Nice additions once again, but you pasted the wrong code you must use the one with [IMG][/IMG] and not [img=]

Bought myself two slots today as a combined New Years and Birthday gift...

Scaletrix 1:32 Lister Storm LMP 900

This is an ultra fast car - a veritable rocket even in my inexperienced hands. The paint scheme is to die for. Has both front and rear lights...

Scaletrix 1:32 Porsche 911 GT3R

Nice car - a little tail happy. Just like the real thing.

I love my F-cars and wont get rid of any of them for sure ... I did some research for you and found the following site where you can get the 288GTO

Three slots in the last two days ..

1. 1/32 Lamborghini Countach LP5000S by Autoart



Awesome paint job. Nice interior. Only negative is that it is missing a driver. Very smooth out of the box. A must buy!

2. 1/32 Ferrari 360 Modena Challenge by Proslot


3. 1/32 Jaguar D Type by Carrera


My Gulf liveried GT40 should be coming in pretty soon...

yep the Lambo looks great, I've never really looked too closely at slot cars so what does the average one cost?

I would say between USD$30-50.

I am not sure about Oz$ but I would say pricewise it will be between hotwheels and Kyosho for 1:18.

was gonna say that the Lambo was too nice to be a slot car... then I saw the AutoArt name writen above it, jejeje... that explains it all!!!
Yeah Autoart makes good looking slot cars but Fly and Scaletrix are very nice too. The slot cars have been prettied up over the last couple years to attract diecast collectors (like me)

Two more 1/32 slots added this week:

1. Porsche 1987 962C - Repsol livery by Slot-it
2. Shelby Cobra Daytona by monogram



The 962 has a phenom paint job and the Cobra has one of the coolest shapes ever - very nicely detailed along with a spare tire as well. The slot-it cars are reputed to be among the fastest "stock" slot cars. Its a pity i wont get to race them till March as I am going on vaction and then straight back to California for 3 weeks
