dropot's slot car collection (update->Lancia Stratos)

[dropot2]

Well, here there is my little slot car collection...All the Group B cars were bought when the group still existed, so the cars are rather old (some of them don't appear here because they are too much broken...my father bought me those cars when I was about 4 o 5...:roll:).

My brother's Christmas present: a limited edition of the GT40s that won in the 1966 the Le Mans race. Their performance is really impressive, they are really, really fast and stable.

Waiting for the next one...probably a Lancia Stratos... :twisted: As RC45 said to me:

Welcome to the Dark Side... :)

Now get out there and get some more...

[TT]

Very nice! Especially the Daytona :D

[dingo]

look good, a nice collection you have :D I used to have a few slot cars when I was younger, but stupidly got rid of them for some reason :(

[dropot2]

Very nice! Especially the Daytona :D

The Daytona and the GT40s are the most realistic car I have in the collection. In the Ferrari, they have respected all the details of the real car: the engine is located at the front of the car, but the traction of the car comes from the rear wheels. That means that, as the real Daytona, the car weight is mainly concentrated in the front of the car which gives to him a very special behaviour. :P

Lovely Daytona, Porsche and Bimmer

The photos would be highly appreciated, thanks!! :D :D

1:32 (is that the slot scale?) desn't fit between my 1:43 and 1:18 models...

Yes, their scale is 1:32, but I think you can find some car in 1:24 but they are rather strange...

[dropot2]

There are a lot of people looking for cars like the M3, or the Quattro, 911RS, Lancia 037, or the 288GTO... and yours are in a perfect condition!!! I used to have the Pioneer and the red 288GTO some time ago (when I was around ten, jeje)... don't know if you remember them... but I was stupid for some reason, and destroyed them when they became useless...

Recently I've registered myself as member of a slot cars forum and a guy has said to me that my GTO has a good value due to its retirement from the market because of some problems with the sponsor of the car "Española de Video"...However, I doubt it costs a lot of money if it is second hand...

[dropot2]

BTW, it's funny you bought a car with the words "Española de Video" in the bonet... a 100% catalanich like you!!! jajaja :wink:

It was bought by my father, not by me... :wink:

[dropot2]

Yesterday, my girlfriend bought me this beauty as my birthday present (I love her!!! :D :D :D ):
