My first exoto models finally arrived today. Waited over two weeks. Yes some of the wrapping is still on it.

So, after much internal debate I finally got Zondified with this:

Thanks to Mac47 for this insightful review: http://www.diecastsociety.com/review-au ... evolucion/

Mac47's closing paragraph and his remarks regarding "shelf presence" helped me to decide that this is the Zonda for my collection.

Love the pearl white and the downward slant from back to front, gives the car an aggressive look. Grabs my eye even from across the room.

Not my favorite of the AUTOarts' variants of the Zonda but the detail is exceptional. Enjoy it!

Great additions all around, gents! :rockon:

Nice one! I also chose the white/black Revo over the black/blue carbon precisely because of the greater shelf presence. And I did not regret the decision.

This exoto Lola arrived today. I have a bone to pick with the seller though. It reeks of smoke and there's a paint chip on the spoiler, neither of which were mentioned in the auction. On top of that I was charged $47 for customs duties because he refused to declare a lower value for some reason.
