I try to stick with 1:18 models but I saw these two (1:24) and they were really cheap so I couldn't resist. They are obviously not the most detailed models out there but for $12 you can't ask much, and I really wanted a Zonda.

Zonda:




456GT:

They are pretty nice indeed, and it's very difficult to stick to one size only I know it

i try to be firm on the size because then the cars wouldnt match but in the case of that Zonda i think it will slide

well I went there planning on getting a 1:18 Ferrari (355 or F40) but once I saw the Zonda I didn't have enough $$$ to get the 1:18 aswell. I had a feeling the Zonda would feel scared amongst all the bigger models so I got him a buddy in the 456GT

Thanks, but you can't have them. The Diablo is not an 'ordinary' SE30, its a Jota (only 12 produced apparently).

I have returned to 1:18 models now this time I got a UT Models 993 Carrera S. I really like it, the quality is very good.....especially for something which cost me about half of what a HotWheels goes for

its not too bad actually, its like some of the AA models that have carpet in there instead of all plastic.
Its too dark here for a good pic but I'll post one tomorrow.
