Once again, top quality additions dude! The Cobra is a must I guess

Got a GT40 recently - my first. I wanted the Gulf GT40 but it was out of stock for a long time

Its an awesomely fast and stable car. Even in my amateur hands it was a veritable rocketship. Along with the Lister LMP900 this must be the easiest car to drive quickly...

I received a couple of slots last week. I am posting some stock pictures of these cars as my camera is home and I wont be seeing it for another 4 weeks. I will post the real thing when I get back to Big H.

1. 1/32 Carrera Ferrari F2002

2. 1/32 Carrera Ferrari 575 GTC

3. 1/32 Carrera Ferrari Enzo

I also bought 2 1/18s - Ferrari F355 Spider (red) and Ferrari 512M (red) both from Hot Wheels. But as all of you have these cars, there is no need to post pictures

For Ferrari fans, the following slot cars will be available this year:

- Ferrari F430 (Red or Yellow or Silver)
- Ferrari 512BB LM
- Ferrari 166/212 - bit bulbous to my eyes
- Ferrari F2005 - Schumi and Rubens
- Maserati MC12 Racing version - not a Ferrari but awesome in its own right
- Ferrari 575 GTC - multiple race schemes
- Ferrari 250 SWB (1/24)
- Ferrari 330P4 (1/24)

Nice.

I wish they (Carrera) would fix the ugly wheels on the Enzo - and I see they are using them on the F430 as well..

I may have to use a spare set of 575GTC wheels improve the Enzo's.

sameerrao · 04-17-2005, 02:33 AM

Yeah! The wheels on the Enzo are really plain Jane.... The 575 is nicely detailed though...

Exoto 1/32 1968 Lotus 49 - Jim Clark - Winner of Kyalami, South Africa

The second coolest looking F1 car in my book after the 1967 Gurney Eagle Weslake

Good Exoto detailing as usual.

Its been a month since I last added on to my collection. I thought it was time to add one or two cars to my collection ... but this time I went really bonkers - I bought a lot of them.

This is my first real serious foray into 1:43 scale. I had a few earlier when I first got started collecting but then I focussed on 1:18 and 1:32. The problem was that there were a couple of Ferraris I wanted that seemed to be only available in 1:43 or were exorbitantly expensive in bigger sizes.

So I bought 13 models

I rationalized this (don't we all try to do this with our addictions

) by saying that this a Christmas gift and New Years gift and birthday gift (coming in a few days) all rolled in one. The pain in the wallet sort of ebbed away but not completely.

I opened one box and pulled out 5 models - the rest will be opened on Christmas Day and on New Years (which also happens to be my b'day)

1/43 Bang Ferrari 250 SWB - Stirling Moss

This was the car I was lusting for a long, long time and now I got it! Same for the next one!

1/43 Brumm Ferrari 312PB - Jacky Ickx and Clay Regazzoni

1/43 Bang Ferrari 250 TdF - Jean Behra

1/43 Best Ferrari 290MM - JM Fangio

1/43 IXO Ferrari 375 Plus - Le Mans Winner

Gorgeous Ferraris you have there.

I wish them in 1/18 :x-mas:
