R.I.P Mr. van Cleemput.

I wonder if he was the guy that named the company... In any case, here's the namegiver. Kodi, my one and a half year old Welsh Corgi Pembroke Sable Fluff :

He loves model cars but i keep 'em safe behind glass.

I still have my 267 batmobile mom bought for me in 1967, 4 bucks new...missing the rubber wheels, but still in its original box. The hotwheels 1/18 scale is my new favorite and resides in my curio cabinet with custom painted figures inside it.

The corgis were always selling for 400.00 and up, but the hotwheel lines have seemed to pull the price down on the corgis considerably.

As a kid Corgi was my favourite brand of die cast model. I had dozens of them at one time. They were much better quality than Dinky.
