adjusted!

note the similarity between the real car and the Hotworks version.

Jada - Chevrolet Camaro

Chevrolet Camaro is the answer to the Mustang car that dominated the 60s automobile industries. This car also has undergone various phases where each generation which replaces the previous model has been improved and designed to meet current target market.
We now know the Camaro as "Bumblebee" in the film "Transformers". Camaro also somewhat synonymous with the yellow color due to the influence of the film.
This time I want to introduce Chevy Camaro Jada version. Similar to the models in the film "Transformers", it is in yellow. It is a set of two car models that Camaro Chevy Camaro '81 and '06 model Chevy Camaro Concept issued in 2007 as a set of 2 cars.
It also launched the same year in which the film "Transformers" was published. Jada probably take into account factors such film to popularize its products? No matter what the reason, it is effective and I am for one had been a fan of this American-made car!

55 Chevy Panel - Hot Wheels

This is a 55 Chevy Panel from the 2010 Rides Delivery Slick series. I am not too very fond of this casting, but when I noticed the details in this model, I'm beginning to like it!
Hot Wheels really did their quality control this time with this one! This car is quite heavy because of the metal base and the bike that inside the car. Two thumb up for this car!

Note the words "Goodyear" on all tires, blue metallic body and bike in the car.

open sesame!

Tamiya - Daishin Advan Silvia 2003

"The Super GT series, formerly known as the All-Japan Grand Touring Car Championship or JGTC, is a grand touring car race series promoted by the GT-Association (GT-A). The Super GT is authorized directly by FIA.

On December 10, 2004, while the series had been mainly focused on Japanese domestic teams, sponsors and fans, with an ever-rising international fan following and TV coverage shown all over the world it was announced that JGTC would now be called Super GT with the goals of "challenge to the world", "challenge from the world", and "challenge to entertainment".

The cars are divided into two groups: GT500 and GT300 (cars with no more than 500 and 300 horsepower (374 and 224 kW), respectively). These power outputs are capped via the use of intake restrictors although some heavier cars are given allowances to run larger restrictors to maintain parity." quoted from wikipedia.

Did you know that the cars are divided into two categories, GT500 and GT300, and the both GT500 and GT300 groups are run at the same time? But the points are awarded separately for each group. The reason behind it is to maximize excitement for the fans.

GT500 is dominated by mostly top japanese car makers such as Toyota, Nissan and Honda. European car makers such as Ferrari and Aston Martin are also trying to test theirs cars against their japanese counterparts.

Tamiya, in conjuction with the Japan GT Championship, released JGTC diecast for the 2003 championship.

Presenting - Team Daishin Advan Silvia 2003!













It is one of the most detailed 1:64 scaled car that I had ever laid my eyes on! don't you think so?

Holy Batman!

Holy Batman!

It may looks very fictional, but it is actually powered by Merc Cruiser Chevrolet V-6 engines which allows Batboat to achieve the speed up to 45 miles per hour. The interior had many props and gadgets over the stern drive, and they also constructed a fake jet nozzle and water squirter to give the appearance of a nuclear boat motor.



Hot Wheels is one of the licensees to produce Batman's vehicles and they also have released a model to commemorate the 1966 model Batboat. Why 1966? This is because in 1966, a Batman film has been published and this model used by Batman in the film.








note to myself: never put diecast boat into the water.. It will sink!
