Default Slot cars limited edition!

When I first saw them I thought they were scale models, they were so real...but they are slot cars! And it is a limited edition of the GT40s that won in the 1966 the Le Mans race. In first place the Ford GT40 427 MkII drived by Amon and McLaren (the black one), in second place the Ford GT40 427 MkII drived by Miles and Hulme (the sky blue one), and finally the Ford GT40 427 MkII drived by Bucknum and Hutcherson (the brown one).
Here there are some pics:






























And here another present from christmas, another slot car, a Ferrari GTB "Daytona", first in the Tour of France in 1972:

You grew up in Spain and only NOW figured out that 1/32 slot cars are superdetailed collectables as well?

Spain is the premiere provider of high-detailed slot cars to the world.. hehe



Welcome to the Dark Side...

Now get out there and get some more...

Nice GT40 set. I've been eyeing that one for sometime. There's also a Ferrari 330 P4 three car set - Le Mans top 3 thats awesome

Well, I know there are very realistic slot cars out there but what confused me the most was the box. I didn't think about a pack of cars, in the way they were showed they seemed scale models...
And yes, I'm afraid I'm already in the dark side...I'm waiting for my next salary to buy something I've in mind...
For certain...the GT40s are extremely fast...just incredible compared with the other cars I have. Also I didn't expect that their lights work. They make a very sexy orange light...
