miveson Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I was sitting on 10 out of 11 for about 6 months......... I'm not saying anything about 2012 other than it should be significantly less than 2011.... Quote Slot Car Photos V8 Tipping Competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ember Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Yikes! Ummmm.... Colourful, aren't they? While there are many of your collections that make me more than a little jealous, Mark hon, this most certainly isn't one. Though I suppose it is sort of impressive to see them all together like that without price tags and sale signs. Quote Computers. They'll never catch on.

miveson Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) I suspect that the next thing will be the next Lotus 49........ selling like hot cakes overseas, especially in the states, I've seen stock inventories reduce from 90+ to less than ten in the last week or so... Phil/Embs - I appreciate the DP's aren't everyone's cup of tea.... oh well not much I can do about that. Clevo - not sure what is next.... have to wait and see....

kalbfellp Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Lotus 49 Those I like and have the latest in transit to complete my collection so far. Quote Phil https://www.hobartminiaturecarclub.com/ Email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I jumped on the Fly release of the Dp's,.... no way in comparison for looks or driveability with the Sideways stable,,,,,but good enough amongst their own. I like the Dp's, wish they had lights though (with an on/off switch simular to the litle carrera switches). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miveson Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 A few new cars to kick off the year..... First up the Lotus 49 Cosworth - looking at stock levels around the web I reckon they made about 5k of these. The GT40 as Clevo has previously advised is a cracker of a car, if you see it in the flesh you'll know what I'm talking about I needed to do some back filling on the Slot.It cars and finally got my hands on the Hydro (terrible livery yet it seems to command pretty good money on the market) Enough said about this lovely GT40 - 300 made apparently - not that you'll find that many around. And finally a car that has eluded me for quite some time.... missed out on purchasing it on so many occassions and I really wanted to get a sealed one. Well worth the wait.

Guest jazzbell Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Nice haul Mark. All very nice. Clevo done the honours and picked up a slot.it GT 40 for me too while he got his hands on some. regards shane a team thunderbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miveson Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Picked up the MRRC Cheetah today and I must say I'm very surprised at how nice is looks. This little car has been well worth the wait. Quote Slot Car Photos V8 Tipping Competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Miveson Great haul of cars so far mate, its good to see a bit of diversity in the brands. That MRRC Cheetah, does look the bussiness. Nice photo of it. Clevo Quote Resized to 83% (was 1006 x 146) - Click image to enlarge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miveson Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 A few cars added to the stable this month. First up the lovely MRRC black Cheetah - I reckon MRRC are on a real winner here, cars are selling out fast so if you want one, get in quick. MRRC have just announced another two Cheetah's (blue and yellow) and a couple of Cobra's for their 2012 line up. Next up is a sensational blue 250GTO from Racer's silverline product - pictures don't do it justice. Could this be the final Ninco Porsche 356? Lastly I picked up a couple of Mini-Z bodies, just waiting on parts now from a certain forum sponsor so that I can learn the plafit black art - god help me!!!!

miveson Posted April 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Well we've been waiting long enough and even after the car being changed it's still the prettiest L34 of the bunch, far nicer than the other yellow ones. It does look much better in the flesh and if you had to pick one to take home of the 3 made then I have little doubt this one would be the top seller.
