Red and green typically don’t look good together on ANY car as the colors remind many of the Christmas season. However, this release manages to win in the vintage racing category as it combines a vintage brand in Castrol Motoroil with a vintage rally car in the #’70 Ford […]
Anyone remember this little bugger? As a completionist in 2010, this release drove me crazy as it was the last New Model to be released for that year. To make matters worse, the 2010 mainline had a different numbering system and different series between the domestic and international cases. […]
