Travelling the Great Ocean Road along Victorias coast provides for some scenic backdrops.
I've delved into the archives for a shot from nearly 2 years ago taken on a friends DSLR, before I even had my own.
I haven't taken any new pics lately because I've just been too busy. No excuse but deadlines upon deadlines kinda gets to you so you need a creative break and I resort to post processing old images.
Until the next image, be good everyone.
I got a shiny new* Mazda3! It's great! It doesn't smell of dead fish, the window trim hasn't been burnt off by the sun, the passenger window rolls up without having to be pushed outward, the exhaust doesn't sound like a raspy food blender, it's got more kit than the Albanian navy, and... somehow the rear legroom is worse. But that's okay because I never have passengers! Time to clean it up and make it extra mad. Bring forth the Polish!!! Er... make that "polish."
*It's new to me, anyway.
Best viewed full screen (L) esp. on this shot.
Second Mazda 3 shot in series. Decided to go less processed on this one. Thoughts?
Brand new 2026 Case B recolour of the Matchbox 2019 Mazda3 which shimmers in a metallic colour so dark I can't decipher whether its black or a very dark green. Either way it comes from a long line of great releases this casting has enjoyed since it first appeared back in 2020, many duplicates which predictably reside in my collection.
A smart clean looking hatchback captured very well by Matchbox with few obvious cost saving measures to spoil the effect.
Mint and boxed.
So this is the second photo in my newest series depicting my interpretation of each of the new songs from Linkin Park's new album, One More Light. We might actually go back and do another version for this song. It wasn't suppose to be this gritty.
- I wanna fall wide awake now
So tell me it's alright
Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight
And only I can save me now
I'm holding up a light
Chasing up the darkness inside
And I don't wanna let you down
But only I can save me!
The brand new Matchbox 2019 Mazda3 is FINALLY here after several delays to its production. Very eagerly awaited by many collectors though in all honesty they might be a little bit disappointed with its debut release. Matchbox have given it a very flat unexciting maroon colour instead of a more vibrant metallic plus its wheel choice is also a little bit uninspiring considering the card artwork shows it with darkened wheels. Otherwise its a fine model with the above concerns easily rectified with its next recolour. Mint and boxed.
Finding new Matchbox in my local area isn't a problem; unfortunately its all older batches which literally just aren't shifting! My various Poundlands and one The Entertainer are groaning under the weight of this years Case C assortment with no sign of them being updated anytime soon which is becoming rather frustrating!
I've resisted in helping them move this stock as i've already plenty in my collection but did my civic duty by grabbing two more of these Mazda3's which is a casting i've long admired.
Gleaming in what looks like a black metallic finish its one of my favourite recolours so far.
Mint and boxed.
Mazda 3 e-Skyactiv G 2.0 Sport Tech.
The first car I've had reservations about selling, but unfortunately for practical reasons I needed something with a bit more ground clearance that was easier for my wife to get in and out of.
- This was the last location of our second photoshoot together. Thanks for being a unique model to work with :)
A much delayed, much anticipated and thus much hyped new Matchbox release which when I first obtained one a few months back did disappoint somewhat. Ugly wheels and a dreary colour compared to the card artwork didn't help matters but after finding more from Tesco recently I'm actually beginning to appreciate it more.
Its U.S. one Dollar price point means it will never be as good as say a Tomica but what you do get is more than acceptable realism and detailing. Mint and boxed.
