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.
