Definitely one of the best looking cars of all time. That V8, though!!!!You are just the luckiest son of a gun...God bless you, Lord March. Must be a real looker, and also sounds like a bat out of hell when you rev it, huh?

AutoART should release racing cars. Right now Spark is the only one producing any racing cars, Truescale have a very narrow selection, and Exoto are absolutely horrible at customer service and I've read many horror stories about them, and I find Minichamps rather overpriced. (Idiots still asking $200 for a GT2 M3)
The good news is, my '99 TS020 is on the way!
If a 1:18 TS010 is ever released, then I have no model left I really want to collect. Man, I'd buy 3 Truescale Le Mans 1:18 vitrines, and put each

Erm no? Go nuts these are between $400 and $600 a pop
Six-hundred frakin' dollars!?
Well, at least they are not as rare as we thought. But they are still super-expensive for scale models...

I got outbid on a model a few months back at $585....Six-hundred frakin' dollars!?

Christ, those cars do not go for cheap money. Fitting of their status, I guess.

It was a P4/5 I was outbid on not a segg

Oh, ok. The point can still stand though, that's insane value for a scale car. A P4\5 no less.

I'd only ever spend such money on an Exoto or CMC. AutoART is not even within the Earth's radius in terms of quality and detail of those two manufacturers.

Didn't you just say that Exoto "are absolutely horrible at customer service and I've read many horror stories about them"? Well, guess their quality doesn't match that. And CMC? What cars do they do, for example?

Exoto are bad but some of the cars are too good to pass.
Cmc are classic ferraris, Mercs and audis, bugattis and Maseratis

Just remember, there are some models going for $3000 upwards.
And then there's the gold Aventador sold in Dubai... $3 million+... more than a real Aventador.

Let's say that Exoto are like flipping a coin; You either get an astonishing looking model, or it arrives in bits. And when it does, good luck getting a replacement.

Ah, so Exoto is the scale model equivalent of playing Russian Roulette, I guess. Sounds wacky.

CMCs are what @Cano would buy, if only he just opened his wallet a little more.
And we all know from the Cars in General forum that Cano has discerning taste in cars.

^ I would kill for one of those Silk Cut Jags. Too bad Extorto prices went somewhere into orbit though...

AUTOart Alfa 33 Stradale:
Lovely little model, I need more Alfas now...
BoS Vector M12:
Yeah, I know it was a crappy supercar IRL, but hey, it looks cool

I have the same yellow laFa but not too happy with the paint job they did, feels rushed. Per ordered the model so got it at a 'normal' price. CK and Modelissimo now seem to have added 100Eur on top. The 33 is a beauty. I love the enormous amount of glass it has.

My LaF had a pretty good paint job IMO. Not quite AA, but better than the bulk of my Kyoshos. It seems I got lucky and got one with virtually no issues. Only one was a black scuff mark on the front bumper which I was able to quickly buff out. I ended up paying $150usd after shipping for mine.
Anyway expect a bit of a haul from me in the coming weeks, as I will have a bit of extra money to throw at models

Good news, the Porsche that I showed in this post has a Rothmans decal on the rear wing now too and it's all thanks to @cbarbosa for being nice enough to send me a spare. 
Interestingly enough it is a tiny bit too large, just like the other ones I had. I'm starting to believe that the model might be a little bit smaller than 1:43 as these were decals from two seperate companies.
I'm not fussed though. Still better than nothing!
