Hey, it's split between 2 people; he can't have all the good ones. :rolleyes:
Aww, simmer down now. I was making point about the taste in cars more than anything!
@ AOS and a6m5.
Yeah i know you were kidding AOS, and a6m5, yeah it can seem to get a little weird in here sometimes :lol:, hence why i removed the post, as i thought it was maybe becoming a bit of a tired joke.
Well, I didn't want to say anything...... j/k

I saw it early in the morning, and was planning on reading it later that night. By the time I got home, it was taken down. :D
This. :eek: Is that actually going to be available to buy, or is it an interwebs exclusive?
Doesn't the thing look like a Treasure Hunt? Looks too good to be a mainline. I hope this car doesn't turn into another mainline impossible to find on pegs. :nervous:
Cool 'JL' Porsche aswell a6m5 👍, i'd be willing to do an old fashion 1-on-1 gun-sling with you, just get my hands on that car... and i don't even own a gun. :lol:
Thanks man. I finally remembered why it had to be silver, and why I had a soft spot for that particular 911: My uncle used to have a diecast of it. Sweet car, regardless. :lol:👍
They just arrived this morning, and are much better quality than the one i posted before.
And they are sweet. If you can get past those wheels, they are absolutely top-notch. :D:tup:
 
:drool: - Gasser '56 Chevrolet Bel-Air, is that a new model? Must buy.

'55, dude.

Mainline car, so it should be readily available in a couple months. I also hope it won't be hard to find. However, unlike up there with you all, where hot rod culture is red-hot, over here in Mexico, no one knows what one of these is, so when it hits the pegs it will be another peg-warmer. I can see it now: "dad, why does this thing doesn't have a hood?" -"dunno son, but here, grab this Ferrari instead". Has happened more than I can remember. I just laugh the hell out of myself inside, like "oh, normal people". I'll grab a fewwww of them.
 
As long as it's not "dad, I asked that man to reach up and grab that car for me up there, he took it and ran...... FAST". These things happen in real life ya know?

Love you.... :lol:
 
So I just lost a lot of Speed Machines I could have grabbed for cheap... $12 shipping; average $3.50 Speed Machines.....Elise, 911 GT3, Tesla, red NSX, XJ220 and so on. I should keep my Paypal topped every now and then.













:mad:


Also, I ordered 6 Ferrari 5-pack FXXs. I know a few of you needed one so contact me.

This is the $uper list so far for 2013:

- '72 Ford Gran Torino Sport;
- '09 Corvette ZR1;
- '73 Ford Falcon XB;
- '71 El Camino;
- '10 Ford Shelby GT-500 Super Snake;
- Acura NSX.

Well, well, well. Look what we got here. I'll keep my eyes out for ALL of them, as long they don't look like that 2013 Mustang GT from the pics Medigo posted.

It's too bad the 2013 Mustang looks like this:

New DBS looks alright, no FTE2:

New ZR1...no headlight tampo:

Now I like that DBS and the Vette looks good, but they should've made tampo lights to make it complete though, but they are on my 2013 Wanted List. ;)

@At1: Nice 👍. Now those are what I call 993s. I hope HW or MB do some 911 993 one day. I mean, those are the last air cooled Porsches that would stand out from the 996 and 997s I see regularly.

@Otaku: McLaren F1 GTR?!?! :eek: I would gladly ask for two, but I don't have the money though :indiff:.

Good to hear and thanks for the reply. 👍

I DONT REGRET A FREAKING THING. 'Sides, it doesn't happen anymore, that was in 1996, you know.

Speed Machines Audi R8

Also - a new one for Batman fans (photo off peg):

HW Quality Control seems to be suffering - more and more manufacturing and packaging mistakes come to light on the pegs - this truck wasn't fastened at all.

Indeed, my sentiments exactly.. so wish HW or MB would do a 993, I'll get one IRL when i finally strike it rich with a lottery win.. (wishful thinking) :lol:. IRL they're way more expensive aswell than the later 996, due to many considering them to be the last real Porsche 911.

@ a6m5. I hear you with regards to the wheels, i did a quick swap (pic in the custom thread), and i think it looks a lot better now, even though they're not the wheels i'll be using for the final version. 👍

@ Harry. Cool R8 👍
:lol: @ the Monster truck... it looks as though it's dead with it's tongue hanging out.

Cool Gasser Cano/R1600, must aquire one when it comes out, needs a wheel swap though (imo).
 
It was nice, now it's just not sufficient with most high end cell phone cameras. :grumpy:

Edit: Just picked up 5 more cars for my japanese collection. Guy was wanting to trade me for them or sell them to me, but decided that he'd just send them to me at no charge. 👍
