Yep thats my Ferrari collection. Of course now the F430 Coupe, 612 Scaglietti and the 599 GTB have been added to what you see.

About my favourites it has to be the 1:18 Knight Rider KITT which comes with a lot of features including the working front red scanner.

Another one is the 1:18 Jordan 191 F1 the car in which Michael Schumacher drove his career's first F1 Grand Prix.

No dude not yet reached the magical mark of 100. I have around 70 1:18 cars. I'm adding to my collection slowly as I dont buy from shops here anymore. Everything you get is so common. I get my cars from the US off Ebay. That way I get all rare models which are not available here.

Cyrus43 · 2nd September 2007, 23:47

hmm..tell me how u do it through ebay..do you need a credit card??dp you need to give some kind of assurance payment?

Cyrus43 · 2nd September 2007, 23:50

i am sure all our readers would like to know how it is done...if you dont mind

Rahul14 · 3rd September 2007, 00:25

Hey Dippy, do you buy the models off the eBay Stores or from private bids?

khanak · 3rd September 2007, 05:44

the best way to buy off ebay is by using paypal.

Dippy · 3rd September 2007, 09:34

@Cyrus:

My cousin in the States who has an Ebay account buys the cars for me and sends them over when someone is coming. If you go through the Ebay shipping thingy, turns out to be very expensive sometimes it costs more than what you buy the car for.
