I remember buying this and the Cattanooga Cats album when I got out of the Army (of all places!).
Been looking for this one for YEARS!

Thanks for this!!
Oh, I remember this show! This program is the reason why I wanted to collect Hot Wheels toys when I was 9 years old. Today, I'm also collecting other toy cars. My recent car replica is a Ram 3500 from Dodge. Dealerships Edmonton-based is known for selling affordable cars like Chrysler. So if you want to have one of these cars, you may visit this place to find a model fits you!
