  Yes, you read that correctly ? TOMY are releasing a special limited edition Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Ford Anglia Bit Char-G. To coincide with the launch of the video and DVD in Japan this month. I haven?t got a pic of the car, but I do have a nice big one (oooh err) of the box. I?m trying to get one of these out of TOMY.
  
  Here?s the thumbnail ? please click for larger version.
  
  Cheers,
  Martin ? Bit Char-G UK

  Of course it?s an April Fool?s day joke, but I must admit it?s a good one! :clown: Could Mr UK be thinking of April as the number 4 on the box!?

  Yeah. April fools jokes traditionally end at midday in the land of Aus, and seeing as I read this one late afternoon I had let my guard down.
  
  But there’s a mod idea anyway. A Ford Anglia. hahahaaaa
  I bet with the whole Harry Potter thing it would sell a few too.

  Hey all, saw this at work and asked a co-worker, from Japan what the text next to the 4 said on the bitchar-g UK site and he told me that it said April Fools, more or less in so-so Japanese. Good one Martin, and great graphx on the box (you should send this to Tomy and see if it flies?). And good call Trackmaster;)

  Hi Guys,
  Glad you liked my little jape. I didn’t have time to do the car too. I do have a pic. As for blanking out the contents – i couldn’t find a top-down image of a Ford Anglia in time. LOL.
  
  Well done to those that spotted the April fools message in Japanese. I was hoping to run with the story for longer than a day… 🙂
  
  Thanks for sending over the pics Dave (my outbox isn’t working at the moment).
  
  Here’s to next years’…. And who says it has to be in April.
  
  Cheers,
  Martin

  Dave,
  Sme is his initials…LOL. Although Sme does sound like a Lord of the Rings character.

  It that a twist on ‘smear me with honey and throw me to the lesbians’, or is mine a twist on yours?
