That's awesome, would be great to have someone like that on board as a sponsor! I don't think we have anyone like that already do we?

Tonight I was given a display case that hangs on the wall, has space inside for 24 Hot Wheels cars in their packaging, will get some photos as soon as its on the wall with some cars inside - probably another week or so with my current roster but stay tuned!

OK that RS is cool, will have to keep an eye out. Ah I have never been interested in hotwheels before but now my 2yo loves them so I have an excuse to stop and have a look.

Got him a F150 SVT Raptor today...hehe
