Mike, lets get that Gladiator restored.

oh wow I had no idea you car restoration existed as a hobby. You learn something everyday.

There is also a video for this Vauxhall Wagon

The Dodge Charger was one of my favs. It seemed to kick ass more on the racetracks and stuff.

I remember thinking as a kid, why are so many of the cars on fire?

But, at least I had a fire truck to put them out.

The fire truck was always a difficult one, because I had to remove a section to give the thing two spaces in my storage box.
Remember the tire cases? This is a new one, but I remember these only held a few...

Yeh, I was less into the racetracks and stuff which were more popular out after I was older. I was more into firing them out of a slingshot and using plywood as ramps to see how far I could get them to jump. That is... when I wasn't putting the ones on fire out, or playing Smokey and the Bandit, Convoy, or... the best TV show ever...
