Elite Transporter: Evo X

I dont have much car transporter in my collection. The one i like most so far is the '63 VW Bus Pickup from Jada ..the one from MBX real working rigs series is interesting too but the price is not appealing. Lastly i went with this simply because it also comes with an Evo X!

The Transporter with Evo X

The appeals of this car are the low ride and the decals..

detailing wise are good too though i don't really like the painting on the front lights.

i think it looks funny.

Another minus for me is the deep offset of the wheels and that the front wheels are really thin!

but it looks ok if you are not looking at it at this view..heh

The transporter also has good decal design and detailing on it. 

The flatbed is wide and able to accommodate most if not all 1/64 cars i have from any other brands.

It can be tilted to imitate real working rigs too.   

Comparison with other Evo X casting from Tomica Limited and Hot Wheels, 

I think you can tell which is which from the pictures..heheh

To me, all have their own strength and weakness in terms of looking awesome 

but overall i think tomica limited still the best as it looks closest to the real thing.

So in the end, it depends on the collector's preferences, some will just buy from certain brand, some will buy the most accurate and best and some will just collect any Evo X casting out there. Well, this one is still a good addition for me.

Tomica Limited #0120 : Lancer EX2000 Turbo

This TL was out last July. For some reason the stock on this one is quite low locally
so i guess i was quite fortunate to be able to grab it.
This EX2000 is popular because of its involvement in the 1982 Rally of the 1000 lakes in Finland,
where it achieved 3rd place. Also it earned the reputation of Europe fastest available 2WD drive production car in the 2-litre category in 1981.
With its powerful engine and well-balanced handling, the EX went on to become a proud successor to the first Lancer. The achievement it had in the past surely make the die-cast be in any Lancer fan wanted list.







Another reason why i like this car is because of its similarities with Proton's 1st generation Saga,
which was out in 1985, and stay in production till 2008! very long indeed.



Even though actually the Saga was based on the 4th generation Lancer,
i think it looks more like the EX2000..good car it was. :)
