Rowdy Highgear is nearing the checkered flag

Back in October I presented you with the image below of Rowdy Highgear, the Cars Drive In Gallery Piston Cup racer. Well I’m glad to say he is almost here. I should have a prototype in my hands this weekend and will preview pictures hear at the Drive In Blog. All of the artwork is completed and the cars are in the build process as we speak. There will be 50 regular cars made, 5 chrome chase cars, and 1 black chrome chase car. I’ve had a lot going on lately, working on new things for the site (which is why its behind on many updates), family and work obligations, and surgery on my left arm, which has all kept me behind on a lot. However Rowdy is gonna be here soon so stay on the lookout for updates.

It’s that time again

It’s about that time again for me to renew the hosting on the site. I have gone quite a while without any donations which is fine. The cost to run this site is pretty high. I don’t ask for any member fees or anything. If you could make a donation though, that would help out with the site. Also look for a new giveaway coming soon.

Lots of new stuff going on

OK first off I know I’ve been away for a while. I’ve got a lot of images to get uploaded to update the Drive In. But now on to the good stuff. I’ve seen a ton of pics of new stuff coming and let me tell you it is fantastic!! The KMart days this year are looking very good. I should have some better info on those events soon. I’ve seen several new haulers which are superb. And by far the best new car to come out will be the one and only Tokyo Mater. From what I have seen of it, it’s gonna sell like hot cakes. The Bulldozer for El Materdor looks very promising also. And finally the prototype Rowdy Highgear Drive In Gallery racer is in the works so I should have pics of it soon. All for now. Stay tuned for more.

Flames McQueen

Soon to be finished is a Flames Lightning McQueen I have been working on in what little spare time I have. I’ve been super busy with end of the year stuff at work, projects at home, and have also been sick. I have 2-1/2 weeks off at the end of the year to work around the house and hopefully get the Drive In caught up to date.








Added some more decals over my lunch hour.

Some new CARS coming soon

My good buddy Craig of Craig’s Cars Pitstop sent me some new cars we will be seeing soon. In the pics below you will see Mega Size Bessie, Mater the Greater McQueen with firing rockets, and Antonio Veloce Eccellente. These cars are very nice looking. Antonio has a nice pearlescent paint job. Rockets McQueen is simply outstanding. The detail on the rockets is superb as is the graphics on McQueen. And last but not least is Bessie. There is a lot of diecast in Bessie because she is heavy. I think she still could have been a bit bigger, but she looks great anyway. Enjoy the pics.
