Welcome to my second home
On these pages I want to document the restauration of my 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado. There are videos, photos and of course lots of information regarding the first model generation of 1966/67. To the restauration pages.
The image on the right shows my old 72 Toronado. It was one of the most reliable cars I ever took on the road and seemed almost indestructable. The photo was taken at the Natural Bridges Monument in Utah. These mountain formations in the far regions of White- and Armstrong Canyon have as many visitors throughout a year as Zion Canyon has in a single day. You can see the location in Google Earth when downloading the attached Google Earth KMZ file. Crossing the desert in a 35 year old 2ton luxury coupe was risky at times and yes, it made it across!
Furthermore, I put photos online that were taken on other travels to the southern United States. There are also a couple of visits to virtual junk yards along the East Coast. Last but not least there is info about racetracks in HO scale. You can find history, specs and track layouts on the slotcars pages.
Have fun browsing the site,
Sebastian aka The Toroguy
Note to international visitors: Contents on this website have just finished reconstruction and I am in the process of translating the individual pages. This process will eventually complete, but it will take some time.

Nach viel zu langer Zeit sind endlich ein paar Bilder aus der Sammlung online gegangen. Dabei habe ich ein bisschen über die Hersteller und die Entstehungsgeschichte geschrieben. Leider kann ich noch nicht viele Kleinserienfertigungen zeigen. Mein Dank geht daher auch an Stefan Laub für den schicken... [more]By: Webmaster 10-10-09 23:10 |
