Another Hotwheels 250 GTO is this racing version.. the only Hot wheels model I dared to buy (I'd rather buy less models but better ones )

^^ never saw that hotwheels I would have buyed it without thinking

with my low salary I would have to stick with burago and hotwheels. Maisto I could buy a couple.
with kyosho and autoart I'll have to save up a little.

I really like UT (company has folded, so finding them may be hard), Autoart, and Minichamps.
Kyoshos can vary, some are great, others aren't so good (especially some of their MBs).
CMC and Exoto are pretty much as good as it gets, but you need serious $$ for those!

Hope that helped. 8)
I wouldn't say the HW models are crap, thats being a bit harsh.....but obviously they are not as good as AA or Kyosho. However if you want certain Ferrari models they are basically the only choice so thats why they are recommended sometimes

Dingo you've got a point, only certain ferrari models are produced by HW...them and their stupid ferrari contract!!

Personally, I have not been impressed by the ferrari models by HW (especially the Challenge Stradale, was really dissapointed by that one), the only exception would only be the 288 GTO. I really hope they can pull together a better effort for the F430.
