Pre-Order Mike Zarnock’s New Ultimate Guide to Hot Wheels Variations, 4th Edition
Back in January I shared the new cover design for the all new 4th edition of Mike Zarnock’s Hot Wheels Variations, The Ultimate Guide.

Stick’s Redline Garage: Hairy Hauler

Stick’s Redline Garage: Peeping Bomb
One of my favorite casting to come out of the 70’s era release has to be the Peeping Bomb which was designed by Howard Rees. I love it’s off the wall concept.
