i love that Lotus, but i missed it in the shop

luckily i have one already but maybe not as good, but it did have the JPS livery as standard:






and i've finally got this 1:18 Aston Martin DBS from Casino Royale (the DBS is probably my favourite roadcar), i saw it the shops when it was on sale in 2006 but didn't buy it, then instantly regretted it as it sold out and was then only available on ebay for crazy money (well over £100 even today). got it for £27 plus £4 postage as the ebay seller listed it as a DB5 and so it may have been overlooked by buyers who searched specifically for the DBS. once again, someone didn't know the market value of an item and so i got a bargain (same as the Schumachet Barcelona 1st Win Ferrari i posted previously).









has a gun in the glovebox like in the movie

Something different...



Thanks,
Iain.

one of the better looking of the new hybrid era, mostly because of the nose. i hate the stub noses of most of the field.

what is the thinking behind this collection? i thought it was just the world championship winning cars but it seems like it's quite random.

That one isn't part of the collection. I had a spare base and lid so I put that one on the base and put the SF15-T logo on the little plaque.

The idea of the collection is the most "iconic" F1 cars which is mainly F1 world champions but some aren't.

Two more arrived today

Just saw an advert that the F1 collection series is coming to Australia so i'll have to try and get my hands on some of them.

The F1 collection started not that long ago in Australia. Not sure what other cars will be part of it, but I'm hoping to see the 1997 Williams of Villeneuve (preferably with Racing over ?), 1998 McLaren of Hakkinen, and 1995 Benetton of Schumacher. Madotter, if you can are you able to show all the ones you currently have?

Looks pretty good so far. Do you plan to convert the 2005 Renault over to Mild Seven or will you leave it as it is?

I already have the decals but we've recently moved house so I haven't got around to it just yet. I also have some updated decals for the McLaren of Senna and some for the Toleman. Updates to follow soon

Moved.

Nice. In Australia, we are up to Issue 6 (Ferrari F2002). For the Ferrari 2007, will you convert it over as well?

No as the barely used Marlboro in that season (It got banned after Monaco) and it is the spec from Australia which didn't run Marlboro there anyway.

Thanks,
Iain.

Local newspaper is starting a similar collection, but with Dakar cars. Not the most detailed car ever, but still diecast and very sturdy and for less than 10 USD I have the paper, the car and a handbook explaining details and history of the car, along with interviews. You could call it limited edition, as it says only 12,500 were made.







Stats: 139 Starts / 7 Wins / 9 Poles / 5 Fastest laps

Long overdue I know but finally added my first Massa model to my collection as an early Xmas present for myself and had to start with this one;





Thinking of eventually adding 2002 and 2016 to complete the set.

EDIT: Also noticed something else, for some reason over the last nearly 10 years I came to believe my F248 Schumacher model was 1:24 but it's the same size as my new F2008 (which was apparently 1:18) so I must have been mistaken!
