Happy New Year from Gee's Garage.

Happy new year you guys, to those who has been visiting this sit for the last 10 months and found this site dead: I'm sorry! I decided to take a year's break away from Hot Wheels collecting and customizing since I lack time due to commitments. Also, I felt that I was a bit burned out on ideas and the 2010 line of cars weren't really exciting to me. I guess that happens when I don't pace yourself in collecting, and see too much of the cars.

Anyway, this year I hope to be able to bring more customizations and share more of my collections here. I have a new column in the works as well, I'll trial it out and see how it goes from there.

I have been shopping the past few days and got myself up to speed with the latest cars and got those that I missed out last year. A lot of places are having sales for these basic cars over here in Australia, with Big W selling AU$1 for one basic car (this equates to RM3.15) and Crazy Clark selling AU$1.60 per basic car (equivalent to RM5). So I got a couple for collection and another few to be ripped apart later for customizations.



That's all from me for now. Happy new years to everyone, and especially those who still visits!

Cheers,
Eugene.

Collection: Hot Wheels '65 Volkswagen Fastback & Volkswagen Drag Truck

Sorry for the long hiatus! I have been busy moving house and settling down in my new home. I just recently got internet (hurray!) and I'm able to update a little more on my collection.



I have previously blogged about my VW Fastback collection and I am happy to have included another VW Fastback for 2009. It is from the Hot Wheels Garage Series, under Phil's Garage. Designed by Phil Riehlman, this car also sports the new 5-spoke rims which can be found in the 288 GTO and super TH Chevy Camaro.


The other one as per title is the VW Drag Truck. A definite favourite amongst collectors, due to its weight and funky design. It is quite good amongst customizers too, since there is a lot of space to work with. Despite debuting only in 2004, it has already been reproduced under the RLC Club Car, Japan Custom Show Car, made it to Mail-In Offers twice just to name a few.
