The Scale Model Thread

Rocky_Balboa · 1st December 2010, 18:42

Coming soon...

Yes Yes Yes.. its a ’69 Camaro Z28R being imported straight from the US of A.
Its gonna be used 90% of the time on private roads and 10% time on tracks (hopefully). Reason being a LHD and registration issues here, so kinda illegal on public roads.

Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Edit:
I am unable to see the pic I uploaded. So here's a link:

SLS got from Merc official merchandise for 2500 rupees. Special discount on limited stock left, now over.

Cyrus43 · 4th December 2010, 07:28

Special Discount on limited stock? Boss, Mercedes India doesnt sell Model cars. So this is just someones generosity. It isnt "Special discount on limited stock"

Cyrus43 · 4th December 2010, 08:13

Oh damn, I forgot to add... I bought this for my cars.

Got a new setup at home and decided to take a few pictures... was in process of cleaning the cars, so took some before the dust flew off.

Cyrus Dikra - that's exactly my favourite car, in my favourite red colour too. It is the Lancia Delta HF INTEGRALE. It looks beautiful. It came to Delhi in 1990 for the Himalayan Rally. I saw it at the Hotel Centaur which is near Delhi arirprt and where we conducted the scrutiny. I took a short ride in it. The suspension was extremely stiff, the engine noise was beautiful. I don't recall what its result was in the rally, perhaps we can find out from Mr.Nazir Hoosein.

Now, where is my dark blue BMW M3?

Dear Ravi - thanks for your SMS. I appreciate.
