A couple of eco-friendly little cars

The final pair of purchases from last Sunday's Toy Fair.  Ridiculous, obscene but irresistible - at least in 1:32 scale - it's the Hummer H2.  I know someone who has one - he sold his Lotus Elan before buying it, but I am still talking to him.

The first car is the Hummer Baja that competes in desert rallies.

This model by Ninco is genuine four-wheel drive with independent suspension on each wheel.  Here's the real car competing in the "Best in the Desert" Terrible's 250 in Nevada in 2008.

The second version isn't quite so suitable for off-roading.  Despite the Gulf livery, this is for posing not racing.

As well as the nice paint job and bling wheels, this even has scissor doors, as you can see in this photo of the real car (non-functional in the model).

These cars are great fun to race despite their size.  They do clip each other's wing mirrors on the way round but I don't expect that will be a problem for long.
