Top 5 – 2021
This year I decided to do something different to close the year. Well, I almost did this last year, but with the COVID pandemic raging the idea kind of floundered. Anyway, the intent is to show the Top 5 models I reviewed in the year. Not just the best models from a craftsmanship perspective but models that for some reason have special significance to me or the W-143 Garage. So without further ado, and in chronological order, here are the Top 5 models of 2021:
Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR #104 – Spark
Not only a FRIGGENTASTIC model from Spark, also the final “factory” Silver Arrow for the W-143 Garage.
Though a so-called “budget” model, probably the best bang-for-the-buck I found in 2021.
Porsche 934 “Jägermeister” #68 – Spark
Not a winner, however being a Jägermeister car (the only one at Le Mans), a very dear model to me.
A class winner and a special one for the Garage – the second of the X-Ray cars. And, Spark-goregous.
Porsche 911 (964) Carrera 4 RAUH-Welt Begriff “Waikato” – Tarmac Works
The nice surprise of the year – I was genuinely impressed by Tarmac Works. A GREAT model on a budget price.
