Default A little something I picked up

Bought myself this very tidy Left Hooker.
One of the few problems is that with only seven seats it doesn't fit the family.

BP service stations. This was $20. 1:24 scale. Welly brand.
They also have a red lowlight.
And there are two two-tone splits too, one red/white, the other blue/white.
And there is a black super bug.

There are also the 'matchbox' scale cars too for $2.

The guy did say "these things walk out the door, I only put them on the shelf this morning"

They are actually pretty detailed, I love how the sliding door is a little tough to open and almost sticks at the start just like a real one

The local bp here doesn't stock them and the next closest 200 k's doesn't seem to either
You know how hard it is to get bay window models????
On my last venture to the city I did get a self assemble split though
