These are definately Tomica copies - they even have a separate roof piece like the Tomica model, only it does not pop up. My cars are displayed in sections, i.e all the Mazdas are in one place and all of the Fords are in another place. I have one of these models in the Mazda section and the other one in the Ford section:

I don't know, it just sounds kinda funny. "Yesterday, wife and I were driving around, we stopped and looked at a Mazda Bongo."

How nice for you!

Bongo was the Japanese name, but it was known as the Friendee here for some reason. Some call it the 'Bongo Friendee'. Don't worry folks, that's as weird as it gets. No more for now :)

Don't Bogart that joint, my friend, pass it over to me...

Tomica called it the Bongo Friendee. That sounds good to me. Roll another one, just like the other one. :blink:
