Dear Patrons, friends & well-wishers,
We're late again. Sorry, but it has been quite hectic for both Clyde and myself over the last few months. And a computer hardware problem compounded our problems.
Here is the link to our latest issue of Autofest City News:

Happy reading & of course, motoring!
Best regards,

@amit V8:Thanks.Actually,only the 340tb in the upper left-hand corner is a Bburago.All the others are Hotwheels including the yellow 308 GTB Quattrovalvole,which is a joint product from Hotwheels and Kyosho.The 1:43 FXX in the middle of the lower half is from an Italian company called LookSmart(funny name,that).
@Cyrus43:Thanks man!And no,I'm not Vincent.
@RPMPKDMFF,AltoHoncho and agspins:Thanks guys!Almost all the models are in 1:18 scale except the 1:12 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish(from 'Die Another Day'),1:24 Rolls Royce Corniche IV,1:43 Rolls Royce 100EX,1:43 Rolls Royce Silver Seraph and 1:24 Lincoln X-100 Presidential Limo(JFK's parade car) in the first picture and the 1:43 Ferrari FXX in the second.I know they're not very clearly visible.Better pictures will come in a couple months.
As far as makes go,you'll find a bit of everything.Right from AutoArt,Maisto,a few Bburagos,Kyosho,UT Models,Franklin Mint,Hotwheels,Signature,Yatming,Jada Toys and many more.Most of them came from good-old Gift Centre.
Also,what you see in these pictures is little more than half the collection.I just got some Minichamps,too.
Nope. The UT's I cleaned out, and there is not a single Jada with him. Which Minichamps did you get?

well i am only talking about these new norev models which are horrible in fit, finish & quality & costs too much.
don't compare an AA with these NOREV models. there are a hell & heaven differences between them.:)

i totally agree with you on that.
but i have a question and i contradict myself.
why do Mercedes models have jaw dropping prices?
Anyone know where I can get a TATA NANO scale model?
@Cyrus43:My UTs, I've had for quite a while.That includes 2 McLaren F1 LMs(both in Gulf livery).My Jadas(I've got just 3-4) are from Dubai.As for the Minichamps,I got the Bentley Continental GT and an Azure,both identical to the ones in your picture of the stock at Gift Centre,and also a Bentley State Limousine,the Queen's bespoke ride.I would have loved the new Mercs and the Morris Minor Cabriolet but the Bentleys,I got last month have dried up my funds:-(
The Minor is already gone. Got Sold out the First day I believe. The Mercs are good, but somehow even though I wanted the GL first, now I dont.
One of my latest acquisitions. A 1:48 Rolls Royce Phantom V manufactured by Dinky Toys/Meccano. This was the first Dinky to feature opening windows... it also features independent four wheel suspension with rubber tires and also a driver. This model was released in 1962, it is a pre-owned vehicle.
WOW!! A Proper Collectible.

a nice model, great collection.
She looks well detailed Salil. And the Roof looks like it is absolutely identical to mine.

Saw it last year at NK - Stockholm. It looks too gross and the price was :eek:
But if some arabs can buy the 1:1 version of this , then I am sure there will be takers for the 1: 18 as well.
That doesn't look like Swarowski crystals to me. It looks more like golf ball dimples. Where was it parked ?
