Hello to one and all

I was just wondering if anyone else out there makes or collects diecasts.

I myself make and collect will post a list if this thread gets interest.

Yes I do indeed, don't have as many as I'd like - but have a good selection.

The majority are production cars, however I have quite a few racing cars - such as the 1998 Porsche 911 GT1 driven by Mcnish in the 1998 Le Mans 24 Hours, Bernd Schieder's 2003 DTM Merc, Jager's 2000 DTM Merc and others.

I collect models, most of them are of cars driven by a certain Mr Johansson. You can see the collection on my website, link in my sig line.

Well you would be able to see them if the website was working today.

I want the 009 Aston DBR9 from last year, can't wait for it to be realeased.

I have a collection of about 15 diecast including a couple of real valuable pieces, which are a Dale Earnhardt Sr Nascar and a 1:18 Jackie Stewart Minichamps car from one of his championship years, which is on sale in a shop at Brands for over £100, and I paid a tenner for it

Well as this page seems to be getting some interest I'll start

I have about 25% of all the winners of Le Mans
One of which is technically illegal. The thing was that the special 1982 Porsche pack Minichamps made was meant to go out with Racing instead or Rothmans. And a few escaped the factory before being noticed so technically i shouldn't have it.

A few McLaren F1 GTR's

Prototype W196

Many from WSC mainly 1983-1989

Thats about it unless people want further detail

I have a road going Mclaren F1 in grey, would love a GT-R though.

Also got a 1995 factory Ford Escourt from the Sanremo Rally, and Lewis Hamilton's Mclaren MP4/22.

I want to start collecting some of the Group C Sportscars, cause they were awesome cars imo.

Sorry should rephrase that

#59 Le Mans 1995 winner Ixo
#38 Le Mans 1996 BMW Dealers ONLY had to by for £120 but have seen on internet selling for £190

#51 Le Mans 1995 kit still under contrsuction

Deano, I've found Spark and Minchamps the best for Group C and I would stay clear of Quattrzo as they are of poor comparision

Spark are said to very good, Minichamps I'm sure about (as I have a few of there models).

Cheers for that people, I think Spark would be place to start considering the amount of cars that they have on their website

Trust me Spark, Red Line, and Bizzare are the best unless you enjoy sticking your fingers together and getting paint under your nails and if you like that I can direct you to a Very VERY good interenet shop that caters for Motorheads who like models

Oh another tip, GP Legends don't stock many Spark models, only Audi, Pescarolo and Peugeot Le Mans cars.

These are good sites: http://www.trax-models.co.uk/Trax/Pages/sportscar.html
