The good- once again, got to love the attention to detail in the accessories, and the fact they're in scale with the car. And the station wagon is of course an appropriate vehicle for such a trip to the store.

The bad- like the garage, these accessories should be detachable. Also, I've never seen a drive through general store. This one should definitely be a scale building with the gas pumps and the rest of the accessories out front.

Your right again on all account Swifty, The first thing I did was relocate the pumps from right up against the bench to right up front, CSA UL Code violation #56-87692 regarding the location of fuel dispensing devices should be located no closer then 25 feet (8m) from existing structures.

The JL Soda pop dispensing machine from the Raod trip series is almost exactly the same size as the one pictured here so it got installed in the garage dio. The Dog from Road trip came with it, although he looks a little wild like for some of the customers. Kinda like a place I stopped at in Maine one year. The dog there was a tad wild looking, I didn't whether to get out of my car or not. Left the door open all the while I was pumping gas. Just in case I had to make a quick getaway.

This dio Rocks also. and the car is excellent, the wood panel are engraved into the casting, so detampoing this baby would just lead to the problem of what to do with the wood grain feel to the zamec. But excellent detail.

Wish the dio's had 4 walls and a roof though.

The Mopars are are stored in the Motormax case and 2 lovely little Bowties now reside in their place, 1 Camaro, 1 Vega, guess where the Vega is?

$7.92 Can. at Wallys

another 2 thumbs up
