Well, here there is my little slot car collection...All the Group B cars were bought when the group still existed, so the cars are rather old (some of them don't appear here because they are too much broken...my father bought me those cars when I was about 4 o 5...:roll

.

BMW M3

Audi Quattro

Ferrari 288 GTO

Porsche Carrera RS

Lancia 037

My brother's Christmas present: a limited edition of the GT40s that won in the 1966 the Le Mans race. Their performance is really impressive, they are really, really fast and stable.

Ferrari GTB "Daytona", first in the Tour of France in 1972:

And these are the new acquisitions (a present from my girlfiend). They have xenon lights 8) :

Seat Córdoba WRC

And the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII WRC

Waiting for the next one...probably a Lancia Stratos...

As RC45 said to me:

look good, a nice collection you have

I used to have a few slot cars when I was younger, but stupidly got rid of them for some reason

The Daytona and the GT40s are the most realistic car I have in the collection. In the Ferrari, they have respected all the details of the real car: the engine is located at the front of the car, but the traction of the car comes from the rear wheels. That means that, as the real Daytona, the car weight is mainly concentrated in the front of the car which gives to him a very special behaviour.

Yes, their scale is 1:32, but I think you can find some car in 1:24 but they are rather strange...

Recently I've registered myself as member of a slot cars forum and a guy has said to me that my GTO has a good value due to its retirement from the market because of some problems with the sponsor of the car "Española de Video"...However, I doubt it costs a lot of money if it is second hand...
