Today, my Autocult Wikov arrived from Dave, the Toy Car Geek. I’m getting closer to completing my current holy grails. Look how happy I am!
Anybody wanna help me finish my list by pointing me to a GLM Duesenberg Queen of Diamonds? There’s one on eBay currently “discounted” to $399. He is not taking offers because he’s convinced he can get that price despite the fact it’s been sitting there for months.
P.S. I just realized that Swan is peeking in the corner. John K, I swear I’m not trying to torment you!

I trust this "Happy Randy" picture was taken before today's discovery of his next holy grail, "The One Horse Trabant" in 1:43.

@jack-dodds I don’t know what that is but I’m intrigued!

@randyrusk I couldn't find a picture online, but I seem to recall Vitesse made a horse-drawn Trabant a couple decades ago. Trabants, having a duraplast body, could become quite light with the motor removed. It's not unreasonable that clapped-out Trabies would end up being pulled by an old nag in the former East Germany.

@jack-dodds Actually I have a Rio (or maybe it’s a Brumm) with a mule pulling a VW Bug shell.

That VW is nice I'm sure Randy....but this is the legendary Demi-Trabant Super Sport made by our own Graeme OGG!

You guys were driving me crazy - finally found it! Vitesse... I remember thinking about buying it at the time, but decided it was too hokey!

Well...I'm beginning to hate Randy! First, it's the EMC Swan Car. Now he finds this "so-called" grail and has enough nerve to show everybody. GRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Er...I mean..."That's nice. Congrats! How lovely" 🙄
