“Two wagons in the hand are better than two wagons on the pegs. - Ancient LaLD Proverb

Springfield, VA. - A Florida Man reportedly participating in a yearly celebration of gift giving caused some serious consternation this weekend. The pair of cars he sent were so good that the recipient’s mind was literally blown.

Since we’re going all Buzzfeed on LaLD today, I had to take advantage of all that clickbait and get my 2018 top-10 in as well!

For being such a famous race, I had a surprisingly hard time finding details on the route, duration, etc. of the 1969 Monte Carlo Rally.

In the name of doing way too many projects, I took on one that I couldn’t refuse, for a pretty big client: a daily driver Porsche 356B.

Redbubble has a 25% off sale today with code “GET25TODAY” so if you were on the fence about getting some sweet, sweet LaLD threads, today’s your chance to make that leap into awesomeness!

Small. Silver. Speedster.

Thanks to some Instagram knowledge bombs I was able to fix the bent wing on the Mazda 787b in literally 30 seconds.

For 1:43 models I try (really hard) to stick to Porsche race cars. I have a quest to fulfill (at least one model of every type of Porsche race car), and I need to stay on track to do it. But sometimes an exception comes along that you can’t ignore. And that exception this time took the form of the Typ 356/1, the…

I threw some new tips on the Audi RS6 last night, and I thought I’d pass those tips on to you guys, too.

I don’t know if anyone was aware (I wasn’t, until an article came across my google news feed) that Make: Magazine is holding a custom hot wheels contest, but they are, and you have until November 30th to submit a build.

I got this as a killer RAOK from Plasticprints a while ago but haven’t gotten around to posting it yet. It. Is. Amazing.

Espresso and fried eggs. Hashtag 996, hashtag team 1:18.

It’s Friday during LaLD Rennsport Week. This leaves me no option but to bring out the big boys. On top of that, the new Porsche 935 was just unveiled today. So what better car to show than my own pair of 935s?

I got this Tonka Dakar Porsche from Vdubyajohn a while back, and what better setting to show it in than on a rainy ORAT mission?

Okay guys, I hope you are ready for a long one. I tallied up all the 356 coupes in my collection last night and came to 26. This includes the stock ones, ones I’ve customized myself, and ones others have customized for me. This does not include the 8 or 9 I’ve customized and sent to new and loving homes. But suffice…

Sorry guys, just three photos today for the Tuesday LaLD Rennsport as I didn’t have time yesterday, but see it as a preview to tomorrow’s post. :D

For every theme week I usually recycle models I already have, but I also try to acquire at least one new model to show off that fits the theme. For LaLD Rennsport Reunion that new addition is the car that was my favorite out of all the magic shown off at Luftgekühlt 5: the 1973 Sunoco blue 911 RSR driven at the 1973…

Logically, it’s no surprise that 917 day and 918 day are followed by 919 day. And thanks to the amazing Spark 1/64 models they cutely dubbed “Sparky,” I have something to show!

What a great month this is. Next week Porsche Rennsport week, and this week we have three of the most extreme Porsches as well, the 917, 918, and 919.
