Anyone have this 1:18 Ford Capri RS3100 by Werk83?

Personally, I love the story of how this car was built and the tricks manufacturers employed against each other to win (re Ford's rivalry with BMW, at the time).

I'm new to 1:18, and have just one minichamps Porsche gt3, which I think is beautiful. Don't know much about werk83, but for under €80 this model looks so good to me.

Anyone actually have one? Pros/cons?

Auto translate pages on Android?

I have auto translate set to on (Dutch to English French to English, German to English), but the app still asks to translate every page. How to stop this madness?

For example, https://www.belastingdienst.nl where I have to report various tax things for my businesses, the app asked to translate to English for every damn page. It's unbelievably annoying. I just moved from FF and don't want to move back.

How to make translate persistent and without inputs for every page'on a site?

Scam or OK?

Purchased an expensive item on marktplaats. I paid and the seller issued a DHL tag. Several hours later, I got notification that DHL is sending the item back to the seller for "Relabeled for return to sender".

Am I being scammed? Communications are fast and normal. But, this doesn't feel right.

The seller has 5 years, and well over 30 5-star reviews.

What do you recommend?

Bad ebay experience @knick-toys

Was packed in an paper envelope. No protection. Got smashed. Not very smart for a model seller. Shipped quick to The Netherlands. But man did my heart sink when I saw it was and envelope and not a box.

Where do you buy your MiniGTs for the EU market?

edit: Thanks for suggestions. einszu64 will score some of my business in the coming months. fwiw, the car is fine, no damage that I can see. Mirrors are rubber so they're also ok.

Vakantiekaas

Why is this? What does it do differently that yong belegen cannot? Is it impervious to melting in luggage in a plane to the canaries? Does it not dry and mould?

Why, dearest Duchies, why? And what?

*Vakantiekaas: Smeltgevaar aan Zee!*

A slice of cheese upon the beach, Beneath the blazing sun, With sailboats floating within reach, And summer vibes begun!

An umbrella shades the yellow block, Beside the rising tide, While shoppers at the Lidl flock To see what's packed inside.

Oh, Vakantiekaas, how bold and bright, With ocean waves and sand! Though melting in the summer light Was probably not what you planned.

For while we dream of sunny breeze And hot days by the sea, There's nothing quite like holiday cheese That turns to fondue at ninety-three!

This morning's pick ups in Croatia.

The Dart complements my sparkley orange Datsun I got recently. And I've not seen the food truck in the wild before. €1.50 each!

Tarmac collector's guide - shows all releases?

I'm considering joining the Tarmac Club. It includes an annual collector's guide. Does this guide include all releases from Tarmac for the year? Are chases and specials included in the guide? Anything missing or I should know about before joining the Tarmac Club?

Thanks... I am moving away from Hot Wheels to join the big guys... :)
