Its kicking off in here. :money:

You will like that BMW, Sanchez. Its still the heaviest car I have, such a brick. Its gonna be my go-to diecast in a burglary situation.

Nice Mclaren too, Kraftig. I want the plain in silver, but it seems like everybody wanted that. (And you probably have it)

Nope, I opted for white instead. Wanted something different :)

Sooo nice. Its Tiff Needells fault that I like this car. (It also helps that it has a BMW engine)

Finally went and picked up the 365 GTB "high end" (more on that claim in my review later) and while I was there, I cancelled my order for the Minichamps M1 Jagermeister and the M3 GT2. The more I looked at pictures of them, the more I realized I didn't really want them anymore, so I got a jewel by Schuco instead. The first light formula 1 car with its engine in the rear end. Properly detailed model and my first Schuco.

Nice adds! What is your first impressions of the Schuco? I'd love reviews on both of them if possible :okay:

Yep both reviews are coming. Will take pics tomorrow hopefully. The Schuco is a lot better than I thought, and I already thought it was good from seeing pics. Really fragile though, and not very user-friendly.

Nice! That Ferrari is the business, awesome car. Its like a Ferrari muscle car.

Btw, I totally understand you cancelling the Minichamps duo. The M3 GT2 is not exactly great, and to be honest that M1 looks even less impressive in the pictures I have seen. They havent even bothered to paint the BMW kidneys black.

Ya I think Scuco is my favorite brand today. Their models are somtning special and resonable cost wise.

@HAROMASTER - Best reaction to model ever! :lol:

That's what I'm disappointed with the most. Not to mention the fact that the mould is so old now that the front compartment is still sealed.
