btw, a few more are coming next week.

WELL BAD NEWS FIRST, i wasn't able to pickup one of the Ford GT40 at the store, why? becaus i wanted a Mk2 and they have only 1 mk2 which they already sold, they only have 2 mk4 left, so i went to another store, and to my surprise, the mk2 was there but the price was like 300$ which is out of my league. :( :( :( THE GOOD NEWS, i was able to pickup a GMP 1/18th mustang boss 302, the quality is Very good (it better be for 169$ LMFAO).

these are a few that i'm thinking about buying (can only afford 2 though):

1/18th EXOTO FORD GT40 MK2 Lemans winner
1/18th porsche 917 from autoart
1/18th porsche GT3RSR from autoart
1/18th lancia delta intergrale from autoart(is this one out yet???)
1/18th BMW M3 or M3 CSL from autoart.[/img]

[gis]

if i was you id get the M3 CSL and the GT3 RSR

[tigerx]

Screw all of those, i've set my sight on 1 single model now, it's as expensive as both those car together.

it's a 1:18th Ford GT40 mk2 made by Exoto, i've located them somewhere in toronto. they cost around 250$ canadian for 1 car, but the details is amazing, i'm not rich enough for the 1:10 or 1:12 version of this car which cost like 1000+ so i'm gonna have to go with this one. wish me luck guys, they only have 3 of them left. and Exoto isn't supplying them with models anymore, the day will be next friday :D.

here's some info on the model:

[tigerx]

yes but i hope they have the 1st place mclaren GT40

[sameerrao]

Small collection true but exceptional quality .... nice choice in cars as well brand (Autoart).

I was contemplating the same shelf but couldnt too many cars to fit in so I switched to simple steel shelves :(

[tigerx]

well i can only put 8 cars in it. and i actually only have 1 autoart LOL :P the bottom 2 cars is pretty crappy.

I was referring to the cars on your wishlist you dope! :D

[tigerx]

lol ic, yeah let's just hope i can get that much money by christmas LMFAO.

[TT]

Nice way to display the models :D what's bad about IKEA's furniture? :D nothing at all ;) but you will need a lot of free space if you will keep displaying them like that :P

That's why I went down the 1:43 road myself :P but then there is my girlfriend and her dolls everywhere :D

[Mr.Vercetti]

Nice collection m8. Tell me, the Ford GT and the Corvette r manufactured by which company?

[tigerx]

ford GT is made by beanstalk
2001 corvette C5R is made by AutoART.

[tigerx]

GOD DAM IT, they dont' have the lemans winner car of mclaren/amon.

they only have the daytona winner car of andretti/mclaren.

urgh i'm so pissed.

[gis]

i went to my shop today and they had a 1:12 GT40,with all spare parts,very limited production,had LOADS of extra stuff with it..........cost £600,LOL i turned and walked away quickly,lol

[tigerx]

i'm guessing that's not an Exoto, cuz they only make 1:10 :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: and 1:18

i saw the gt40 mk2 1:12 #2 driven by mclaren/amon in another store, that is being sell for around 1000$CND+ so i quickly take out a crowbar, smash the case and then stole the car lol. jk. but yeah that's just crazy how much it cost.

[tigerx]

!!!NEW MODEL ADDED!!!

WELL BAD NEWS FIRST, i wasn't able to pickup one of the Ford GT40 ( that i literally cream my pant when i saw it) at the store, why? becaus i wanted a Mk2 and they have only 1 mk2 which they already sold, they only have 2 mk4 left, so i went to another store, and to my surprise, the mk2 was there but the price was like 300$ which is out of my league. :( :( :( THE GOOD NEWS, i was able to pickup a GMP 1/18th mustang boss 302, the quality is Very good (it better be for 169$ LMFAO, it's the most expensive model in my collection lol, there was only one left in the store :P).

Hey, don't feel bad about the IKEA set up. At least you have them in something respectable. Really, the glass shelves make it look like a store display almost. Mine are just up on a shelf that was already in my apartment when i moved in. and the two F1 cars are sitting on top of my TV, so you could be doing worse i guess.

[tigerx]

i guess, but it can't hold alot of cars.

[ZfrkS62]

the nice thing about IKEA is they have alot of stuff for cheap :wink:

I have the Standox Suzuka Sun GT40 MkII from Exoto...it is the single most detailed, wonderful car in my collection...good luck finding one and getting it for a reasonable price...there are usually quite a few on Ebay and a lot of times you can beat retail price that way.

[tigerx]

hmm the one i saw at the store was a gold GT40, it's VERY small, alot smaller then my ford GT, which was kinda weird. but the details is UNBELIEVABLE.

[tigerx]

good news, i'm returning the mustang, in order to save up a lil money and buy the ford GT40!!!! nothing wrong with the stang though, it's beautiful, but the ford GT40 is still a ford GT40 :D
