Great models that look expensive! Few would guess that the orange one is a "cheapy." It looks fantastic. 😏 😏 😏 For those that don't know, "Countach," loosely translated, means "Holy ****!" 😎 😎

What beautiful cars and models ! When I was out in Las Vegas for a convention years ago, there were a couple of places where one could rent such a supercar for a short period of time to experience actually driving around in such an astounding automobile.

Thanks, Chris. For under $20 from Costco, I couldn't pass it up & it displays very well.

These are great-looking supercars and for a terrific low price from Costco or Sam's Club. Those doors are amazing and would work even in a tight parking space at the grocery store !

Costco & Sam's Club are now selling 1/18 Kyosho models? I didn't know that. I'm not a member of either store, but perhaps I should be! 🤔 🤔 🤔

If I have a Lamborghini I'm not going shopping for groceries I'll send out my subordinates.

I think Mike was referring to the new Countach by Maisto, which I did get at Costco through a buddy of mine (I'm not a member either). Neither Sams nor Costco have ever sold Kyoshos.

Yeah, I didn't think so either...but Mike's comment was stated with such conviction and referred directly to your yellow & red Kyosho Lambos. Note being a member, as noted, I thought, "Wow, I'll have to check this out on a guest pass or something!"
Thanks for the clarification, Gavin. Too bad it's not true, right? 🙄 🙄

@gavin Nice period-correct "butternut" color, very cool. 😎 That's quite a large "roll bar" that gets covered by the top. 😯

That would be amazing if it were true. I'd definitely get a membership then! 😉

@chris. Thanks...I do love the somewhat unusual color. On these early Targas, there was a black hard panel that goes over the front part & then a zip in soft window for the back. They're called "Soft-Window Targas" in Porsche circles.
