An SUV and a couple of pickups from Anson
The Ford Excursion , Super F350 and the Chevy Silverado don't get that much love from other model makers. But Anson made sure that these great examples of American trucks are immortalized in diecast.

Audi 100 Coupe S by Anson
Lately I am quite surprised at seeing some models in diecast which I had been unaware of. Despite my attempts to read up on cars, both historical and present, once in a while, I am faced with a model I had not heard of before.
The Audi 100 Coupe S shown here, is one of those models. I had never heard of it before until I came across the model which was part of a big model purchase I made recently. In fact there are even quite a few videos in Youtube featuring this model.
The model below is in 1/18 scale.
Enjoy!

Toys I wish I kept - Set 1
The hardest thing for any toy collector to do is to part with his / her toys. But sometimes for one reason or another it must be done and when it is, for some toys its heart wrenching, much like breaking up with a girlfriend.
So even if it pains me, here is a shrine to those heartbreaker toys and this will be a continuing thing on this blog.
Okay - first up is this 1:18 scale 1963 Ford Thunderbird by Anson. This was a beautiful model that was so attractive and was set up in a special place in my office for all of 6 months.
As shown in the photo the model has a lot of features like opening doors, hood and trunk. The color was gorgeous and the photos just dont do it justice.
An uncle of mine had a T-bird before and I remember seeing it in our house a long long time ago when it was not a classic yet heh heh.
If you like to read more about the T-bird, here's a link to a page on Wikipedia
The Muscle Car Club is also an excellent source of info and photos about the T-Bird and other muscle cars.
Might as well enjoy the pain of the loss and post my other heartbreak toy - here is a 1:18 scale Lamborghini Miura.
Sorry I don't remember the manufacturer anymore, its either Maisto or Bburago.
The Miura is a special car to me because it was one of my first cars..... ok ok Matchbox cars.
I desperately wanted to keep this one but fate is cruel and I had to part with this one as well.
The photo above serves to remind me why I loved this model so much ... so this car deserves it place in the Toywizards list of "toys I will buy back some day".
Ever reliable Wikipedia has a page on the Miura
Here you can read about the restoration of a Miura
