Our Club, the "Calgary Firebird Club", entered 9 cars in the World of Wheels, this year! 7 of us took home plaques! (Me Too! "Best in Class"! for "79 to '84 Restored) This was my first time at an event like this, and aside from the very cold weather, was actually a great time, in the warm event center! Wish I had more photos to share, but my camera was on the fritz. www.calgaryfirebirdclub.com/showandshines.htmlwww.calgaryfirebirdclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2015I am working on some video, which may turn out a lot better....in time!

Good for you! And your club. I have to sign in to see the pictures. Maybe you can post them here, so others may see. George

A bunch of beautiful cars! Thanks for sharing! I have to pick up a bunch of those Pontiac flags/banners myself. Hey, have you gotten Greenlight's new 1/18th scale 1980 Bandit II diecast yet? George

I definitely want one...maybe the pacecar as well. About what are they going for? It might have to wait a bit though. I think by early summer, I could get one for sure. Gotta have the exact diecast of the real one, right?! D.

Most of the prices are around $45.00 to $55.00. The big problem with them, is that both versions have a 4 speed. Seems they used the old Yat Ming version again. Maybe they'll do it again, and get it right the third time. George

The good news is, I did find the 1/18th sacale "Bandit II" from Greenlight! For now it looks good on display, on the dash of my "real one!" It was in our local hobby store (only one!) for $59.00 + tax. So now I need to find the "pace car" edition, as well! *************************************************** Here is a link to our local "show and shine" on Sunday, May 29th!!
