Title: Diecast Models
Post by: Sporran on 23 October 2005, 18:44: Yes sad i know but i want one for me desk in work.

Does anyone konw a good place for these sorts of things, i found 1 but its white. I remember seeing some on ebay and they were on a plastic VW presentation stand. But the foto looked like it was taken in a dealers place. Not sure though. Emailed the guy to mail me if he gets grey ones but nothing.

The white one is here http://www.alpimodel.com/nrv/840060.html

Preferably after a grey one :)

I'm sure they had all the golfs (even a mk2) I'll have a look tomorrow :kiss:

Here's the 1/20

Post by: Mk1Mad J - 16v on 28 October 2005, 12:48: I've just been to the bank which involves a walk past model zone, so i popped in for a look

they had 3 mk1 cabs in bright yellow @ Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£9.99 (i'm thinking i should have bought these to e-bay)
a 1999 cab but i cant remember the colour @ Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£19.99
a silver mk5 variant (the estate thing) @ Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£19.99
& a red lupo (current model i think) @ Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£19.99

Quite a few bug's & campers but no mk5's apart from the variant, i'll try and get a look in that other shop this evening. :kiss:
