Disney Pixar CARS 2: More Diecasts to Add to Your WANT List
For better or worse, other than the Double Decker Bus, none of these are scheduled for the initial wave of releases but you might as well convert your 401k to cash money now for liquidity and an easier transaction at the register down the line.
Say hello to the Brits!
The Queen … Good luck making that crown tiara …
And the Prince … Wheel.I.Am (or that’s how I’m pronouncing it)
Bentley must be Ransburg. 🙂
Since Topper has different decorations (as well as numbering)Â from “Double Decker Bus” – perhaps we will see a variety of releases? They’ll be like Pitty’s from CARS 1. :-0 … ok, probably not but one can dream …
And speaking of a fleet …
What’s the make of the London cabs now?
But of course, this will be the new Frank or Chuy … I think we need a full flanking regiment batallion of these … or an exclusive with real mohair-horse hair … right?
One of the great British cars of all time, the Land Rover jeep-Defender …
You can download icons or wallpapers of these at the official Disney CARS site HERE.
And all the Mater Tall Toons shorts are up now on the site also so if you didn’t buy the DVD and or want to use some office bandwidth … and or watch all the trailers again.
So, in case you need something to do this summer, this might be good!
(this poster is also useful in figuring how Finn propels himself through the water …).

Anyone interested in London buses might be interested in checking the links below. There is a fleet of Double Decker buses in operation at the University of California at Davis in Northern California (just outside of Sacramento) . It’s the largest fleet of such buses in operation in the U.S. and, in certain respects, it even surpasses London itself! The fleet is operated by UCD students and provides service to both the university and the city of Davis! Davis, by the way, is often considered the bicycle capital of America because most of the students who attend UCD as well as the general populace of Davis rely heavily on bicycles for local transportation. An interesting mix!

I love those!! They look AMAZING!!

check out the london eye, it finished off as a retro wire wheel a la etype, mg etc
Sooooo Beautiful!!! Who could ever have doubted that this line would not improve!!!
Gonna find it hard not to collect!!! Our basement is just not big enough!!!! Anyone have a backhoe they can lend for a few days to excavate!??!!
God save the queen….
….. she ain’t no human being….she’s a caaaaar” (PT Flea doing John Lydon)
That’s Johnny Rotten to you, mate…..
LOVE the Union Jack alloys on Prince Wheeliam! Another of those cool Pixar details.
London cabs are manufactured by London Taxis International (LTI). They’re purpose-built, though major components come from other automakers’ parts bins. Kinda like mail trucks in the US.
The Queen car is great, probably best not to put that on the little guy’s race track though. I hope that there are Scottish cars wearing kilts with bagpipes that would be funny. Thanks for the pictures.
I hope the movie itself lives up to the die-cast coming from it! 🙂
this is looking good, what do you think rippers!
good to see tyres spelt correctly on the bus!!!!
The retro posters are great… I downloaded them yesterday… this is shaping up to be a very expensive time… all these Cars!
OMG, I am absolutely IN LOVE with all the RETRO Posters thay are doing! I am going to have to find ALL OF THOSE TOOOOOOOOOOOO! 😀
