Plus I think I have that Beemer...
P.S. I sorted all the cars that I badly bangered and most of them are worth bangering! :thumbup:

By sunday though all the water was pumped away, it was only cancelled because so many roads leading to the arena were closed due to the flooding, otherwise it would have gone ahead

do you lot think it worth £20?

One word: no.

Reasons:

No interior or rollcage

Signwriting looks OK, but photos could be clearer

Also, by 'model valued at £20' means he either bought it new or off ebay as it's a limited edition model. I have an aversion to bangering limited edition models, I have a Vanguards Granada which is one of 5600, which I'm not bangering. The one Vanguards Granny I have bangered was a decertified one

Yeah, all models which are close to 3 inches long are generally 1/64, you rarely find models which are exactly 1/64 in scale but it 1/64 is the generally accepted scale of models whic are approximately 3 inches long, discounting of course buses and trucks
