Ooooh... nice Exiges there!


So here's the one I bought today. It's a promo of the Suntory BOSS coffee. Unlike the ones from UCC, this is a pull-back action scale model:

Fancy the Diablo SE30 Jota?

 

[AOS-]

Nope. Like the wheels, don't like the paint. It's like 4 shades too bright.

A Diablo is one of very few cars that look BEASTLY in dark purple.

Dude, find the same M3 with a rollcage. That's a variation. The rollcage is apparently set to be a removed from this day forth.

 

[RCKakashi14]

But seeing GT6's car list, the SE30 Jota deserves to be included. Though the Diablo GT is more than enough for me to be happy.

 

[AOS-]

I don't know anything special about the Jota Diablo. All I know is that that purple needs to be darker.

Like THIS dark.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Never really liked pull back and go cars.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Hmmmm.... I'm afraid it's not the purple you'd expect.

What's so special about the Diablo SE30 Jota? It's that for people to have a Lamborghini that has a legendary nameplate on it. Though the "Jota" is more of an upgrade kit for the SE30, and it's said to be not street-legal, but most owners did convert them for road use.

 

[photonrider]

You guys know I'm a fan. This SUCKS.

My bad, mate. My bad. Nice cars as always, but I especially like the Matchboxes. I got to get my hands on that R8. 👍

I appreciate the support, as always.

No support from me; you don't deserve any sympathy with cars like that.
Haven't posted any of my recent scores for the longest time - busy trying to wrap-up my GT5 game before the bombshell lands on us come December 6th. I know many of you don't play any more - but I'm still into it - and still buying cars that are reflected in the game.

The collections in here seem to be growing and growing - storage wars going on?

 

[AOS-]

Hmmmm.... I'm afraid it's not the purple you'd expect..

I'm afraid I wasn't being clear. I wasn't saying it doesn't match the actual car. I said a Diablo looks baller with a deep dark purple.

Like this dark:

It's totally stealth at night.

 

[CodeRedR51]

@AOS - Pic of said car? Can't remember.

Only thing I wish I had of yours is the money to buy all the cars I want.

 

[AOS-]

I still got the matchbox box for it.

Also, did you come across any HW Classics Madd Propz at the meet? I'm looking for a few more.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Negative on the Madd Propz. And I always look at the Classics hoping my luck will turn around and someone will have a 240Z.

 

[Cano]

score.

 

[a6m5]

I love the BOSS Diablo, Kakashi, and congrats Cano. 👍👍

The collections in here seem to be growing and growing - storage wars going on?

Exactly why I've been cutting back on purchases, shedding some excess, opening some of the cars(loose cars are more compact!). I like how compact these cars are, I've decided that I want my collection sort of compact, too! 👍

P.S. Ben's Ninja Turtle monster truck's epic.

 

[AOS-]

So apparently the first editions '59 Impala has a gold 7SP variation....that nobody nor database told me about.

Part of me is upset because the seller isn't going to do International.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Just browsing ebay and came across a couple interesting cars I will try almost anything to add them to my collection. Details tomorrow...

 

[photonrider]

Kakashi has no idea how many barrels of jelly I've rolled his way.

I noticed Kakashi's little plastic cases, which was what bought to mind storage again - we've had this convo so many times before, heh - one of the things with storage, in my own life, is that I try to store for easy accessibility. I have various collections in separate boxes - for instance one would have all muscle cars, another only Corvettes (which of course is American Muscle, but is a 'separate' collection.

I must have a huge quantity of loose cars scattered around - or else I'm not happy. Lucky for me, I have a room set aside for only this - just cars, cars, and everything cars.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Kakashi has no idea how many barrels of jelly I've rolled his way.

Hmmmmm... what should I do?

 

[photonrider]

Reduce on the barrels by posting cars we don't like.
When we say 'Bah! YucK.' stuff like that, makes us feel better.
Jelly is a lot preferable to Cano's spitting and swearing, though. You have a great collection going there; the Jota is a jewel. Now . . . Jarama?

I store mine in these boxes, in the closet. Older main line cars, I have put them away in a larger storage cases(pretty much a time capsule at this point!).

One & only car I have on display at the moment:



'32 Ford Stretch-Rod by M2! that's a pistachio in the driver's seat....

What a tease......

Not so sure if I can do that.

I'm not a fan of the Jarama though, and I still haven't bought that red Jota.

Those coffee promo Lamborghinis provide a nice distraction!

Next could either be the Countach LP400 or the Aventador LP720-4 50th Anniversary.

 

[photonrider]

I'm not a fan of the Jarama though, and I still haven't bought that red Jota.

Darn - I'm a fan of both. We don't see stuff like that over here - it's either find it on eBay or import it ourselves.

Haha . . that pistachio is one lucky nut, a6m5 - you are even sillier than I am.

Well . . . I better get back to my TT. Nice talking with you guys - got to post some pics soon, or I'm going to feel left out of the gang, 👍

 

[RCKakashi14]

The Kyosho Lamborghini Veneno 3-car set will make my wallet cry. Though I haven't seen one being sold here...

If there is a next Kyosho target, then it would be the V12 Vantage Zagato.

 

[a6m5]

Haha . . that pistachio is one lucky nut, a6m5 - you are even sillier than I am.

Silly!?



Yes, I have a smiley face on it.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Here's the complete set of the Suntory BOSS Coffee Lamborghini Collection:

 

[CodeRedR51]

What a tease......

Ok, one of them has been finalized. It was listed for $9.99 + $8 for first class shipping (ridiculous) but it was also listed as Buy it Now or best offer, so I submitted a $8 + $4 shipping offer and he accepted!

Here she is, been looking for this car for almost 2 years, first one I have seen on eBay:

The other one will remain a secret until I get a message back from the seller.

 

[DwightSchrute12]

Nice. 👍 Need that yellow Seagrave, too.

They only had one of the Seagrave too. I don't know if it was just one new case stocked or what, but slim pickens. Plenty of some new submarine thing though.

Hadn't seen that VW before, pretty cool. 👍

Yeah that one was a surprise too, had completely forgotten about it.

Congrats on the MB cars Dwight! Hope to find the 1M soon...

Don't know if I'm late or not... But there's the new Holiday Hot Rods.

Thanks! And yeah, none of those Holiday Rods interest me at all. Probably a good thing since I'll never find them anyway lol

 

[CodeRedR51]

If anyone wants any of those Holiday Rods and don't expect to see them near you, let me know. I saw tons of them at the meet last night.

 

[Spacegoat]

Gimme some of that jelly already.

Ooh, sweet Exige's. 👍 And Dat Diablo Kakashi posted. 👍

Yes, I have a smiley face on it.

Of course you do.

 

[a6m5]

I think I do find couple of the Holiday Rods interesting this year, but not really enough to go out of my way to get them. If I see it at Walmart, I'd get that green Camaro, but that's about it.

I had to look up this "submarine thing". I like that. I'd probably get it for me & my nephews. Thanks for the heads up. 👍

P.S. I had no idea how those RLC points system worked, or how to check them even? Is it right that they actually give you a car per 9 points for free? Not even shipping?

$8 shipping... Sounds like it's a extremely scarce car though. Congrats & I can't wait to see the next one. 👍
