cool!here is one I painted a while back. I didn't make it two tone like yours though. I should have. I took it apart and had a painter at work spray the body.

Way cool! I picked up a couple of Vibes on Ebay recently, so it's always worth a look.

Ain't no ZipZaps in my collection. It's the real deal straight from Japan. It's a Tomica *****ar-G. It's the Netz Toyota Voltz. Very rare. Got it on Ebay for about $35.00. Only 500 made I believe. I think TRDvibe has one also, but payed a little more for it. Sorry hope!
