#466227 Nice roundup... my faves there are the
body buck and the Spark Cobra.
My year was slower than usual, lack of must-have new cars, lack of space and funds.
(Also, the 1:1 swallowed a cr4pload of money this year.)
Until now, just 11 new 1:18s (an old one will return this week, though), and three 1:24s, and few 43s.
But also I sold 24 18s, and a handful of 43s, slotcars and a 1:12.
Just noticed it is the first year ever without new racing cars in 18... just too many out there now, and too expensive in the resin sector (GP Replicas' new Tyrrell 007 and Talbot Matra are must-haves, basically).
The 24s this year all are F1, though.
I concentrate on the 1970s right now, no way I want to have everything just because it exists.
New entrys so far:
Some moderns...
some Beetles...
more Beetles and a moviestar and a poster icon...
a goat double, one a surprise buy, the other one a long missed GMP classic.
And a Mopar whale.
Purple and orange were the colors of 2025... same as my childhood environment. ;-)
The sidekicks: a Ferrari flop from 1973, abysmal car but so nice.
And an almost forgotten pair of US F1 history, the Penske was actually a race winning car, no less.
And a beauty.
Shadow, a fave F1 team of mine.
Now, gimme the Parnelli F1... pleeeze.
