Very nice collection gis that's the HotWheels GT3 correct? I found it for $15 US do you think it's worth paying that? I want the new wing design one or I'd get the Autoart version (I know that's worth the money). I think I've got to get that GT2 also Autoart right?

i can highly recommend the autoart GT2.really if its there and your goin to buy a model.BUY IT coz its really nice.

about my GT3.well yes its hot wheels and yes for £20 that i paid it was worth it but at the same time i can honestly say if i was there and there was an autoart GT3 instead i would have bought the autoart version.

the Porsche's seem to be to scale to all the other 1/18's atleast from AutoArt they are a company I would trust.

lol well no the porsches arent smaller than any other 1:18 model.perfect IMO

the supra........well this was a challenge to get and as im sure most of you fellow model collectors know that the Kyosho toyota supra is a rare model to get now as it went out of production a few years back.so to buy one e-bay was the only real way to get one BUT knowing its rare + e-bay = high price lol
now luckily witht he help of a old JW member who has gone missing now called JN396 he did the bidding for me and we followed it for days and luckily there was 4 other toyota supra models bein bid on at the time.and the one i was bidding on was the cheapest so far and obviously people kept it as if they werent bothered about that auction and was waiting for a surprise attack in the last seconds and we won,lol

i won the model at $165 then there was postage from the seller of $25 and then when the model arrived at my door we had custom tax to pay of £35 so (whatever £35 GBP is in dollers) the final price of getting the model into my possesion was well over $230

sorry for the long story but thats how i got it and now u can all call me crazy,lol

that is a bit pricey but Kyosho are high quality and they now make cars in partnership with HotWheels on some Ferrari's I've seen older ones though. Next time I go to the local shop I'll take a pic, It's been there for a while.
