This pretty much speaks for itself. First video of the new Porsche 918 hitting the streets. This car looks amazing. I was a huge fan of the Carrera GT but this really tops that. This is a 3.4L V8 Super car hybrid that gets 78mpg! Take a second and re read that sentence “3.4L V8 Super car hybrid that gets 78mpg“.

So a few of us here at Tom’s Foreign have taken up racing 1/10 scale RC cars. It’s been a lot of fun for us so far and has kept us busy when we’re not selling foreign auto parts. Our friends over at RC Hobbies in Winstead CT have built a pretty nice dirt track in the parking lot of their store. Behind the track though are these huge cement tubes we just had to try. Check out the video below!  This is our very own Micheal Mcdonald using his Traxxas Slash 4×4 with a Mamba 2650k swap.

Welcome to the NEW Tom’s Foreign Auto Parts website. For whatever reason, I found it necessary to post a screen shot of the site your currently viewing. I guess that just shows how excited we are about this NEW site. We’ve been playing around with our website for years now and could just never get it to where we wanted it to be. Those that know us have heard “Our new site will be up soon”  thousands of times. This is our 4th website and by far the best one we’ve been able to put together.

We hit a new milestone on eBay recently and reached 25,000 feedback which means we got a new fancy star. eBay’s been pretty good to us over the years. You can see we also get consistently high DSR ratings and maintain Top Seller Status (TRS). We put a lot of work into our customer service as a company. It’s not just one or two employees that make this happen. We get our entire staff involved to make sure all orders are smooth from start to finish.
