[DIECAST] Corgi Review: Lotus Evora S Special Edition

Hi Guys,


Today we are looking at a Corgi Diecast model. It is also slightly different to what we look at normally because the this model is road car as apposed to the Racing and Formula 1 models I review on this blog. 

Corgi Toys are owned by Hornby who also own Scalextric as well as Airfix. This is worth bearing in mind, because when you see Scalextric produce a new car, like when they started producing Lotus models, such as the Evora and Exige, you may see the other brands owned by Hornby to start producing them also. 

With Lotus both Corgi and Scalextric made Lotus models. Other cars this has happened too are the Jaguar XKR (Airfix, Scalextric and Corgi) and Aston Martin. (Airfix, Scalextric and Corgi). 

[SLOT CAR] Scalextric 2016 Range

Hi Guys,

Today I will be taking a quick look at the new range of Scalextric cars due to be released throughout 2016. I have to admit I have been more interested in my Diecast models and wasn't expecting much from Scalextric in 2016 BUT..... they are releasing some very nice models that have caught my eye.

This post will be looking at the solo cars that are due to be released and the ones I am most interested in.

[DIECAST] 2015 Formula 1 Cars that should be made.

Hi Guys,

Today we have a slightly different post. I like to speculate about certain F1 cars that should be produced. I love collecting Formula 1 diecast models and I also really appreciate that Minichamps and other Diecast/Resin brands make cars from certain races.

This post will be about some cars that performed rather well during the 2015 season and in my opinion deserve a model to be made. I also like that these extra models tend to be limited editions and 1:43 scale.

Hi Guys,

Its another Diecast Review and this model is the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team F1 W05 driven by Nico Rosberg. 

As a majority of 2015 F1 cars are now avaliable from Minichamps it is good to take a look at the car that has become the new leader on the grid.

This is the Australian GP livery that Nico Rosberg took victory in back in 2014.

[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Force India VJM07 S.Perez Podium

Hi Guys

Today I thought I would review my final Force India model. Of course I will be getting the VJM08 when that comes out, and I am still hoping for a Russian GP Podium VJM08B. Hopefully that to wopuld be limited edition like this model. It's also looking like Force India won't be Force India next year with a possible name change to Aston Martin Racing which I am not happy about really.

[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Sauber C31 S.Perez 1st Podium

Hi Guys

Today I am reviewing a very special car. With the Mexican GP back on the calendar and with Sergio Perez already scoring a Podium in the 2015 season. I thought I would review a car that has been on my wish list. I have been fortunate to be able to get my hands on one as well. This review is the Sauber C31 and it is the exact model of the car Perez scored his first Podium in Malaysia in 2012.

[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Red Bull RB9 Bahrain Winner 2013 (S.Vettel)

Hi Guys,

Today I have a brand new Minichamps model. Which has been kindly donated to me by Mcslots. It's the Infiniti Red Bull RB9 driven by Sebastian Vettel. It is the car that he won the 2013 Bahrain GP. It's great to see that Minichamps produce cars from specific races because it gives fans options in which cars to get. Minichamps tend to make cars that have performed well at races if they don't intend to produce limited version.
