Hello From a Longtime Reader Who Just Discovered This Forum

Post by DisposableApple » Sat Sep 24, 2022 6:49 am

Hello. As per title I've been keeping up with the news section of this website for years and just decided to join its forum as well.

The first model I've owned is Ferrari 348 by Bburago my mom gave me for Christmas. As I was only 4 I had no idea this was not intended to be played with like a pull back car and as a result the model was totaled in no time to say the least.

I especially loved the chrome gear shift so I had to take it apart(...)

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think I read this and F50 were the very models that established 1/18 scale as the norm in the high end automotive collectibles industry. I'm honored to have owned a model of such significance.

Since then my mom bought a Maisto from Costco on almost every special occasion and I owned around 7 by the time I was in the elementary school and I cherished them more than anything else.

Now in my 20s I own about 40+ models (mostly by AUTOart) and I bet my mom regrets buying me all those as a kid :rotfl:

I look forward to talking to you all and spreading the love :love:
