Rarer than a Bleu Cheese find!
Dear All,
I trust that you all enjoyed the weekend!
I just got back from a recent business trip, which took me to my old home of Japan, where naturally i would go searching for my favourite Blue car models.
Boy, did i make a Super catch this time round!
I'd like to share with you all both of the models, but 1st we start with the one that is the more common one.
Presenting, the Toyota 86 in Galaxy Blue Silica!
FINALLY! THis guy's out!
And now, here's the one that is REALLY rare, because of the fact that in reality, this car exists only in Red, and since it's a one-off ( the real car i mean), that means that this model helps me to visualise how the same car would look like if I was the one purchasing it, and had the power to tell Lamborghini to paint it so. Thus, in reality though this model in this colour does NOT exist, this is a very good physical representation of how it would actually be. I think our friend Luc would be loving this very much!
JUST LOOK AT THAT!
In this model, those seats are made of Plastic, in reality, they are probably the biggest forged carbon objects in the world. I wonder how many AP ROO cases can be crafted out of those 2 seats?
More carbon goodness!
Hexagonal quadruple exhausts! Far out!
As if you have not yet have enough of Carbon Fibre goodness, more for you all over the dash!
& Now, the obligatory side profile view. Wouldn't you like to have a ride in that? And anyways, who ever said that fast cars needed to be Red?! ( Referring to a speech made by a science student during my high school days, who said that ALL fast cars are Red, yeah right mate) Sorry mate, go do your physics, the hotter something gets, the more Blue it becomes! ( I am serious about this one, let's take the stars as our example. In the classification of stars based on their temperature, the hottest stars with a surface temperature of over 33,000 K are Blue [ O Class], while stars such as our sun, which is a G Class star, is ONLY at a relatively cool 5,200 ~ 6,000 K and is yellow, while Stars that have the colour Red is EVEN cooler, at a mere 2,000~3,700K)
Therefore , it's aint me saying that Blue is the best, even the heavens say so!
Thus, we should adopt the saying, GO BLUE!
Hope you all enjoyed this one!
Tschuss

Here in Nuremberg we celebrate a "Blue Night" each year!
Hi Stephen, I hope you are still enjoying your new toy cars in blue! In the city in Germany where I live there is celebrated a so-called "Blaue Nacht" each year in May. Obviously the ancient city center is illuminated with blue lights which gives a specia...
I definitely didnt know that!
And this being coming from my most favourite country in the world! Thanks for this, i will definitely have a look into it! I love the German, Blaue Nacht Jah! Das is Wunderbar! Danke schoen! Stephen
Hi Stephen,
As a man who loves Blue, you should visit us in Lapland. From next month till the end of January, there is no daylight. The sun stays a little bit below the horizon and the only light is blue. Everything will be surrounded by snow and the snow also looks ...
I have been to Finland once before
Unfortunately was limited only to Helsinki, and not into the "real" Lapland as i understand the definition of it. That sounds beautiful, and would definitely be a once in a lifetime experience for me, should i ever be fortunate to go there again! Thanks! ...
You are always welcome!
Helsinki is a smallish European city. Lapland is the area north of the Polar Circle so there is very little in common with these two places. Lapland (in the Finnish side) is much larger that i.e. Belgium but with something like 20,000 inhabitants. The lan...
The Auroras
I once saw them on a flight from Frankfurt to Boston, and they were magical! Would love to see them, in the nature hopefully! Thanks! Stephen
Hello Stephen, it has been a long time....
As a matter of fact, i do have the blue Aventador Jota as i have all the Look Smart and MR models, I am a fan ( and friend) of Egidio Reali' s miniatures. As I do not have any more time to go shopping , he is kind enough to send me all his novelties. You ...
Ciao!
Ciao Luc! Always good to hear from you! And with your current new position, i can only imagine how busy you must be! Same here too. Yes you have mentioned to me before about your relationship with MR, and lucky you indeed! I wish i could have all too, but...
Hello Stephen, i am actually meeting Egidio on thursday, i want him to make all the ...
Bentley historic models. The MR and Looksmart models are made from the same tooling. Only difference is that the looksmart are produced in China due to the greater volumes ( still limited) but also to make them more affordable. The MR are produced in ital...
Thanks for the insight luc
I definitely did not know that about the models not being simple scaled down. I had always thought they would be more real that way. Indeed the MR Models are so much better, but as you said not exactly healthy for the wallet, therefore i am limited to buy...
re: find
Cool addition to the collection Stephen. Have you ever gotten into building your won model cars? Way back when, companies like Revell had aiplanes, heli's, and of course cars. It was always fun building and painting it yourself. Some were glue together an...
I guess im just not that skillful
Thanks Ming! Well, i did try myself with Gundams back then, but that's probably as far as i went! Im not that good with my hands, so i often just marvel at the shops, but when it comes to actual purchase, i think i'll leave it to the pros ;) Tschuss Steph...
