So was the car in the movie 1970 RS1600, or 1974 RS2000? I don't really care, I'm ignorant on the subject. lol
I've been a fan of the Fast & the Furious since the first one. When the first one came out, I was a fan of the ricer trend, saw the film as soon as it came out. Lot of us been fans of the cast from the first Fast & Furious since. For me, especially of Paul Walker. Later on, it was discovered that this down-to-earth actor was a gearhead, also a fan of Skylines. Sounded like someone we could relate to.
By 2013, I saw most new films on either Blu-ray or Netflix. I didn't start paying attention to Fast &Furious 6, or this poster until right around the time he passed away. I don't think the Blu-ray was even out yet.
This movie poster is one of my favorites, all-time(I actually bought one). I'm a fan of cars like the old Alfa Romeo Giulia, Datsun 510/Bluebird, BMW 2002, etc. Mark I Escort in the poster reminded me of those cars. After Paul Walker died, I looked at the poster closely & while I loved it, I also thought it was kinda odd...
It could be my Beatles influence(google Sgt. Peppers album cover conspiracy sometime lol), but I see Paul Walker turned around & looking back. "All roads lead to this", when I saw that, I was thinking "We all die in the end". Also the mentions of the Memorial Day at the bottom corner.
Don't worry, I'm not crazy. It's just something I observed & thought it was lot of coincidences.
So after the longest-winded intro ever, here is the very underwhelming 1/18 scale F&F 6 Ford Escort from GreenLight.
I think I got this for $55 + shipping. I have one other GreenLight in 1/18 scale, and while the theme is kinda exciting, it was the most unimpressive 1/18 diecast ever. This Fast & the Furious Mk1 Escort was no different. It looks well detailed as lot of 1/43 scale cars I've seen, if not worse. I think GreenLight is asking about $20 too much for the level of quality. $30, I'd recommend it. $40 MSRP..... I still may. At least nothing was broken or missing on this one, so I will get them that.
It's on display at my work with AUTOart Ford GT.
I thought little wheelie would be fitting for this little guy. :D
