@Zibby, Let me think of something. I must have something that I have that I can use to make a spoiler.

@Gautam What scale is the SLR??

@FiFan, LOVE that viper!

Nice to see that your Mother actually encourages it.
My mom hit the roof when I bought the CLK DTM!!

@Cyrus ...Umm..thats true for me now-I had to fight at your age for my thousands of hobbies :-)
I dont know why Indian parents inhibit their child's hobby,opposite that of the West (offtopic).

Same here. Luckily my mom doesnt know the price of these collectibles

but my wife gets pissed on my buying these expensive toys.

f1fan · 18th August 2009, 14:02

A little

Any idea on how to keep these beauties away from dust?
I have a glass cabinet with doors but within a week of cleaning, I see a layer of dust on them again

True in my case, to my mom most of them are gifted (few really are), others at discounted price (over 40%) and rest are worth few hundred bucks.

, But you can't hide facts with your wife, they are a clever breed.

I'm very lucky that way.

1. My mom doesnt mind me buying models because she knows thats only where I spend my money and no where else and

2. I dont have a wife

I bought a can of Formula One Wax couple of weeks back for my cars - by nature i am lazy and didn't get time to use it properly.

i was playing with the GTR and the Mustang (both black) and found that the gloss has become dull - dust and finger prints - tried cotton to clean it but didn't work that well.

Opened the can and applied a small amount on the cars and walllah! the result was mind blowing. the black shine is awesome.

Again feeling lazy - need time to apply the F1 wax on the Panda, M5 and the Silvia RC
