This is the UT Models Porsche 993 Turbo. Even if you’ve only clicked on LaLD once in your lifetime, you know that these old, now defunct brand is one of our all-time favorites here among Team 1/18. They were AutoArt before AutoArt was cool.
This right here has to be my favorite modern Porsche. I be always liked the 997 generation better than the current 991, and this limited edition is everything I could ever want in a 911.
Our final event of the year celebrating Porsches of all shapes and sizes. We’re going to be posting Porsches all week long, comminating with the big celebration at Laguna Seca later this week.
On this episode the guys welcome Cody Belichesky. Cody is a contributor to the Live and Let Diecast blog, a student at Cal State Channel Islands, and an aspiring car designer. We even briefly discuss Nobel Laureate Albert Camus and the Facel Vega. This is a high-class podcast after all.
Post all the Porsches beginning Sunday, September 23rd. Winners will be selected for every scale based on number of Kinja saves
I said I was done buying models for the year, but when eBay is hot, it’s hot! Here’s one of several classic diecast models I’ve been able to hit the jackpot on. September has been a very good month to me, and we’re only ten days in...
Remember, LaLD’s September event starts Sunday the 23rd and runs all the way through the 30th. We’ll be celebrating with posting Porsche models all week with honors and accolades after. Posts with the most “saves” will determine the winners.
Wayyyyy back at the beginning of Spring, eBay issued and unprecedented 20% off site-wide coupon that you could use on any thing you please. Not some garbage you’d never want from a short list of specific sellers, SITE WIDE! I decided to take full advantage and splurge on a pricey piece. Enter the Minichamps Bugatti…
Tarmac Works just announced via Instagram that they’ve got 5 new 1/64 scale and one new 1/43 scale models. Tarmac has been gaining popularity around LaLD so I figured I would share. That RWB looks siiiiiiiiiiiiick!
Here’s a cheap ebay score from a couple weeks ago: the Hot Wheels Ferrari 612 Scaglietti. A handsome car, but certainly not a head turner even by Ferrari’s standards. It’s one of those Ferrari’s that looks wayyyyy better in any color but red.
Here’s one I didn’t get a chance to share earlier last month for our Running of the Bulls event: the Diablo GTR. It wouldn’t be fair to try to compare this to Androoo’s AutoArt. Mine’s not going to have actual latches on the hood and real mesh and highly detailed tires. Mine only cost me $30, so of course it won’t.
Time to let some of these bad boys go... I feel like I’m reaching hoarder status. All prices are open to offers too!
Not going to lie, the blog was pretty slow over the past couple weeks. Most of us have been pretty busy this summer. I wasn’t able to share as many pics as I usually do, but this gives me to opportunity to showcase the best pics from the entire month rather than just one slow week...
In case you haven’t heard yet, I’m meeting up with Philiphilip down at Road Atlanta this weekend for Radwood at GridLife South! We’ll be obnoxiously covering the event both here and on Instagram.
After dropping the ball hard with the last event, I’m looking forward to September’s theme: Rennsport Reunion!
Times running out. I’ve got the pics done but not my words...
Most of us have LaLDer’s have spouses and partners who are supportive of our little hobby. Some of them have nerdy hobbies of their own. My wife, for instance, likes to crochet hats, sew her own handbags, and make beaded bracelets. In the Venn Diagram of our two hobbies, you’ll find photography right in the middle of…
I blame the Reventon for a lot of things; mainly for ruining the silky smooth lines of the Murecielago and Gallardo after it inspired their facelift designs. Another thing it brought about was an onslaught of super-limited, million dollar “special edition” Lamborghini’s. After the Reventon, we got the Sesto Elemento,…
The serious lack of cheap Maistos sn210 posts this week is embarrassing, here’s a little something for ya...
First up of my many, many $15 Maistos to share this week is the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera. The marque from Sant’Agata was a one-trick pony for forever and a day, stretching all the way back to the Countach era. However, shortly after being aquired by VAG, Lamborghini was selling two models in the new millennium…
