Twas the night before the Christmas Special, and all the Geoffistas were huddled around the camp fire, frantically scrolling on their phones through eBay, Facebook Marketplace and Autotrader to find a booby prize for the big event. We needed something very cheap, and ideally very awful, but all the happy campers were drawing a blank.Continue reading “2000 Saab 9-3 2.0 Turbo”

The Christmas Special is OVER
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… Toys in every store… Except not Hot Wheels, because apparently they’re all stuck in a container ship offshore, and from what I can tell from the multiple diecast collectors groups that I’m a part of, this is a worldwide problem. Issues that are dramatically affecting humanity aside,Continue reading “The Christmas Special is OVER”
The Definitely Maybe Special is OVER
No sooner than it had began, the Definitely Maybe Special is Champagne SuperOVER. Where were you while we were getting high?! Not in the back of a BMW E39, which is where this one took place.

2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK320
This car popped on to my radar a little while ago when Tash offered it to me via Whatsapp… you might remember Tash who declined the opportunity to own Pablo and instead went and bought a Triumph TT600. Its a rather lovely spec Mercedes-Benz CLK320 although the gearbox isn’t exactly functioning right now. Still, looksContinue reading “2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK320”
