Is that a red Pagani Zonda I see on the left second shelf from the bottom? I want that red Lamoborginin Countach on the right. My favorite an to me the best Lambo ever made.

Next on the to buy list:

I started collecting 1:18 scale cars from movies. mostly F&F but i have some Bond Cars, a Dazed & Confused car and a few others. total 15-20. sorry no pics they haven't made it out of storage since i moved.

Speaking of movie cars.......does anyone have either the "Wraith" or maybe the "Road Warrior" car? I have the "Road Warrior" model that I bought from a hobby store, but haven't put it together yet. I guess it shouldn't be included in this thread since it's a plastic model.

Aoshima makes a 1/18th diecast of the Road Warrior V8 Interceptor but it is pricey and you will likely have to import it. Try www.HLJ.com (Hobby Link Japan).

Some of my teeny collection

mostly hotwheels, yeah I open them (I know big no no), the ones with hoods up are mostly Ertl


I'm a bit of a Dukes fan





Have a blue 72 Skylark I always want to sand off one of these 1:18 scale diecast and paint it like mine, but havent had the heart to do it yet. I did do it to a hotwheels, see the last link, turned out ok, I probably shouldn't have tried to do the window chrome edge.

Nice collection by the way.

This is a really cool thread. I like to see waht folks collect when it comes to automemorlbilia. Just cool to see. Marked as a favorite.

Roger, Hobby Town sells 1:18 scale wheels.
I've also found some online. The variety is getting better.
If I can find some links, I'll send them to you.

I've got a few (under a hundred) Hot Wheels, Johnny Lightning, and Matchbox cars.
Have a handful of 1:18 cars.
Only a few of any of them are still in boxes.
I like to pick them up and look at them, too.
