Part 3.. All terrain vehicle.. The MatchBox® Volkswagen 4x4..
This variation also incorporate the new design also..
Even though I like the color and the tampo..

I wish that MatchBox® at least could color it like the one before...

All terrain - Volks 4x4 (Part 2)

noreply@blogger.com (Oneyard) — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 13:55:00 +0000

Part 2 is here.. This design is a new design..
The head-light is a bit different from the previous one...
It looks so much better than the one before..
Another thing that's nice about this variation is;
the head-light and also the tail-light is painted.. :D
Though I didn't like the body color.. I'm not a fan of cyan..

Basic Information

noreply@blogger.com (Oneyard) — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 08:03:00 +0000

Nothing much to do.. No new haul.. Just sharing some basic information that I've found on the internet regarding Hot Wheels™ and the common term that usually used by collectors..

General Info.

Carded - Cars that are still intact in their packaging.
Loose - Cars that are taken out of their packaging.
Waves - Various Hot Wheels cars that you will find hanging in the rack of your local store for a certain period of time.
Mixes - Cars that are available in a certain wave. Each mix technically will have a different assortment of cars. Although, this doesn't determine whether the next wave will be different or the same wave as the previous.
Error Card - car that is packaged on a card with the different name.
Blister - The clear packaging that most of Hot Wheels cars are sold. a.k.a Bubble.
Variation - Generally, a variation is a running change on a car. This could be a wheel change, a change in paint/base/interior/window/tampo colors, or casting differences.
Tampo - term is used here to describe the decoration application on the car.
Mtflk - also known as Metal Flakes is term used to describe metallic paint of a vehicle.

Product Info.

Single - Mainline cars that are sold one by one & are displayed on the racks (see Additional Info for details on mainline cars).
Redline - This refers to Hot Wheels cars that were made between 1968 and 1977. These cars can be identified by a red embossed circle on the face of the tire.
Spectraflame - A term used to describe the bright reflective colors used on some vehicles from 1968 to 1972. The bodies are made from zinc plated metal which is polished and then finished with a transparent paint. This technique allows light to reflect off the body giving it a bright shiny look.
Special Series. Gift Packs - Cars (usually more than 1) that are decorated to meet a certain theme (similar too the mainline Segment Series) & packed in special boxes to be used as gifts for certain occasions. Others - Cars that are fixed on a theme (e.g. Ferrari Racer - only Ferrari cars are released in this series).

Additional Info.

First Editions - Cars that debut on the mainline whether it is based on real-life vehicles or from the imagination of the Hot Wheels designers team.
T-Hunt$/T-Hunts - Consist of 12 cars ever year, 1 released per month (sort of.. ). The cars are specially decorated to attract collectors. In 2007, a two-tiered system was introduced. A T-Hunt also known as Regular T-Hunt will feature normal paint & wheels. While a Thunt($) also known as Super T-Hunt is the same like past T-Hunts (before '07) which feature premium rubber wheels & spectraflame paint.
Track Stars - Cars that are designed exclusively to be raced on Hot Wheels track sets.
Segment Series - Cars that are designed to meet with a certain theme (eg. Heat Fleet - requires the car to be decorated with flame tampos, etc.)

Mr. Muscle Chevelle

noreply@blogger.com (Oneyard) — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 08:40:00 +0000

A bit of history of this powerful muscle:

The Chevrolet Chevelle (pronounced "shevell") is a mid-sized automobile from Chevrolet debuting in 1964. It was produced from 1964 through 1977 and was one of General Motors' most successful cars. 1970 saw the introduction of the most powerful Chevelle SS of all time. Responding to the lifting of GM's ban on engines larger than 400 cid in midsize cars, Chevrolet responded by dropping in a new 454 cubic engine into its Chevelle SS. The entry level 454 was known as the LS5 and packed 360bhp. The top engine choice was the LS6 version with 450bhp. The LS6 had a 800-cfm Holley four barrel on an aluminum manifold, 11.25:1 compression, solid lifters, four-bolt mains, forged steel crank and connecting rods, forged aluminum pistons, and deep-groove accessory pullies. No production engine ever had a higher factory horsepower rating. The standard Chevelle SS 396 continued with its 402 cid engines, although the 325bhp was dropped and the 350bhp version was now standard. Optional on both the 396 and 454 was a new cowl-induction hood, which had a rear facing flapper near the base of the windshield to feed air into the engine. The styling was new with a "vee" front end, functional hood pins, and five-spoke Rallye wheels. This was truly the pinnacle of the Chevelle SS performance.

Production: 53,599
Engines: L34 402 V8 350bhp@5200rpm, 415lb-ft@3400. 402 V8 375bhp@5600rpm, 415lb-ft@3600rpm. LS5 454 V8 360bhp@5400rpm, 500lb-ft@3200rpm. LS6 454 V8 450bhp@5600rpm, 500lb-ft@3600rpm.
Performance: LS6 454/450: 0-60 in 6.1 sec, 1/4 mile in 13.7 sec @ 103mph.

Tuner Series

noreply@blogger.com (Oneyard) — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 04:03:00 +0000

A tuner car, is a sporty looking, economic and practical car that is built for the purpose of daily usage, decent gas mileage and comfort, but has the potential of being a high performance car, which requires engine modifications... Some Tuner manufacturers offer their cars with some modifications installed on them, such as the Subaru Impreza WRX STi that is based on the regular WRX model or Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX which based on Mitsubishi Lancer and many more... Tuners differ sports cars in many different areas such as price, engine displacement, horsepower and many other factors... They also differ typical sedan or SUV import cars; they are lighter, faster and have better handling... Source: Wikipedia

Well.. Here some of my Tuner Car.. Nissan Skyline, Nissan Silvia S15, Nissan 350Z and Honda Civic Si.. Mmm.. a few 3 Nissan and 1 Honda.. Damn I like Nissan very much..

Ol' Skool

noreply@blogger.com (Oneyard) — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 17:41:00 +0000

Here's one of the old skool cars that I like.. 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1..

The Mach 1 started with the fastback "Sports Roof" body and added several visual and performance enhancing items such as matte black hood and optional spoiler, hood pins, chrome gas cap and wheels, chrome exhaust tips (optional), chin spoiler and a 351 Windsor motor as base with either a two barrel or four barrel carburetor. A 390 CI four barrel as well as the huge 428 Cobra Jet were also available engines. Standard on Mach 1s was a fierce but cosmetic hood scoop that had integrated turn-signal lights mounted in the back. A more functional option was the signature "Shaker hood", an air scoop mounted directly to the top of the motor, used to collect fresh air and so named for its tendency to "shake" above the rumbling V-8 below. The interior came complete with teak wood grain details, full sound deadening material and high-back sport bucket seats. The name Mach 1 could not have been more appropriate as in 1969, Performance Buyer's Digest put a new Mach 1 through its paces at Bonneville, breaking some 295 USAC speed and endurance records. Ford kept the Mach 1 alive into 1970 and little changed outside the visual. New Mach 1 specific bucket seats, Magnum 500 wheels, recessed taillights on a black honeycomb rear panel as well as new side and rear badging and striping were the main visual differences. Outselling the base GT model, Ford canceled the GT altogether to make the Mach 1 the primary street performance Mustang. Source: Wikipedia

Morris Mini

noreply@blogger.com (Oneyard) — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 04:00:00 +0000

The Mini is a small car that was produced by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors from 1959 until 2000. The original is considered an icon of the 1960s, and its space-saving front-wheel-drive layout (that allowed 80% of the area of the car's floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage) influenced a generation of car-makers.This distinctive two-door car was designed for BMC by Sir Alec Issigonis. It was manufactured at the Longbridge and Cowley plants in the United Kingdom, the Victoria Park / Zetland British Motor Corporation (Australia) factory in Sydney Australia, and later also in Spain (Authi), Belgium, Chile, Italy, Portugal, South Africa, Uruguay, Venezuela and Yugoslavia. The Mini Mk I had three major UK updates: the Mk II, the Clubman and the Mk III. Within these was a series of variations including an estate car, a pickup truck, a van and the Mini Moke — a jeep-like buggy. The Mini Cooper and Cooper "S" were sportier versions that were successful as rally cars, winning the Monte Carlo Rally three times. Source: Wikipedia

As for the HotWheels that I'm showing below.. I don't know which Mini model is it.. All of the models looks nearly the same.. But I think the model that HotWheels based on is this one; Morris Mini Mk I. Just enjoy the pics and hopefully somebody can help me pointed it out which model is this HotWheels based on..

5th Gen. Chevvy Camaro

noreply@blogger.com (Oneyard) — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 02:20:00 +0000

The return of the Camaro name has been anticipated by enthusiasts since fourth generation production ended in 2002. On 6 January, 2006, the first official word regarding a fifth generation Camaro from General Motors came at the 2006 North American International Auto Show, where the 2006 Camaro Concept was released. The concept car features the same formula the Camaro has also stuck with; 2-doors, 4-passenger, rear-wheel drive, coupe. The Camaro Concept is powered by a 400 hp (298 kW) 6.0 L (366.1 cu in) LS2 V8 with Active Fuel Management and is equipped with the T-56 six-speed manual transmission. Other features include a four-wheel independent suspension system, four-wheel disc brakes with 14 in (356 mm) rotors and four-piston calipers, and 21 in (533 mm) front / 22 in (559 mm) rear wheels covered in huge 275/30/R21 front and 305/30/R22 rear tires. Source: Wikipedia

So far.. This car is one of the solid car that I have.. What I mean by solid are.. the build.. the look.. Everything about this car seems to be solid.. It is a really nice car.. Also before i forgot.. This car also featured in the live-action Transformers movie as a yellow with black stripe Camaro Concept.. (Sadly.. I dont have any yellow Camaro..)

Although the fifth-generation Camaro is not yet being produced, nor has a production version even been shown publicly, the new muscle car is already appearing in different mediums. In the 2007 live-action Transformers movie, the character Bumblebee is portrayed as a yellow 1976 Camaro that, midway through the film, becomes a fifth-generation Camaro. Source: Wikipedia

Fairlady Z - The Supreme Heir

noreply@blogger.com (Oneyard) — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 04:26:00 +0000

Nissan 350Z or Z33 is the is the fifth (and current) generation of Nissan's Z-car line. The 350Z entered production in late 2002 and was sold and marketed as a 2003 model.

The 350Z has been given extensive coverage in the automotive press, and has obtained generally positive reviews. Eddie Alterman, senior editor of Automobile Magazine, said of the 350Z "An outstanding performance value. They got all the important stuff right." While David Swigg of Motor Trend said "With a competent driver at the wheel and the traction control switched off, many Boxster drivers would be hard-pressed to post better lap times than with this Z."

Automotive journalists tend to praise such features as the 350Z's value, performance, handling, and braking. While criticisms tend to be directed towards the grade of interior plastics, greater curb weight than its competitors, cabin ergonomics and engine refinement. However, Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear had mostly negative things to say about the car, giving it a C- or three points out of ten, but later awarded the Nissan Designers with 2004 Top Gear Magazine Car of the year award. Other reviews have criticized reflections of the back strut in the rear windows.

At present, the 350Z has won over 40 international awards from various media and industry sources. Source: Wikipedia
