Stick’s Redline Garage: The Twin Mill
When you think back on your childhood and playing with Hot Wheels there are a few models that could possibly define that era. We all had the Splittin’ Image, Turbo Fire and the Twin Mill in our black wheel carry case. The Twin Mill really stands out as a true fantasy car, and its always [...]
Fireball Tim’s Wild SEMA Antics
Unfortunately, I was unable to attend SEMA this year, but Fireball Tim is there in full force and capturing some great footage to share with the online community. The best part? Tim accidentally setting off the alarm on a Rolls Royce! Check out this hilarious video packed full of Fireball style! [via youtube.com]
Holiday Diecast Surprises – Part 3
This final part of my Diecast Holiday Surprises series features a piece that was not sent out as a holiday delivery, but coincidentally arrived late enough to make it into the honorable mentions.

Check out these cool pics of some of the cars you can build at their retail locations (think “MUCH COOLER” Bulid-a-Bear workshop!!). Can you believe that Ridemakerz estimates there are over 649,000,000 different combinations of vehicles you can build with the parts [...]
Welly Diecast at SEMA 2008
On the last day of SEMA I managed to stumble across the Welly Diecast booth that was tucked away in an unusual spot in the North hall. Welly is not a brand you’ll find in the standard brick and mortar as they go direct to distributor. However, they are the licensee of over 40 different [...]
