Hi Y'all,
Have you seen the Johnny Lightning British Invasion (Die-Cast Replicas of
British Classics)? We just heard about them today and went to our local
Longs (of all places) and bought all they had left -- only three!!! But
they should have more
coming in.
They're pretty neat. 'Specially the 1960 Austin-Healey Sprite! :o) The
color could be better, but it is cute. They only have six models out right
now - but I bet if we inundate them with requests they would consider
expanding the line. ;o) Besides the BugEye, they have 1961 MGA 1500 Twin
Cam, 1962 Jaguar E-Type Roadster, 1963 MGB Roadster, 1961 Triumph TR3A,
1967 Sunbeam Alpine.

Listers,
As one of the Morris Minor Mavens in the US, I just got a call from the Hot
Wheels folks who are planing to release a Morris Minor Traveller woody this
year! They needed to know who held the rights on the design and name
(possibly BMW, but I sent them to the UK to check out the consortium that
bought Rover). I asked if it will have a GMC blower stuck through the
bonnet and big wheels on back and he said, "sure, why do you ask?"
