thanks for the pic Wyatt..seems this casting is popular



why RW you look like you have at least a couple that dont sit well with the others..I mean those 2 with the white tires kinda throws the whole collection off. rolleyes.gif so maybe you should send them to me and I could place them in an area that you wouldnt have to look at them everyday rolleyes.gif

An outstanding casting, and proof that JL doesn't need to be about muscle cars (or even American cars) all the time to be successful. What a refreshing notion!

Agreed 100%. I was one of many who looked forward to this casting when we got word of it's possible introduction. I always loved my old Tomica versions and this one is done even better.

Another great one Wyatt thumbsup.gif . I also like this casting. JL/RC2 did a great job on the Land Cruiser thumbsup.gif . My favorite use to be the top off blue version from WC/T&SUV's rel 3. That was until the latest one with the spare tire on the hood.

These are the type of vehicles i tend to collect. Cars and trucks that everyone automatically knows what it is and aren't mistaken for any other vehicle. I found the turquise one at tru, bought the silver one from Russ, and just got that blue open back one from Bobby.

Much praise must be given to the JL design team and the product manager for having the foresight to first design and then produce this casting.
This particular casting appears to have been well received by the JL collector community.
I am happy to have several examples of this casting in my personal collection.
A few examples are shown below.

Thanks Wyatt for selecting this particular casting for the Picture Of The Week.

And everytime I see or look at this casting, I think of RoadWarrior.
This is one JL casting that I will always associate with him.

Thanks JL for making this wonderful casting.

Cheers. Cobra
