Hey guys, I decided it was time to post my collection.
Started collecting last summer, so my collection is still very small and modest.
I got a new cabinet so I decided to snap a few pics, enjoy!

These pics aren't the newest, since then I have added a black AA Lamborghini Diablo GTR and a yellow AA Lamborghini Gallardo!

Nice collection. That Mclaren F1 (silver) is in scale 1/12? I plan buy it in black by Minichamps. Pretty rare (only 2000 pieces ever made).

Thanks momo!

The silver Mac is actually 1:18, good luck with your purchase!
btw, I'm the guy that asked for your help to get the 40th anniversary Murcielago! Just wanted to let you know that I finally have one coming my way!

Oh, hi

Good luck with Lambo. Who made that silver McLaren? UT models?

Pwoarrr · 02-04-2005, 07:16 PM

Yes, UT made it, also comes in a dark grey and dark green colour.

where are you getting all the UT models from? I've been looking for a few (especially the 993 GT2) but Ebay is the only place I can get them.....but that gets too expensive with shipping/customs costs

Pwoarrr · 02-07-2005, 07:29 PM

Dingo, I get my UTs off of ebay. I live in Canada, so shipping isn't too bad. Honestly, I was really lucky to get those UTs....usually they go for ridiculous prices, but I managed to get a hold of some great deals!

I find that working with the seller to find a price to close the auction early really helps. Also, I find that telling the seller to mark off the packages as "gifts" helps me avoid the hefty custom fees.....don't know if that would work in Australia though?

all yer cars are awsome ... 8) especialy the Silver F-1 is a must have .. lol
whast the black car with the maclaren ? cant see it properly + im too lazy ryt now

Pwoarrr · 02-08-2005, 09:44 PM

Thanks saadie,

yeah, I still can't believe I have the silver Mac...it's definitely a keeper.
The black car is also a Mac, a McLaren F1 GTR to be exact.

Alright it's here!! Someone PINCH me!!! :shock:
Having heard countless discussions about how this model is fetching some serious $$$ and this one being the "creme de la creme" of the big Macs, I seriously had my doubts when it came to obtaining this model. I thought that if I was lucky, I might found myself with this further down the road......and what do ya know! Here I am with staring right at it!

I consider myself as being truly blessed and very lucky to start out in this hobby with such a fantastic lineup....I'm grateful for each and every single one of my models and absolutely cherish all of them....ahhhh, ebay I LOVE YOU!! Enough talk, let the pics speak for themselves:
