Not a diecast but a conversion of sorts.
When I was a kid, Aurora Processing Plastics Company made a Large (approximately 1/12) Indy Lotus. We used to tie fishing line to the car on one end and the back of our bike on the other end. Then we would ride our bikes as fast as we could with the Indy Lotus following close behind. Going around corners on our bikes was to best because the plastic car before would do these massive power slides! Well, I happened to come across the exact one I had as a kid at the January memorabilia show. I bought it for the memories but also thought I might be able to do something with it. Here it is as I got it and what I turned it into. Decals were made by me.
I may hang it on the wall or I could tie it to my bike and ride around the neighborhood! That would be a site I bet. A 62 year old man doing power slides with a toy! LOL
While not completely accurate I think it turned out pretty cool. (Yes, I am still a kid at heart!)
