Excuse me? Who the heck are you to tell me what to do? Seriously, what the heck is wrong with you?!

And i probably will win the granadas, rather that than let them get chopped up by some certain members who have a fetish for cutting up granadas.

Anyway, away from granadas, and idiots, who thinks the lomas ambulance (lesney) resembles the ford ambulance raced at firecracker? I might do a model of it.

As Kool-Aid Man would say:
OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT #2: Is this the rarest Ford Escort model ever?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Corgi-Toys-Ford-Esco...1QQcmdZViewItem

Those Grannys are cool ,never seen the one with the Ford tampo on the bonnet

That Avis promo Escort is one I've never seen before, but by no means is it the rarest ever :lol: there was a Mk.6 Escort made by an obscure European company produced in very very limited numbers, you can find them but it's like looking for a needle in a haystack

mk6 escort were????? i URGENTLY want 1 will pay anything for 1 if any1 get's 1 DONT Banger it!!!. will pay good money for it

Please calm down. The entire point of eBay is to outbid people. If you want an item bad enough you will outbid them.

Also, what someone does with the item they win is entirely up to them.

Now if I may have everyone's attention...

I was saving this knowledge until such time as I could have a few finished and ready to show off, but if it will stop the fighting over eBay Granadas, Yat Ming has graciously donated 150 MK II Granada sedans to the board. If you remember, a few weeks back Celica Baby posted a thread asking who still does 1/64 bangers. Everyone who replied to that thread will be getting approximately ten Granadas.

At this time I'd like to give a big thanks to Yat Ming for this donation. Its payment for me heping them out a little by discovering cars that may be of potential interest to them.

For those of you currently doing trades with me, your Granadas will come with the items you're getting from me. For those of you who aren't currently engaged in a transaction with me, I will be PMing you for your contact info at such time as I'm ready to mail them out. Right now I have a lot of cars to sort through (in regards to my trades), and I have plans both this weekend and next so I won't be home to do so.

So everyone keep this in mind: you're getting Granadas. Hopefully this will help keep things in check from here on out. I know ten isn't a lot, but its better than none. And I'm keeping a few in reserve for future members of the board as well, as an FYI.

LOL, nice try! ;)

I'm trying to keep things fair and unbiased, so everyone (including me!) gets the same amount.

And I'll have a pic up shortly...

Wow, that rocks! Are yatming going to be putting granadas in they're 07 range?

Also, i did post in the thread, didnt I?

EDIT: there are 150 granadas but 8 posters, 10 each means there would be 70 left :P

I'm aware of the math- doesn't change my mind about saving them for the future. ;)

And yes you'll get some. :D

And finally, yes, the Granada is in Yat Ming's current catalog of cars. :thumbup:

I don't know where they're available- I've been looking for them here in the USA, but no luck.

As for the stripped ones, no, those are 'in progress' bangers on my end. I had intended on announcing this after they were 100% signwritten and ready for the track, but as for now, the solid colors are pretty nice too.

Looking forward to it, are there any other colours? I know you said they are all like the green one but there might be more :)

Also, I recon a few will go in my collection, or be customized to go in it too :D

Again, they are all exactly like the green one. This is Yat Ming's current production model, but they have done other colors in the past.

And a few pictures compared to a Maisto (blue Cal's Travels) Granada.
