I did manage, though, and walked away from BMW’s M-Track Days 2019 (story above) with a MiniGT Honda Civic, hastily purchased from the duty free shops at the KL airport.
Collectibles / 1:18 McLaren F1 GTR by UT Models
Every generation has their decade specific car for the bedroom wall poster. The 80s favoured the Countach with a plethora of bikini clad women. The 90s saw the real king of hypercars emerge: the McLaren F1.
Collectibles / The melancholia of 1:32 scale
Ahh, 1:32 scale. For many of us, our first few steps into die-cast collection was not through 1:64s, but through the much more affordable-per-inch 1:32 scale.

Hyper detailed classic Toyota Carina from Tomica
I received this Tomica Limited Vintage Neo courtesy of Aswad Chowdhury. This is my first Neo after a very long time, having given away my earlier stash ages ago. What's special about this?
Calling all HW modders
Modified Hot Wheels are nothing new, but in the Bangladeshi collectors' scene it is relatively new.
Custom Honda NSX 1:24 kit car from Tamiya
The NSX is the holy grail of Japanese automotive wizardry. Born in the 90's this car is surpassed by power output and electro-gadgetry.
