What's your favourite casting ?
Nowadays I see the original Twin Mill as the quintessential Hot Wheel. My first favorite as a kid was a Spectraflame Aqua '68 Custom Firebird. Can't remember what fate befell that one, but it was replaced at some point as my go to by a white, red, and blue Flying Colors '57 T-Bird. Still have that one.
My absolute fave "real" casting would be the WRX MINI Countryman...they only made it one year and in 2 colours...so it's super rare...my fave "fantasy" casting would have to be a tossup between the SurfCrate and the Deora2...so hard to list just 1...
I love 442 casts in general, especially Flat-Out 442/4-4-2-Much, but those are a close 2nd to this: the redline-era Olds 442 cast. It's been updated a few times and even has shown up in the mainline a few times in the last 10 years, which is pretty nuts considering its 50-year heritage. This example is the Neo Classics Mattel Security car.
As a kid, it was the Paddy Wagon. I think I wore out more Paddy Wagons than any other early casting. As an adult, it's the CUL8R FTE...speed and versatility in one package.
I'm always a sucker for the Dixie Challenger. It was one I remember playing with a lot when I was a kid.
But these days, I'll pick up any sort of rally car or JDM. They just make me happy. I was excited when they added the Audi Quattro to the line-up.
- It's been very nice to see the Asada Era bring such excellent well-proportioned and detailed casts to the mainline. I'm waiting for more Group B stuff (like the Peugeot 206 Evo II) and maybe a first-gen DSM to come to the fore. So many great cars waiting to be brought to our micro reality. — Scoupe
Personally, the Lethal Diesel seems to be my current favorite. Low-slung, long wheelbase, no interior .... just plain badass. I can't seem to pass them up (I only have like two dozen of them!) Whenever I look at it, I think that this is what a bunch of insane hot rodders would do if they got their hands on a military HUMMV: chopped, sectioned, raked, slammed, with a monster motor and traditional hot-rod big-n-little wheels.
My childhood fave is the Monza 2+2. When it broke I was crushed. I own a few - one to restore (orange) and 2 to eventually build as racers if/when the right race pops up.
My current fave is this sexy thing:
For me the Ford Escort RS1600, coming from the UK and being of a certain age this was the car for us boy racers. I really like the Hot Wheels muscle cars from 60/70s and my current favourite fantasy is the Jack Hammer, let's be honest I have dozens of favourites.
Really enjoying the community on here and thanks for letting me be a part of it
My Childhood favorite and still is! 1978 Greased Gremlin!
This one is on set in every vid!
Totally without Bias but, as of right now, the Bugatti Chiron is a top favourite. Good speed, better handling, and excellent stability. Things hard to beat.
Way back when, ironically, when I was growing up it was things like the Veyron, the Exotique, the Lamborghini murcialago.
always had a taste for the higher life.
I was also huge into mustangs and tuners growing up. I was a NFS Underground junkie, still am. Hopefully the customs show that off right.
As for today? Aside from the Chiron, I'll take any car that's a good street car. Mustangs, Porsches, Vipers even can be a part of the street scene.
If they're able to be tuned to outrun everyone else, AND the cops...and look good while doing it?
chances are I have it, or want it, somewhere in my garage.
Party Wagon!
