Hello all, not sure if anyone is into the Hotweels cars. I usually have a look at the rack when I'm in my local parts shop, I can see how people get into them but I have to limit myself to just the Small Fords, Escorts, Sierra's etc.
Anyway... theres a new Escort out, a green RS2000. Lime green is the common one which I picked up today but theres also a Super treasure hunt one in Metallic green.
For $2.50 they're a bit of fun and worth keeping an eye out for.

My sister has a harly Davidson 2022 mineral green metallic breakout
Motorcycle.
It was a gift or so inheritance to my nephew whose now 4 years old.
As much as he loves climbing all over it, and hides when it’s started.
It’s been agreed by all,
Looking to trade it in or swap to the same value.
Ideally looking for a Capri v6 gt project.
May consider another early model Ford
Thanks
Not sure even permitted to do this on this forum let me know if to remove it thanks
Stickers are in memory easy to remove no damage

As per the title I'm looking for an alloy rocker cover to suit pinto engine.
Would like one of the JR cast ones with the logo, but happy to consider whatever else is out there.
If you've got one laying around shoot me a PM.
Cheers.

Hi All,
From memory doesn't one of our members do 3D printing of parts? I have had a plastic trim piece on the GT go missing so looking to get a reproduction done. Appreciate any info. if not too expensive might get a few done, seems to be hard to get and no other repro available. Cheers, Len.

Hi All,
for those not aware, Hotwheels have put out an X pack RS2000 model. Got mine at my local Repco, as did my son, but they might be available at other stockists. pity they mixed the wheels on it.

This Tuesday the 20th of September will mark 60 years since the release of the Cortina.
The nameplate spanned 5 different marks over 20 years. Engines were available from a 1200cc four to a 4.1 litre six and everything else in between with countless trim levels and variations available worldwide.
Australia had it fair share of models with the standouts for me being the Mk1 GT500, Fords first attempt and a successful one at that building a Bathurst homologation vehicle.
Lets not forget the TD XLE either, a full fat luxury barge with a mighty 4.1L thrown in six for good measure.
I'll be firing my TD up on Tuesday for some nostalgia, anyone else care to reminisce?

Well, you may know I had intended to put a 2wd Cossie engine into a TX Gemini coupe. However it somehow went sideways as I realised the Gem was not going to retain much of its originality and a MK2 Escort came up through a Car club acquaintance.
The car was being set up for tarmac use and had already been turreted, partly caged and arched so was heading down the path I wanted to go.
I picked it up in June 2021 and work has been in fits and starts due to other commitments and my health hiccup.
Here it is as bought.
