  1. wow! and i thought i had an obsession! that is a cracking Group C collection
  2. we were going to go again this year but the prices for 'organised' camping are obscene now, they wanted £900 each person to share a frigging tent in a field! Interesting that they still had availability as late as last week, wonder why..... and thats before you add fuel, food and beer (10-12 euro a pop) Said we will go back to basic camping next time like our early years, just to make it cost-acceptable, plus you get nicely immersed in the whole 'spirit of Le Mans' vibe. Just a bit harder on your back in your 50's 😅
  3. 86' here too Beaky, thinking along the same lines! mine is a January 86' though so does that mean next year is fair game for me? Cant wait to give the middle finger to the thieves that be!
  4. i love that cabinet in the last pic, clean lines and lit well, the models really stand out nicely, what a display of F1 cars too. The black background one in the post looks good too, makes the car colours pop.
  5. yes it is!
  6. this thread is a menace to my bank account 😀 got this on the way in 1:18, thinks thats at least 4 Mclaren F1 gtr's now,
  7. good lord, i would have spent a kings ransom in there 😅 damn, and i was in Tokyo just a couple of years ago! didnt even cross my mind to go shopping for these ☹️ mind you the wife wants to return to Japan (and we both loved it) so there is hope for the future 😁 I am collecting the Le Mans 1:43 series at the moment, get two cars every month, have had some beauties so far but my shelves are filling up fast, need to build some more! This month i got the Ford GT LM and the Ferrari F333SP
  8. wow bigger operation than i thought, would love to work there!
  9. Forgot this one in my photos, still looks great all these years later
  10. they look great, but that price?! f**k me, bonkers per tyre price. How do they justify them being twice the price of an MPS4 ? Not that i think an mps suits our old cars anyway, too grippy and modern looking in my humble opinion. Love the fact you can run 9 & 11" wide 😎 superb!
  11. Nice https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFaee7VoMtg/?igsh=MTlwY3YyN21hc3ZiaQ==
  12. Just been reading about Bernie Ecclestones 69 car collection of F1 and GP cars up for sale, wow, he has the full scale size of what we collect as miniatures 😀 valued at £500 million 😅. Be interested to know what cars are on your shortlists in 1:18 I’ve already collected most of my all time favourite race/sports cars at that size but still more to get over time. I can’t afford the real ones so these give me pleasure to look at every day. on my short list:- 1970’s Ferrari 31T Mclaren f1 GTR Aston DBR9 Ferrari 288 GTO Lancia 037 Sure there are a hundred more!
  13. Got this 1:18 beauty incoming I’ve had a large black and white print of it at Le Mans on my wall for 15yrs Kremer 935 LM winner
  14. That is a Jager obsession 😀 cool collection.
  15. Some of my collection nice, i nearly bought that Jagermeister 935 this week, looks stunning, only held off as i have the 962 in that livery and now seen an alternate livery i may buy
