Pagani Zonda F by Almost Real. My brother insisted that I get it over anything else and he was right. The interior especially was impeccably executed.

Lovely addition! It is a remarkable replica, especially for those that collect exotics!

Picked up a custom Autoart 991 GT2 RS, wheels are swapped with gold ones rather than black and the roll-cage was painted white. Goes very well next to my 997 GT2 RS in similar colors. Sorry, pictures are from mobile phone and bad quality.

Thanks guys! Thrilled about the Autoart 991, because I wasn't going to get it initially since none of the colors really interested me. Fortunately, someone did the hard work for me.

Thank you. Unfortunately almost every part of the car fell apart and I, a noob, poorly reglued those. Some parts would still fall apart after reguling them 50 times so I gave up on those. It's undoubtedly the most troublesome car I've ever owned but also the most satisfactory in terms of design, details, and materials used. I'm still very inclined to buy it in other colors after everything I've gone through.

Do second-hand purchases count? I just bought a Ferrari F430 by BBR. An extraordinary piece that exceeds all your expectations. I dare say you didn't waste a dime if you ever paid $800 for one in mint condition.

Yes! Be patient, likely these classics from BBR will go into production again.

So far only F430 Scuderia Coupe, Spider and Enzo have been announced. I really wanted base F430 with starfish wheels :lol:

Welcome! An excellent purchase :okay: I own one in Alpine White and I love it so much that I could stare at it for hours. I'd love to buy it in dark blue and Melbourne Red as well. Only if I had bigger net worth :doh:

As somebody already said, Yes. The only other one that I know of is Motormax and that is just no.

My retail therapy is still ongoing. Next up is McLaren 600LT by LCD Models. I'm not a huge fan of modern cars but my retail therapy could not be stopped so I decided to just go for it. This is also my first model by LCD Models and it is a perfection all around. Easily blows the competition out of water.
