make me an offer and I'll consider it, but it would have to be alot more than I paid for it.

There are usually 1 or 2 of them on eBay so you should have a look and maybe buy one that way.

Another Diablo to my collection - this time a mean black SV. I got this one on eBay for a pretty good price again.

The pics were taken outside since by the time I get home from work its too dark inside - so I decided to use my polarizer filter.

Very nice indeed in black!! This section of the forum is pretty quiet lately! I want a ferrai 250GT or 250 GTO for my collection now, but at the store they have so many fucking versions that I never manage to choose one

I know you mainly collect smaller scale models, but CMC are making a 1:18 250 GT SWB - but like all their models it will cost alot!

Quite nteresting! Obviously I was taking about 1:43 ones, and most of them are racing versions (I'd prefer a roadgoing one, but well).. basically they are all the same, but one of the one used at the Torino motorshow in 196x, the other in the Paris motorshow 196x, the one which raced the Targa Florio, the other which didn't race it...
I was wondering if it would be wise to pick a blue/yellow 250 GTO or if I should stick to a red one

In terms of the GTO I would go with red, but thats just personal taste.

MY first new model in about 2 months - couldn't resist this F430 even if it isn't perfect. The shop also had the 1:18 MC12, AMV8 (which I didn't know existed) and a nice Kyosho Miura. But I got the Ferrari fairly cheap compared to what some people have been paying for them.

I'm pretty sure the AMV8 was a HW.....but I might have been mistaken. It also wasn't a very nice colour - a funny shade of yellow/beige.

Nice one, I saw it at the store today too, as long as a yellow AMV8. Like you I didn't know it existed!
