Paul Robson does all my one off decals
Not cheap so you might aswell get a few sets made for the price it costs to do one set

That was true
I was at Lurgan Park on the day but I was setting the start finish ramp up with a mate and missed out on it.

It's better than the old Onyx BTCC models in terms of build quality. Maybe not as accurate as a Spark or a Minichamps in terms of the ride height and the interior, but at that price, I'm sure somebody like yourself could modify it to your satisfaction. :)

any good close up pics from the side of the model

edit
found pics now

Both MTECH and Ebbro make Lexus models which would be good for base cars

Has anyone ordered stuff through Oxford Diecast? I ordered and paid for a TOC Vectra and today I received a credit note with no explanation or anything? Any ideas anyone (no-one is answering the phone at Oxford!)

Had the same thing this morning, the Gio and Neal cars arrived, but a credit note for the TOC Vectra. I presume they will send it when it's available. Bit annoying as I ordered them on the day they went on sale :(
23rd August 2008, 22:13

bummer..... now are these the same cars that VX are selling at the circuit? If so I'll bag one of theirs and I'll go for a refund.
23rd August 2008, 22:23
Iain

They did have problems with the 2007 Vectra in that demand outstripped supply at first, so there were delays. Maybe it's happened again. It's the same car being sold at the VXR outlet.
24th August 2008, 07:58
Les

nice to see that the TOC car is the most popular :)
24th August 2008, 22:17

I would have put my money on the Gio car being most popular but there you go...
25th August 2008, 19:43

I hope it isn't that they've cancelled the TOC car. :( It does seem as bit odd that no one has recieved any.
25th August 2008, 22:04
Les

well Paul O-C said he saw some so I bet he bought one or two... just hope he left some for the rest of us ;)

No there not. But the site they give you a link to to subscribe doesn't work and when you phone up they don't seem to know anything about it :confused:
