New Cars

DiecastRacingNews Saturday, 6/21/2025

I bought the Chevy Nova the other day and then last night my father in law gave me the 1968 Mustang and the Jaguar XJ-S (Jaguar is Corgi, not Hot Wheels).

Then, whilst in town today I picked up the bulk photo of Hot Wheels cars for under £10.

I call this a good 2 days of obtaining cars.


Discussion

Very nice!! I especially like the blue mustang!


As I add the cars, I have been weighing them straight out the box/or purchased no box, with no modifications. The GT ones mainly for the Gauntlet GT Series next year.


  • Good idea. I take a piece of tape after weighing and put it on the bottom of the car with the weight on it. — SpyDude
  • I like that idea — DiecastRacingNews
  • Funnily enough I just bought a hw jaguar xjs on Ebay for £2.76, hoping it's reasonable condition though it's nearly same age as me,also looking at a toyota mr2 — RalphsRacers
  • The '67 & '68 Mustangs are regarded as Muscle Cars here in the US, just a heads up. — BadWoolRacing
  • Hi BadWool, 100%, that was just my typing error and filter problem. Corrected. — DiecastRacingNews

I like the GR86. I actually have a more beat up version of the mustang.

Happy Hunting!!!


  • We go again today at a boot fair, see if I can find some more gems. — DiecastRacingNews

The garage has increased.

I picked these up yesterday.

Top Row: Hot Wheels Sharkruiser, Hot Wheels Rollin' Cage & Toyota Hilux Revo (this is a Majorette, not a Hot Wheels, I have a few Majorette's now).

Second Row: Mazda RX-7 '95, VW Beetle, Porsche 911 GT2 & Nissan Skyline '71.

Front Row: Dodge Viper SRT ACR & Lamborghini Sian FXP 37

Now sitting at 80 cars in the garage.

And last week I picked these up:

Ford GT40, Mercedes-AMG GT R (Majorette), Alpine A110 R (Majorette) & Stingray Convertible '71


  • Good haul — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
  • That Corvette on the right, there's a feature where if you shine a torch through a dark spot on the base then the headlights shine — Chris_Hood
  • Well, I did not know this. — DiecastRacingNews

Wishing continued good hunting! 10 quid well spent in that one photo 

Every time I see short cards the question arises as to why this isn't the global standard for mainlines. Less packing material, more cars in the same retail footprint! Wins for everyone there


  • Easier to fit a short card in a pocket? Large card is a theft deterrent......? — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
  • Since I've seen some extreme antitheft on mainlines at dollar store chains, card size in the States doesn't have an impact I'd say — Chris_Hood
