I stumbled upon this Youtube channel that's devoted to 1/64 die cast car racing. These videos are well done. They have a Facebook page where folks can submit their cars for each series. This is the type of track we all dreamed we had as kids. Check out this 2019 Championship race [video=https://www.yo...

Summer 1973 my dad was living with us at our first house and planted this clematis...... We moved 33 1/2 years later to our present home and wanted to transplant my dad's clematis.... Everyone said it will die...........so I thought, nothing to lose and dug it up and transplanted it some 15 years ago.....

Some cool stuff coming out for you collectors and model builders. It's too bad the Chevy II wasn't released with parts to build an Acadian. I've emailed the company a couple of times suggesting they come out with a Canadian Muscle series but haven't ever received any sort of reply. [video=https://ww...

I rode one of these many times before getting my drivers licence. These HO scale buses are made by a high end Canadian model train manufacturer called Rapido. They are taking pre-orders for London Transit. I had to order one for nostalgia sake (Route 2 Dundas of course) Excellent detail! [video=htt...

Restoring old die cast toys (Hotwheels, Matchbox, Dinky, Corgi etc) is becoming a popular hobby with many Youtube channels and Facebook pages devoted to it. I thought I'd have a go at doing a simple restomod using two beat up Matchbox trucks. Here's what I started with: The yellow truck was a Dodge s...

I came across this vintage 1975 Hot Wheels "Neet Streeter" that has a factory error. It should have larger rear wheels but was assembled with the smaller front wheels on the back. They are so small the casting drags on the ground. Poor kid that had it must have lost a lot of races with it! Maybe it's worth a...

Just found this site that lists all the LEGO Technic sets ever made. All I can say is it's a good thing I'm not a collector! Some of these sets fetch big money (as I found out when scanning eBay..) http://www.technicopedia.com/
