Actually I do, but I'm gonna have to put them on a picture disc in order to post them. It was a few years ago when the 333sp was at it's peak, the events took place in college station, Texas @the Texas World speedway. I saw the momo, scandia, and the Lista 333's race. I remember seeing Moretti, Papis, Taylor, Theys,and the late great Michele alboretto drive!

WOW AWESOME!!!!!!

that must be great, seeing several 333's and their drivers

It was great!!! You haven't lived until you've stood next to the fence while a Ferrari V12 comes screaming by at 200mph!!!!! It literally takes your breath away

The Ferrari F333 sp is from Hotwheels. I bought it because my mother likes it. And it is a new sort of a car in my collection.

Just added #'s 83 & 84 to my collection! An F40 and F512M both in red , and both from mattel.

i've added a couple of 308 rally versions and a white '84 512 TR from BBR. limited edition ofcourse number 1 of 100

I cleaned my collection yesterday...and it took me 4hrs!!!!!!

I have that same problem
Luckely i don't have to clean it that much

But I consider it a labor of love :roll:

that's true, you have to do something for your beloved collection

We've all invested too much time and effort (not to mention$$$$) not to take care of our collection. If you're gonna have a collection of that size, you have to take care of it....that's the way I see it

I know what you mean especially about the money.
I LOVE my collection, and i have several exclusive cars with are worth a lot of money.
Like i said before i tend to buy cars in the range of BBR & Heco Modeles

Dirk,

Do you collect as an investment :question: Or is more just the joy of having rare models :question: Or maybe a little of both :question: ...just curious. As for me, I don't look at it as money maker in the future. I will probably end up giving them to my future children,,,,,,,

I enjoy it having a rare collection.
A few years ago i decided only to buy limited edition Ferrari's, else you can keep buying. This way i'm focussed on certain cars but it's a different category of quality and price.

But how many people can say, oh yeah i have that 1/12th F50, or yes i have that one, or yep it's limited edition of 100, 200, 500 pieces :green:
I just LOVE that

I can honestly say that i'm starting to get a pretty rare collection :ex: :ex:

Which would you say is you're rarest model :question:

that's hard to say
probably all my Heco Modeles & BBR's cuz those are expensive and very limited buid.

But i think my favourite is my 1/12th F50.
I know of 6 in Belgium and i have one of them :ex:

Dirk,

Where do you buy most of your models from :question:

I have 3 stores where i'm a regular buyer, and when i see a store when i'm on the road, i stop and go in, or write down the adress and go back later.
I also check out all the stand on events

I get mine from a variety of places....Stores, catalog, internet, Ebay, and family/friends (although they have a hard time finding one that I don't have :green: )......
