    What is this toy called
    I am searching desperately for a toy my son wants for Christmas but I have know idea what it is, he has seen it advertised on the CITV channel. The description I have to go on is : cars that look rusty, you can change their wheels sand them down and spray paint them with little cans also add little patterns down the side. That's it, I've googled to death and can't find anything that resembles this, I'm also glued to CITV every morning. PLease can anyone help.

    I don't think any toy company would be putting out toys with spray cans of paint. E mail or phone the TV station. They could probably let you know who that sponsor was.

    I am going to suggest a different search engine -- Web Ferret

    WebFerret (exe), from CNET Networks - Free Downloads on ZDNet | Shareware, Trialware, Evaluation Software

    With a small input you get a big output -- click on link that's close to??

    Could it be Tech Custom Garage Playset;

    Amazon.co.uk - Good product Image

    Argos - Not as good an image, but a fiver cheaper!

    That's so weird, I went through Woolies first (agree, shocking site!), thought it sounded like a Chad Valley creation! :D

    I've seen the one at argos and my son said that was'nt it but your right the one at Amazon is a much clearer image and that could be it, it certainly fits the description I'll show him when he gets home and let you know. Fingers crossed!!
