The Tommi Lancer Evo pic that TT posted, I have that one. Except mine is number 926.
I also have a Subaru WRC car and a Unisia Jecs Skyline. All in 1/43 scale.

For RC cars, I have a Traxxas Emaxx, Tamiya Terracrusher and a HPI Micro RS4.

Sorry, I don't have a camera, so no pics.

i collect f1 cars especaily if there is m.schuey in it. there are rarer f1 cars than that. just missing 3 bennetton cars from his ms collection from minichamps.

i think bbr only produces 300, thats why its expensive plus its fully hand made. perfect i might add.

microworld made only 150 which i have unlucky number 13. it was of schuey and barrichello in brazil. but part of the scene was wrong. stil i had to get it because of schuey.

i need to get camera to show off so i don't need to unpack them. 2/3 o my models are in boxes instead of the shelf. i only show crrent models. those hotwheels take up so much space. i also don't take them out of the box so they won't be collecting dust.

Nice collection Gis - TT - SDK2003. I only got a few. One of the F-50 spider at 1/18 and then 12 others at 1/39. But I don't got a camera so ... can't post pics.

By the way TT, like your pics!

Yeah, the anti-tabacoo thing sucks :/
Not sure who makes them but I get them from - http://www.diecastlegends.com


I really want to get a Nitro R/C car but I don't think I have the time to join a race club and I can't really justify £500 just to impress the kids on my road :x

if you want to go upscale with nitro cars, they can be expensive. but once you're hooked into rc cars, you'll be spending like you'll be spending on modifying your real car.

my fren into it and i've seen his setup, it almost a miniature F1 garage. engines, shocks, tools, chassis etc it all over the place. once i went with him to a race track and i asked him "where's his car?" he points in there into a box and i go "where?" and he goes "oh i build my car when i get there" almost like a real race team operation he's got on there.
