Vroom vroom - get your motor running


July is absolutely the best time of the year up here in Townsville. Clear, crisp mornings and sunny days in the mid 20s. It's magic. There is heaps on too; lots of tourists about; and the odd whale swimming near the ferry route to Maggie Island. This week things are especially 'buzzy', as the V8s are on this weekend. Now I am the first to admit that I am really not a car enthusiast, but it would be hard not to get excited about 130 000 visitors in a town of 170 000 people. The tent city that most of them are staying in must be pretty impressive. Our retail store is right near the race track; so we have got into the spirit by making our window displays race day ready, with a plethora of vehicles on show. From Automoblox to Wonderworld, and everything in between; Bajo, Brio, Cito; Debresk, Djeco, Fagus, Haba, HaPe, Janod, John Crane, Le Toy Van, Pintoy, Playsam, the Toy Workshop, Vilac and Voila. We have more than 100 wooden cars to choose from, so our visitors can take home a nice souvenir of their time in the capital of North Queensland.
