Very happy with these two recent purchases.

First is a 1/18 Porsche 3.2 Carrera Clubsport from GT Spirit's early days. I've been looking a while for one, but any that did pop up went for too much on Ebay. This one I got brand new, unopened, for a suspiciously low price and it arrived not a scam. :okay:

Second is a 1/18 Porsche 2.4 911 S from Schuco in a gorgeous blue I got on sale. Opening parts, great quality and super cheap? Win. :rockon:

Both look excellent, but I LOVE that Schuco 911S...that color is fantastic. If I didn't have AA's '67 S, I would have grabbed this.

Honestly, you're lucky to have the Autoart version, though. The Schuco is a very good alternative so I won't complain too much that I missed out on the AA one.

Nice additions. I got the Schuco 2.4 back in the day, nice though a little crude in some areas.

True, though this blue one seems to be a little better than an orange one I used to have so maybe quality has improved or I got a particularly good example.

Minichamps BMW M3/M4

It has been a ALONG TIME since I bought anything from Minchamps. I only collect M series cars, so these are welcomed additions!

I saw this global time attack M4 and now kinda thinking of getting the Minichamps myself and replicating it

:wow: :love:

It's a time attack car so the wings are probably just as big as they need to be 😂
