10/28/05 UPDATE: Good news from Carousel 1. Our first shipment of the 1972 Indianapolis 500 winning Mark Donohue Sunoco McLaren M16 is scheduled to arrive early next week. This one has a good chance of selling out by the end of the year. $139.95 plus shipping. Order now!
Now that the World Series is over, we'll get back to all racing all the time next week. Lots of new stuff coming. Watch for updates every day next week!
SOLD10/26/05 UPDATE: Those of you who enjoy or collect the prints of English artist Alan Fearnley will be happy to hear that a new series of giclee prints are scheduled for release later this year. (If you happen to be in London today, swing by the Air Gallery in Mayfair to see his latest work.) We hope to have images and other information for you in the next week or two. In the mean time, we've just acquired a copy of one of Fearnley's most desireable limited edition prints: 'Putting the Cat Out' was published in 1988 in a limited edition of 850. Each copy was hand signed by the late Al Holbert, Derek Bell and Hans J. Stuck. The edition has been sold out for more than a decade. SOLD
We're hearing that CMC intends to release their first Ferrari, a 1/18 scale 250 SWB, later this year. Availability will be tight for the Holidays, so we suggest (as always) pre-orders. $199 plus shipping. We hope to post a photo set soon.
10/19/05 UPDATE: ClearView-F1's first Formula One Technical Photo Review is an impressive look at the Williams FW14B at a very reasonable price. Assembled and written by Andy Mathews and Sean Kelly, with a Foreward by Peter Windsor, the book contains a race history and technical analysis along with a breathtaking photo section of Mathews' intensely researched 1/12 model of the Fw14B. First in a series. You're going to want them all, especially if they keep the price at $29.95.

More of today's new Minichamps arrivals will be posted over the weekend between baseball games.
Andy Mathews's new photo book profiling the Williams FW14B is scheduled to arrive next week ($29.95). It's the first in a series of books on historic Grand Prix cars. We're anxious to see it. Order your's today.

NEWS FROM GMP: Georgia Marketing announced this afternoon that they will continue their series of historic 1/12 Ford GT models with the release of the 1967 Sebring winning Ford Mk IV, driven by Bruce McLaren and Mario Andretti. Only 500 are to be produced. We are taking orders now at $499.95. This one, along with their previously announced 289 Cobra in 1/12 scale, is scheduled to arrive in mid December. With the inevitably delays we always see, we can't guarantee that they will arrive in time to put under the tree - but for that ever popular gift to yourself (that arrives around New Years), this one rates high on the list.
Have a great weekend. Go Sox!
10/13/05 UPDATE: We again call your attention to our New Die Cast page as we fill in the new models that arrive almost every day here at TMC with the models that arrived while we were on the road in September. Today, we've added Auto Art's new 1/18 scale Porsche Carrera GTs in silver and black along with their 2005 Ford Mustang and Ford GT in new colors. Yesterday, we added the latest Audi R8s from Minichamps along with a few other items. Tomorrow, we're expecting another shipment from Minichamps, which I hope to have posted by the end of the day.
On the DVD front, a restock of 'Lap of the Gods' ($54.95) arrived today and all back orders have been filled. The first batch sold out so quickly, we weren't able to screen any of the new footage added to the DVD edition that wasn't on VHS. We'll be playing 'Lap of the Gods' on our TV monitor all day Saturday here in the Gallery. We'll post our comments next week.
Also on the DVD front, we are expecting a fresh shipment of the '1970s Formula One Collection' to arrive any time now and all back orders will be filled by early next week. We are accepting new orders for this set for individual years (1970 thru 1980 @ $29.95 each) or the 10 disc boxed set (70 thru 79 for $279.95) for delivery by the end of the month.

Johnny Tipler's latest book 'Ayrton Senna: The Team Lotus Years is now in stock ($69.95). The three years that Ayrton Senna drove for Team Lotus, saw intense conpetition with battles raging between the top four teams (Williams, McLaren, Ferrari and Lotus) and the World Champions - past, present and future - that drove for them. Should be a fascinating read.
