Best of 2024

[SVT4MT]

With New Years in sight, thought I would open the floor for a look back discussion on your best of 2024.

No specific topic, dealers choice to what is the Best of 2024 for you..

Today I'll throw out some diecast highlights for 2024, there's a lot, but a few stood out, I'll try and limit it to one from each manufacturer.

Or not. lol


Greenlight Mustang Stampede Home was a good set, despite the fact the SN95 was not included, could have had one from each generation.

With the 60th next year, Series #2 will likely pop up in 2025, if not a 60th Anniversary specific set.

For singles, these were two goodies.

M2 is not a series I collect, but this one was too good to pass up.

Another series I'm a big fan of, HW Boulevards, this was probably the best set of the five sets released this year.

Finally, throwing together this BF Goodrich series from different years was a personal highlight of 2024.

Best of 2024 for me was the 2024 I took delivery of on March 1st, 2024.

You got to double down on that one, with the 2010 as well.

Probably attending Bruins home game for first time for me, on November 9th.

Spring run through Maine and New Hampshire

Spring run through Maine and New Hampshire

Definitely agree. Taking the car on that run was a close second to picking it up.

2024 was a Good year,
Spring run to New Hampshire.
Spring run to Taylors Ford, great turn out.
Hanging out at Nationals, Friday Night run and supper
Fall run after waiting 2 years to pull it off.

Starting build on race car, another Mustang

Decent year for my companies.
( which means more car money) LOL

I have to thank alot of people here as I had a really good Mustang year.
and Personally a good year otherwise.

When I look around the world today, I feel blessed and thankful.

I look Forward to 2025.

Non mustang related, the arrival of grandchild number 3 is definitely a high point for 2024

 

[Mcdavis]

Definitely agree. Taking the car on that run was a close second to picking it up.

HMR Kevin!
(If you know you know)

 

[Mcdavis]

Spring run in NH, and finally building another garage, so we can keep all the cars at home.

 

[KBStang]

HMR Kevin!
(If you know you know)

Definitely a smile inducing drive. ))

On the topic of smiles per gallon, 2024 was remarkably mod free on the car, but the FP Pro-Cal tune for the truck was a win.

2024 has been a pretty good one up our way.
First we managed to stay healthy, thats the important one.
But we also got to finally join the gang and do the Fall Run, was really awesome to see everyone again…… bonus !
On the home front ‘24 was a fun time as we got to follow our 3 yr old grandson on his motocross race circuit, very cool for grampy here.

Then this fall our son in law made a career change and partnered in a local business.
With this they purchased a building here in town and opened up a second store.
Both places offer sales of Ariens and Stihl products plus outdoor clothing such as Klim, Scott, Choco etc.
Of course lots of motocross stuff too.

They also sell used ATV’s , Snowmobiles, Harley’s etc along with all kinds of maintenance products.
Repair service also offered with 2 mechanics on board.
So an exciting year for us, now hoping ‘25 continues on the same course ?? Lol

Very cool Roger, best of luck to your son inlaw on the new venture

Next year your making fall run also, no excuse this year lol

 

[Fun GT]

Thanks, yeah these times are quite unpredictable so we too are hoping he succeeds. His stock is starting to come in so the place looks good and he’s very busy so fingers crossed.
It’s already in the books for the fall run, and maybe even more hopefully..
Happy new Mustang Year to all …

Congrats, nice score, love the S197, I tried to get a GT500 in 2006, but ADM was stupider than normal, so I ordered an '06 GT 'vert at MSRP instead.

I hope you get out there and drive the wheels off it, don't leave it sitting in a garage for 15+ years like the previous owner.

Although that was good for you.....not so much for him. lol
