Dinky 163, is a 1600 TL Fastback from the late 60's. Red with opening hood, doors, and trunk. In the trunk is a clear engine lid, and a chrome engine with some detail. It is the nicest 1:43 I own. It also has nice jewel headlights, and the nicest pressed metal wheels compared to my Marklin blue squareback or the Vistesse Notch with ragtop (these are OK, with body color rims and plastic chrome hubcaps with vw logo), or the plastic norev fastback (which has pretty warped plastic body). I also have a Scala Squareback that has Matchbox type 'superfast' wheels but is 1:43 scale (as all of these are). I do not have a minichamps, since they are available retail. I have tried to stay with the older cars. I suppose I should, as someday they will be also. I would like to see them do a 1:18 Fastback. That might convince me to buy in. That notch sure looks nice! -John 69 Fastbacks x2 __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
