dropot's slot car collection (update->Lancia Stratos)
 
Well, here there is my little slot car collection...All the Group B cars were bought when the group still existed, so the cars are rather old (some of them don't appear here because they are too much broken...my father bought me those cars when I was about 4 o 5...:roll:).

My brother's Christmas present: a limited edition of the GT40s that won in the 1966 the Le Mans race. Their performance is really impressive, they are really, really fast and stable.

The Daytona and the GT40s are the most realistic car I have in the collection. In the Ferrari, they have respected all the details of the real car: the engine is located at the front of the car, but the traction of the car comes from the rear wheels. That means that, as the real Daytona, the car weight is mainly concentrated in the front of the car which gives to him a very special behaviour. :P

Lovely Daytona, Porsche and Bimmer

Yes, their scale is 1:32, but I think you can find some car in 1:24 but they are rather strange...

Recently I've registered myself as member of a slot cars forum and a guy has said to me that my GTO has a good value due to its retirement from the market because of some problems with the sponsor of the car "Española de Video"...However, I doubt it costs a lot of money if it is second hand...
