What's the quality like on those Hot Wheels Elite cars? Are they very good?

 

[Eric W]

This one just arrived a few minutes ago.

 

[TB]

Sam's Club has their yearly stock of 1:18 Maisto's on sale for ~$13USD again. I might have to look into picking up some company for my Merc.

Favourite design of car. Ever.

That's the Type57 Atlanta coupé?

You know the Type57 actually was just a chassis and that the coachwork was dictated by the buyers preference?

Very few in existence, I'm about to take ask Ralf Lauren for a game of poker to win his model. Now if I can only get his number......

Its a Type 57SC Atlantic this car is ralph lauren's car before he restored it to the black one, i did consider getting the black one but i really feel that black hides too many details plus prefer that it looks more like jay leno's even though thats a replica of a replica...

 

[noisiaturismo]

Bought a Alfa Mito and a Lancia Delta

2 for €3

 

[Wyvern_64]

I got this Audi R8 LMS for $90 yesterday:

Came straight from the Audi forum shops in Ingolstadt. Original price was over 100 euros. This thing is beautiful, the amount of detail is incredible.

 

[JacoJa]

1/18 Red Bull RB7.

I didn't even know they made a 1:18 scale of this car until today. I've been waiting for this model to arrive for the past year. Did Minichamps have licencing issues maybe?

Here is the newest addition to my collection.

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

[motortrend]

Looks sweet 👍
I'm looking to get a new model, just not sure which one to choose. I'm between these 3, looking for other opinions as I just like them all.
Group B Quattro:
This one looks great and would be something different and the first racecar in my collection

3.3 Turbo:
This is a car I really love but since I already have a 1:24 model of it I'm not sure if it's worth it. On the other hand, I have a 993tt that I'm fixing up that would accompany it, and that would look nice.

Finally we have the NSX:
I've wanted this model for a while, and it has some great details and nice features like pop up headlights, and I like the real car almost as much as the 930, it's definitely in my top 10 favorite cars.

So, which one to choose?

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

just ordered 2 exotos

NSX, hands down.

They are beautiful! But unfortunately $1100 for two models is way out of my budget.
