    Oh, yeah? Well, I named my daughter after my dream Lotus!

    I recently bought a 2016 Mazda 6 wagon - should I get one of these ...

    Yup.

    I still want to find a gray BRZ (I know they were around back in the day, but I never bought one), and an E38 BMW 740i Sport (as far as I can tell they've never been built in 1/18).

    I had an E36 3 series coupe. It was yellow, so I took it apart to paint green, but I'm afraid it got lost in my many moves.

    Oh damn. Rest in peace.

    I’ve got quite a few of his cars. I knew the story behind the stethoscope in the 944, and his Dodge Van (Dajiban) with the go-kart in the back is an amazing piece. It sits proudly on my ‘best Hot Wheels’ shelf.

    Went on a bit of a shopping spree adding to my collection of Le Mans winners. Had a couple of 15% of codes, so what can you do...

    Also, I did my first decaling of a tobacco car. Wasn't as hard as I though it was going to be. Now the Schumacher Bennetons I have are probably going to be more of a challenge...

    1982 Porsche 956 added the Rothmans logos:

    And I added Porsche's first victory as well, among others:
    20210806_184743.jpg

    So far I have the following winners in 1/18. My goal is to have every single one one day. A bit impossible, since in 1/18 many are not made. But I may fill the gaps with 1/43 eventually.

    Spoiler:

    '56 - Jag D-Type
    '59 - Aston DBR-1
    '66 - Ford GT40 II
    '67 - Ford GT40 IV
    '68 - Ford GT40 I (in the post)
    '69 - Ford GT40 I (in the post)
    '70 - Porsche 917K
    '72 - Porsche 917K
    '77 - Porsche 936 (in the post)
    '81 - Porsche 936 (in the post)
    '82 - Porsche 956
    '85 - Porsche 956
    '86 - Porsche 962 (in the post)
    '87 - Porsche 962
    '89 - Sauber C9 (in the post)
    '92 - Pug 905
    '93 - Pug 905
    '95 - McLaren F1
    '98 - Porsche GT1
    '99 - BMW V12 LMR
    '00-02 - Audi R8
    '03 - Bently Speed 8
    '04 - Audi R8
    '13 - Audi R18
    '15 - Porsche 919
    '17 - Porsche 919
    '18-'20 - Toyota TS050 ('20 in the post)


    Really angry at missing out on a few back when they were available. Mainly the Champion R8, and Autoart 787B.

    There are two new 787s out there. One by Spark, one by CMR. Spark one is expensive and CMR is from Germany only, and not sure on CMR quality. Also, Spark will be releasing the TWR Porsche from '96, and hopefully from '97 eventually. I'd really like to complete the '90s since that for me was what got me into sportscar racing.

    Wow nice pickups.

    And yeah about the 787B nothing quite compares to the AA one. I've only seen pictures of the Spark one and hadn't heard of CMR until your post. Both of them seem to be OK but have their own little inaccuracies.

    I'd say pick whichever one has the closest-to-accurate shade of glorious orange.
