I want that BMW too!

Got the Lexus LFA by mistake once and decided to keep it. It's a looker.

Just a quick update on the Mondial I bought. The model came quickly and well packed. The satin red paint is actually really nice In my opinion, but there were a heck of a lot of paint blemishes (looks like trapped dust particles) and even some paint cracking on the bonnet. This shouldn't really happen on an Elite model, so I'm sending it back for a refund. The model was fully sealed up in its box with no damage to it, so defo not the seller's fault

Sorry to hear the bad news. I would have returned it too.

I can.. I'll let you know.. I'm planning again to order one but this time the black stig haha! I think total cost for the white stig was $27 (I think that it includes shipping here in the US via USPS)

Here's one of my latest acquisitions (I've had four this week...)

The HPI Racing McLaren F1 GTR in Gulf livery. Die-cast in 1:43 scale. This car finished 3rd at Suzuka in 1997.

Gorgeous!! Lovely pics, too. I have been tempted by HPI's rallycar models on occaision, but I generally don't collect 1/43.

I don't either, but I think these are quite nice. They also take up less space on my desk at work.

I see you are a Valentino Rossi fan.

Here's a pic of I took of Vale at Philip Island...(I had photo credentials...)

Can't go wrong with either colour. Congrats, that's a milestone model!
