Awesome collection. I will have to take pics of mine and post them too sometime. Not sure how many I have. I don't think I have that many

Thanks. I am a student so I am a very cheap collector. Most I have found at the mall or Ebay for anywhere between $10-20, and the most I ever paid for a single model would have to be $35 for Porsche 959.

I started collecting HotWheels and other diecasts a little over a year ago. Now I'm nearly out of room, I've got so much stuff!! I mainly collect the 100% HotWheel 2, 2 and 4 car sets, plus since I used to work on Indy-Cars, I have a pretty stout collection of 1/64, 1/43 and 1/18th of them........


HardCard.

PS. What with doing mods to my Protege5, now I'm collecting diecasts, I'm nearly broke after a serious session on EBay!!!

Wow! Impressive ... you need one of the Kyosho 1/18 RX-7's, and there's a few places that have 1/18 RX-8's out now too. Very nice though.

How about some close-ups of your favorites?

DUDE!!! turbonium, that has to be the SWEETEST collection of model cars that i have ever seen! ive seen a lot of extensive collections before, but none that encompassed the variety that you have.

my favorites that you have- that silver with red leather S2000(holy s*** that is sic!), the white with blue stripes Viper GTS-R(is that the REAL GT2 version or the "1997 GTS-R version" that Maisto made? both are badass), the red Viper RT/10 roadster, the silver Viper SRT/10 roadster, and the Rosso Red Ferrari F355 F1 you have.

OMG but theres so many more of my favorites, like the Shelby Cobra 427 and the Ferrari F50 and the Dodge Copperhead and the Bugatti EB110 and the orange '97 McLaren F1 and the white Porsche 993 GT1 and the white Lamborghini Diablo SV and the 1996 Corvette Grand Sport and the British Racing Green Jaguar XJ220 and the yellow Ferrari 360 Modena Barchetta.......ooookaaaayy whoa, need to breathe, *GASP*, geez i need to shut up already.......

once again, killer collection man

Thanks, guys. Sorry about them close-ups. Last time I went home, I did not bring my camera. Though, next time I am home, I will post the close-ups here.
