@ Jon - At least I'll make some money out of them - 3 watchers, any guesses who? I'm guessing Bangers-r-us, Jenny and possible Zoe2301 or something, the other person who makes bad models

I would bid but I got wrong off my mum cos I spent £90 on eBay :lol:
Plus, I think the guy with all those models is a Race Track Replicas reseller, because I can distinctly remember this car being on there:

I looked this morning, and was gobsmacked to see them up to £13 - I'm not surprised you can't bid any higher than that, it's a lot of money to pay for cars with no windows!

Nice to see you've joined the forum as well :)

Weird question, but I don't have my copy of the game handy at the moment. In "Test Drive: Eve of Destruction" ("Driven To Destruction") what's the car you start out with called? The one grandma leaves you? Its a Chevette, but what's the fake name given to it? I remember the Moth's a Gremlin, but this one is escaping my mind.

I agree, that damage looks really realistic especially on the Sierra - don't worry about not being very good on a paintbrush, all you need is patience and you'll get very good at it ;)

Wrong - £22 actually (including P&P)
I think you should just send them off to Tony and refund her money :lol:

Doing all your banger shopping on eBay will add up very quickly- its much cheaper to hit toy shows, boot sales, etc. if at all possible. The shipping will get you every time. :(
