The Autoart GT3R is very nice! Racing version and no pointless stickers. I like it!

HAHA it's actually AutoArt not Maisto but I agree it looks really clean in just white. one of the reasons i bought over a GT2 at the time.

And if you want more detailed pics of a certain car just let me know and I can deliver

Nice detail pics maybe a tripod and the macro feature could help a bit too

The GT3 is very nice, sadly here I saw only "proper" racing 996 so far (w/ stickers I mean)..

As for the CS, I was already tempted so many times.. but every time I see a nice model from Hotwheels I can't help to think it's not as good as an Autoart and prefer to save for something else.. I hate the fact Ferrari doesn't give licenses to "good" manufacturers... (let's say in 1/18 since BBR's 1/43 are marvellous.. although not cheap LOL)

I know what you mean but after actually seeing and touching a couple CS's I had to have one no matter the manufacturer and I got it really cheap with my freguent buyers thing I bought 2 Autoarts and earned $20 so i payed the hefty price of $13 with tax so well worth it and the Enzo I had to have period just waiting for my SLR to get to my local shop (special order) And about the pics they were done quickly and my Cam is soo small it can't connect to a tripod but that's why I like it very convenient. 8) http://pejoyrum.notlong.com

BTW, last detail and I will stop my stupid picky comments, but posting 1600+ pixels wide pics, makes impossible to read the posts since you have to scroll the page to the right for every line

i read you put "black devil car" near your enzo...
i trust that is a reference to the program where jay Kay (jamiroquai's lead singer) shows his cars (i think it was 5th gear...)
if u happen to know where i can find a video of this program, i'd be grateful

Nice to see you've got Hummer models. not many collectors have them, I suppose. Good luck on improving your collection.
