bah get a paper round

 

[Alex.]

nah- i cant be arsed

 

[Sting]

Nice to see you have ambition in this world CCX.

However, paper rounds do suck and dont pay great. Try and get to a local supermarket and see if they have any vacancies. At Tesco I get paid around £100 for just the two weekend days work.

Then you might as well forget the diecast hobby. It gets expensive, so I'm guessing its something you really can't afford.

try adding a few more 00's and then youll see what you can make a month

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

I refuse to give up my hobby.

i get £7.50 a week pocket money

in a month that's around £30. i can pay for a model every 2 months with that.

and any change i find goes into my big carlsberg bottle- which is my saving up for a real car 'fund'

 

[F1GTR]

Get a summer job man. 3.00 an hour is more than enough to fuel my diecast addiction!

Another one of the 6 arrived the other day, hadnt had time to upload pics but i finally got round to it.

1969 Chevy Nova SS 396
Its a limited edition of 5000 made, this one isnt numbered however, either that or its number 1, which i doubt..

[Arkangel]

I got my M3! It's amazing! I have to work in like 10 min so I'll post pictures when I get a chance.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

well was gonna wait a few months for the 1/18 wtcc leon to come out before i started collecting SEAT's but seen this with a BIN for £10 and couldnt resist

 

[Alex.]

TEN QUID? bargain!

 

[MagpieRacer]

Very nice catch!

Our model collection here has another addition..the Renault R25! Reduced from £39.99 to £19.99. Looks dam nice alongside my Williams FW26 Pics later..

 

[GM]

I have a very similar Seat to the one above, 1/43 Scale, limited to 2,000 made, £8.99 new.

I started collecting 1:18's 1 minuite ago, here are a few I'm going to save up for.

Please tell me if the company making the models below are'nt good quality, thanks.


TVR Tuscan S Convirtable - £12.00.

Mercedes Mclaren SLR - £20.00

Chysler Crossfire - £19.99

Lancia Delta HF Intergrallie - £24.99

I'm really annoyed becuase I could'nt find the Bently Speed 8 on antics in 1:18, if any can it's greatly appriciated, thanks.

 

[MagpieRacer]

Maisto and Burago are average, not the best..Revell i thought were model kits, as in build it yourself and havnt heard of ricko.

 

[daan]

Please tell me if the company making the models below are'nt good quality, thanks.

I'll just say that you get what you pay for.

I have one Ricko and it's.... meh... alright... I don't have any Revells or Maistos.
