If I was to own a ute, it would need to look like this!

I have seen many model cars in my time, but this is amongst the best.  This "Limited Edition, 50th Anniversary Ford F-Series" is one of 9,500 ever made; that is worldwide!

The quality of this model is not only evident in the detailing, but also the weight; even the cover for the rear tray is metal!

I can only describe it as in absolutely mint condition.  I know this term is thrown about a lot, but I meant it, it is perfect.  Complete with its box and certificate of authenticity this is a must have for any Ford fan.

Manufacturer: Matchbox

Scale: 1:43

Colour: Blue

Price: SOLD

Leif, Noooooo!!!

February may have been the month of love with Valentine's Day on the 14th, but, sadly there was no love at the Tyro Workshop as Leif decided to dispose of the only other Land Rover in my life!

"Mini-me" - my awesome second Landy that came as a surprise with Leif's purchase

As I have been tinkering with Leif and checking out the condition of the chassis, I have removed the front passenger floor plate and transmission tunnel for a better look; eventually I will remove the seat box and rear floors for a better inspection but I will report on that at a later date.

Foolishly, with Leif's battery getting low, I decided to start her up and move her from the back to the front of the Tyro Workshop. As we moved forward, "mini-me" drove off the dashboard, through the open floor and under Leif's wheels - I think she's a write-off -  gutted!

I suppose on the positive I now know what to ask wifey for as a present for my upcoming birthday.

I don't think that is going to buff out :(

Wifey, if you're are reading, hint, HINT!!!

(I don't think that you can get a Series 2A Model)
