![]() Today's car of the day is Zylmex's 1990 Lamborghini Diablo. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Diablo ![]() As you can see, this is not a great release. And yet, this same casting was given new life by MotorMax, fancier wheels, and has been used in their higher end series of supercars. ![]()

Support your local demo derby.

This has alot of problems with it from the paint job to the rear wheel wells being way off among other things. Zylmex had some really great and unique things back in the day, this isn't one of them. The brand is a good one of the indies, but not this casting. |

I promised you it would make COTD sooner or later. Just turned out to be sooner rather than later! ![]() Bangerkid was going to crush it... I saved it and gave him something more suitable for crushing.

These have to be the funniest two comments I've read all week. LOL! ![]() Craptacular or not, it's still a Zylmex and deserves better than to be squashed. And it beats the Summer I sacrificed for it.

LOL! I told you Swifty, people would want to see it crushed! , James, and James_Autos, I walked up to Swifty at the show and I was happy to find it for 1 doller, so I said " This is going to the vise!", but Swifty had other plans for it :), at least it has a home :P, on the other hand, the summer ones he traded with me were in way worse of a state, so they were crushed, hehehe

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
Oh, man!! The guys are brutal again! Surely the rear wells don't actually look like this? This looks like a batting practice casting. Or, just add it to the end of a monster truck jump line. |
