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<\/strong> 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<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR #104 – Spark<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only a FRIGGENTASTIC model from Spark, also the final “factory” Silver Arrow for the W-143 Garage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

BMW 3.5 CSL #43 – Ixo<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though a so-called “budget” model, probably the best bang-for-the-buck I found in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Porsche 934 \u201cJ\u00e4germeister\u201d #68 – Spark<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not a winner, however being a J\u00e4germeister car (the only one at Le Mans), a very dear model to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Porsche 935 #40 – Spark<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A class winner and<\/em> a special one for the Garage – the second of the X-Ray cars. And, Spark-goregous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Porsche 911 (964) Carrera 4 RAUH-Welt Begriff \u201cWaikato\u201d – Tarmac Works<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nice surprise of the year – I was genuinely impressed by Tarmac Works. A GREAT <\/strong>model on a budget price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
