Mclaren MP4/4 - Ayrton Senna - 1988 - 1:64 Minichamps -->not the prettiest F1 car but certainly one of the most dominant - its 1.5 l turbo engine propelled Ayrton and Alain to 15 wins out of 16 races Model Rating: 6/10 (too small to notice all details) Worth buying? Yes if you want the complete Senna collection http://img45.exs.cx/img45/9507/DSCN3602.th.jpg Mclaren MP4/7 - Ayrton Senna - 1992 - 1:64 Minichamps --> Aaah, along with the Ferrari 641 one of the prettiest shapes to come in the last 20 years. Model Rating: 6/10 (too small to notice all details) Worth buying? Yes if you want the complete Senna collection http://img45.exs.cx/img45/1717/DSCN3605.th.jpg Mclaren MP4/2B - Niki Lauda - 1984 - 1:43 Minichamps --> Older shape sort of resembles the 1992 shape more than the 1988 version. Model Rating: 8/10 (much better than the above two) Worth buying? Definitely - nice model + Lauda was WDC in this car http://img45.exs.cx/img45/8313/DSCN3606.th.jpg Williams Renault FW16 - Ayrton Senna - 1994 - 1:43 Minichamps --> Senna's last ride - one of the coolest paint jobs ever Model Rating: 10/10 (much better than the above two) Worth buying? Yes ... Ayrton Senna .. nuff said http://img45.exs.cx/img45/1327/DSC00356.th.jpg Tyrrell 002 - Francois Cevert - 1972 - 1:43 Quartzo --> Actual car: neat shape. Model: I am not impressed with Quartzo - looks cheap and flimsy construction -- i will avoid this make in the future Model Rating: 3/10 (lousy) Worth buying? Skip ... http://img45.exs.cx/img45/5261/DSC00368.th.jpg Cooper Climax T51 - Stirling Moss - 1959 - 1:43 Quartzo --> Actual car: Giant killer in the hands of Sir Stirling Moss. I am not impressed with Quartzo - looks cheap and flimsy construction -- i will avoid this make in the future. Wheel came off when I tried to spin it Model Rating: 4/10 (lousy quality) Worth buying? Skip ... http://img45.exs.cx/img45/5007/DSC00364.th.jpg Ferrari F2002 - Michael Schumacher - 1:18 - Mattel Dynamite in the hands of Schumi. Pretty decent model - looks like the aero parts are correctly reproduced Model Rating: 8/10 Worth buying? Worth it for the money - engine and innard are hidden. BBR and others are better detailed but is too expensive http://img45.exs.cx/img45/9466/DSCN3629.th.jpg Porsche 917K - 1:18 - Autoart 240 mph down the Mulsanne straight. This model was from the movie "Le Mans" starring steve McQueen Model Rating: 10/10 - Exceptional detailing - rubber on tyres seem very real Worth buying? Hell Yeah! My best model http://img45.exs.cx/img45/1932/DSCN3631.th.jpg http://img45.exs.cx/img45/1730/DSCN3632.th.jpg Ford GT - 1:18 - The Beanstalk group The new supercar. Very cool looking.... Model Rating: 9/10 Very nice overall. Exceptional engine and suspension detailing Worth buying? Yes http://img45.exs.cx/img45/3616/DSCN3616.th.jpg http://img45.exs.cx/img45/7043/DSCN3618.th.jpg http://img45.exs.cx/img45/3934/DSCN3617.th.jpg Ferrari Enzo - 1:18 - Hot Wheels Nice car overall. Model Rating: 9/10 Lights are nicely done. The rear hatch is a bit of pain to close... Worth buying? Yes. Available in black, red, yellow. Black is the nicest IMHO http://img45.exs.cx/img45/6172/DSCN3609.th.jpg http://img45.exs.cx/img45/262/DSCN3611.th.jpg Ferrari 360 CS - 1:18 - Hot Wheels Not as smooth looking model as the Enzo. The front hood is a little clumsy. OK otherwise Model Rating: 8.5/10 Worth buying? Yes. Grey or black is the best. Red is a bit generic... IMHO http://img45.exs.cx/img45/8162/DSCN3614.th.jpg http://img45.exs.cx/img45/3678/DSCN3615.th.jpg Lamborghini Murcialago - 1:18 - Maisto Very nicely done. The only quibble I have is that the cooling vents behind the door doesn't flip open. Model Rating: 9/10 Worth buying? Yes. Quality better than Hot Wheels. Grey is the best. Black hides too many of the details of the little bat. IMHO http://img45.exs.cx/img45/1036/DSCN3626.th.jpg http://img45.exs.cx/img45/6200/DSCN3627.th.jpg Ferrari 550 Barchetta - 1:18 - Hot Wheels Interior is a little dull and lights poor compared to the Lambo. Ok overall. Model Rating: 8.5/10 Worth buying? Yes. All colours suit the Barchetta - flashy model http://img48.exs.cx/img48/9619/DSCN3624.th.jpg http://img48.exs.cx/img48/6096/DSCN3625.th.jpg Porsche Carrera GT - 1:18 - Maisto Very well executed model. Model Rating: 9.5/10 Worth buying? Yes. Quality better than Hot Wheels. Shines in black http://img48.exs.cx/img48/8524/DSCN3612.th.jpg http://img48.exs.cx/img48/3816/DSCN3613.th.jpg Ferrari 166M - 1:18 - Hot Wheels Nicest Mattel model that i have. Model Rating: 9.5/10 Worth buying? Yes. Quality good. http://img48.exs.cx/img48/196/DSCN3622.th.jpg http://img48.exs.cx/img48/9836/DSCN3623.th.jpg Ayrton Senna 1988 helmet and Michael Schumacher helmet (year unknown) Model Rating: 9/10 Worth buying? Yes. Has helmet strap http://img48.exs.cx/img48/6882/DSCN3628.th.jpg Head to head The hypercars http://img48.exs.cx/img48/2032/DSCN3619.th.jpg The "reasonably priced" exotics http://img48.exs.cx/img48/9205/DSCN3620.th.jpg |

so is it hot wheels who makes the CS is red so far? they only make it in red with the stripe?
|
I think so.. they had around 10 Hotwheels 1:18 in my store and all of them were red with stripe :D so I think there is no other color available at the moment LOL
|
Matteo how much were those ones in your shop?
|
Usual Hotwheels price, some 15 to 20 GBP I think

16. 1:32 Chevron B19 - Can Am - Jody Schecter - GB Track Model Rating: 8/10 Worth buying? Yes. Nicely detailed for a slot car. But not so nice and shiny that you wouldn't want to take it racing. http://img16.exs.cx/img16/8652/DSCN3646.th.jpg |
The 917K looks stunning !!! the colors are great ! looks like my 330 P4. only in other colors

Another 917 I like is the Canam version - it was an open wheel spyder with a turbocharged engine capble of putting out 1100hp ... Mopsdrop - can you pls post pictures of your collection. I'd like to see it very much - particulary the P4 - easily one of the coolest looking race cars ever! |
OK ... my Chevron Canam slot car (see 3 posts above) which i bought yesterday was feeling all lonely being the only slot car around a sea of diecasts. So I took pity on it and got it some company ....
** New on 7/24 ** 17. 1:32 Mercedes Benz CLK DTM - Bernd Schnieder - 2004 - Scalatrix Model Rating: 9/10 Worth buying? Yes. Much better details than the Canam car - looks from outside to be diecast quality. Has jewel like headlamps (that actual light up on the circuit), roll-cage, driver, tow bars, spoilers, you name it is awesome... The quality of scale cars available nowadays are unbelievable. To misuse an Oldsmobile catchphase " This ain't your father's slot cars" http://img15.exs.cx/img15/2968/DSCN3651.th.jpg http://img15.exs.cx/img15/1526/DSCN3658.th.jpg |
