With the exception of the 1/24 DMS and the metrobus the models are all less than 20 quid. The metrobus set is £45 and the DMS 1/24 is over £100.

Right I said I should be starting my collection at Christmas, well, it's been one a half weeks past but cut me some slack ok? 
Just completed my first ever purchase on both a Model Car and on eBay as a whole, a 1/18th scale replica of Mark Webber's 2003 Jaguar R4 by Minichamps for 14 Quid.
Bargain in my books. Should be with me either later on today (It's 12:13am GMT as I type) or tomorrow at the latest. I'll be sure to take some pics!

Ok last one now:
My first Jordan and also first Fisichella model. This is a Jordan-Ford EJ13. Was piloted by Giancarlo Fisichella and he won the 2003 Interlagos GP. The model has rain tyres as well as finish line style wear that we've been accustomed to seeing on various Hot Wheels models. I am very happy to acquire this model, it is one of few Minichamps models with rain tyres and also one of few if not the only one with race wear on it which I happen to be a big fan of.
This race had quite a lot of incidents. First off a little background. This was 3rd race of the season. Coulthard won the first race and Raikkonen had his 1st carreer win at Malaysia, the 2nd race. Fisi got a 1st win at Brazil, the 3rd race, quite possibly the only time in modern F1 times (last 10-15 years) a 1st career win followed by another.
At this point, MS was at 8 points, Raikkonen at 16 and Montoya at 8 points as well. Coulthard was also sitting ahead of MS at 10 pts (this is prior to Brazil race).
The race at Interlagos began on rain, with Barichello on pole (a fellow brazilian, who by the way has had terrible luck at Interlagos, he DNF'd in this race). Coulthard and Raikkonen both passed Barichello and Raikkonen pulled a nice move on Coulthard, and Montoya pulled an amazing move on Barichello as well. Later Schumacher pulled off an outside pass in the rain on Montoya, simply brilliant, and Firman (in the Jordan) spun out and crashed in front of Fisi actually (fortunately Fisi avoided it). This was followed by an amazing pass by Raikkonen on the outside of Schumacher and lots of other action, I'll let you watch the video.
In fact, Raikkonen was declared the winner when this race was red flagged and he was on the podium because of a weird F1 rule since Raikkonen was leading 2 laps previous to incident. However, it was later shown that Fisichella was 56th lap and not 55th and he was awarded the win. Incidentally, Brazil 2003 was Jordan's 200th grand prix and Raikkonen was deducted 2 pts since he was awarded second (8pts instead of 10pts for first). Also incidentally, Raikkonen would go on to lose the championship to Michael Schumacher by 2pts (although he would have still lost if he had been even on points, but it would have made it pretty interesting for the last race I think).
This race is one of the best races of the last 5 years, up there with Suzuka 2005, Hungary 2006, Silverstone 2003 and a very few others. In fact, Fisichella was really lucky to win since his car went on fire the moment the race ended, what a crazy race! :lol

Yup. Here's mine (posted 2 pages back):
Aston Martin DBR9 #59 - Le Mans 24hr 2005
David Brabham/Stephane Sarrazin/Dan Turner
Depends. Over here in Canada would probably cost me about $90cad to import the Solido. That's how much I paid for my AA one just recently. And the opening doors and bonnet, there's not much engine (or anything for that matter) to see with the opened bonnet and the interior isn't up to AA standards. The AA is also nicer exterior IMO. If you live in UK though, where the Solido is 25 pounds and AA is like 50 pounds, I can see people buying the Solido instead. Make yer choice.

The Jaguar R4 arrived today! In it's full livery from the 2003 Season, #14 driven by Mark Webber:
I'm really pleased with it, there are two tiny bits of damage (Nose and Camera hosting) but otherwise, I'm not complaining as it's my first car! Kind of inspried me to collect the remaining 4 cars Webber has driven for, '02 Minardi, '04 Jaguar, '05 and '06 Williams.
