Next car to be unboxed and displayed is the Minichamps Mclaren F1. I was (and still am) trying to find an AutoArt for decent money, but that's not so easy. I choose this Minichamps, because of it's orange color. It replaces my old Guiloy piece, which was a very poor model.

Must say the Minichamps is not bad. The paint is very nice, and I also like the interior. Even the seats are made from some sort of fabric like material. Pleasant surpriced, and it really stands out when it's displayed.

The next one I found last friday is a Minichamps as well. It's the BMW CSL in white.

Seriously heavy die-cast model, maybe the heaviest i've got. It's a older model (although new in box), so it's a bit rough on some points, but it is at least proper die-cast, solid as a rock, fully opening with a pretty decent carpeted interior.

Looks nice next to the Alpina version of it.

As I collect by the motto; If you like it, just buy it, the cars in my collection are very divers. This time I came across the sunstar Lincoln Continental Mark III. I never bought a Sunstar before, so I googled it first and found the review on this site. It convinced me to buy it, and it arrived today.

I opened the (actually very nice box), and I just love it. For the money (1/3 of an Autoart....), this is directly one of my favourite models. If you like old american cars, or if you like cars in general, this is a must have.

Thanks renofan!!

My latest addition is the GT Spirit Aston Martin V8 Volante. I like it very much, bought it with 30% discount and it's actually a very nice model. I like the stance and shape, the paint is flawless and the interior is (for a resin model) very nice. Also fully carpeted. No QC issues at all.

Today the AutoArt Mclaren MP4-12C arrived. Was still on my list, and finally decided to add one. I like it.

Its a good model other than most came from factory with apparent rear suspension being way too low. Looks good with big brother.
