Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X - Patrol Cars

When Tomica announced that they will come out with a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X - UK Police last year, a lot of collectors were surprised with Tomica's move since most of their Police/Patrol Cars were in Japanese Police liveries.

For me, it was more of mixed emotions, I was also surprised but very excited to have one. Moreover, there were discussions if a real car existed?

Here's what I found from another site:

Can anyone confirm if these photos are real or just an artist's work?

Here's Tomica's version of the Evo X UK Police Car:

and now, the latest release from Tomica, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X Japanese Patrol Car!

So, has anyone seen a real Evo X UK or Japanese Patrol Car?
Please share photos or a link...Thanks for viewing! =)

Playing on the 21st

It was another holiday for us last Friday(April 09, 2010) here in Manila and I found time to play around at my family's condo unit on the 21st floor of The Manansala Rockwell. 

My photo-booth wasn't around so I experimented on natural lighting without filters or diffusers. Again, let me know your thoughts or suggestions for a better shoot. 

Btw, I'm only using a regular point and shoot Sony Digicam.   =)

Tomica - Japan Rally Car Collection - Mitsubishi

I'm not much into collecting Race or Rally cars but some recent Tomica Rally Car Collection models are very, very, VERY HARD to resist! LOL!

I couldn't find the history/background of each car and driver, so if you know or recognize them, please feel free to post them here.

Thanks and enjoy the photos. =)
