I thought you had the E class in saloon and not in estate.

Won BMW 7 series (E65) pre facelift kyosho on ebay in excellent condition with box for half the price the car is worth.

I have the Saloon in the Current Spec and the Station wagon in silver like yours. Kyosho. Was my first Kyosho too.

Also, there was a SL-Black in slver, buy got the White as the SL63 was white. I like MAtching cars.

@Cyrus43:Congratulations on the new rides!That Aston One77 is stunning.I have a Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG Black by Minichamps in grey.Bought it from Gift Centre on a trip to Mumbai last month.Are all three of your latest aquisitions by Mondo?On a different note,isn't the MPH Show the one that featured TopGear Live?Dude,I'm jealous.

@Anyone Who's Been To Automania:The website mentions they have the Bentley Mulsanne and the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG in stock.Can someone who's visited the store confirm?Also,since you've checked out the store already while I don't get to go there until next month...dude,I'm jealous.

Is mondo and motormax the same company like bburago and maisto. Cause both have the same Cayenne Turbo, M3, TT etc..

Cyrus43 · 7th November 2010, 03:53

No. they are different. Mondo makes better cars, but the Quality feels Flimsy. They look really really good in the showcase though. And thats the end of it. On the other hand, Moromax makes some great cars and has good quality too. I guess Sheer Build Quality wise, probably they are all the same, with maisto being slightly heavier, but Mondo looking slightly better in some cases. However, the Mondo M3 is better than the Motormax.

What i mean to say is that some of mondo and motormax models are same, example cayenne turbo, m3, slk amg, tt and others. Check some of their models.
Maybe they are manufactured by same company.

Cyrus43 · 7th November 2010, 05:26

Yeah I have, but they arent the same. for example, the Mondo has an openable boot on the M3 and the motormax doesnt. Also, the motormax uses a Different system of fastening their wheels as compared to mondo.

Cyrus43 · 7th November 2010, 05:59

here are some better pictures.

zibby · 7th November 2010, 07:40

Thanks for the info about mondo and motormax, both m3 look similar.
Anyways your SL black looks nice in white, in earlier photos it didn't look that great maybe cause of flash.
Where did u pickup the gto from, ebay?

@Cyrus: The 288 GTO is one model where I feel the Hot Wheels is way better than the Bburago. I have a Hot Wheels in my collection. Nice pictures though.

Isn't this the one model where the scale thing goes slightly haywire? If I remember correctly, its a 1:16, not a 1:18.

Or is it?

At the price I got it, Im not complaining. I needed a GTO so I got the GTO. (dippsie dont take it in another way! im talking about the 288GTO... )

Cyrus43 · 7th November 2010, 16:47

BBurago sure did a very very good job on these!

SuperSelect · 7th November 2010, 19:25

Been off this thread for a while..
Veldeep: Superb bugatti !
Amit: Neat Alpine man !
Cyrus: I think you're going completely looney in the UK.

Jokes apart, you're buying some fabulous stuff..

When I was a kid, I had a huge collection of Hot Wheels cars. Somewhere over the years, I lost many of them but while recently cleaning up the old drawers came across a few of them still in pretty good condition. Here are the pictures of them some Hotwheels, some non Hotwheels.

I also chanced upon an old Premier President scale model in my collection, that requires restoration!

, will put up pictures of it soon.

A Bugatti most probably, this one is from my Hot Wheels collection

A dump truck, complete with a tilting dumper

A garbage truck. It previously had a detailed garbage recycling unit on its back, but its now lost unfortunately.

A Hino fire engine. I received it as a gift from someone who had gone to singapore. It's quite detailed and the ladder extends upto 15cms!

Another car from my Hot Wheels collection. It was my first "restoration" project when I was doing my engineering! At that time, I had hand painted it, though now I would still like to spray paint it this time properly
