Ha, I've seen that orange Diablo too. Saw it maybe a year or two ago near USC as I was walking back from class--needless to say I flipped out. Fantastic collection! | ||

LOL, EF, it's funny you should mention that; on Sunday, i was at Exoticar in Manhattan and picked up 5 cars- the most i've ever purchased at one time... They had a 550 Maranello but i passed on it, to pick up some other cars, citing that it's too much like my 550 Barchetta and that i'd get one later on, down the road, after i've acquired all the models i don't currently have. Although i've not yet been able to post pictures, the 5 cars i picked up are as follows: Ferrari F50 (yellow), Ferrari F512M (red), Ferrari Dino 246 GTS (red), Ferrari 456 (Grigio Ingrid) & a Lamborghini Diablo Roadster (fly yellow)... All very nice cars... i'll post pictures soon...  | ||

Alright, Dan, I'm disappointed! Where is your model of a 550 Maranello? (Barchettas don't count!) | ||

Good eye, Rob, wasn't sure if anyone would see it... William, i picked it up at The Sharper Image- a totally unexpected site and buy, i was thrilled- sometimes, the things you seek are in the unlikeliest places... That's also where i picked up my black Porsche Carrera GT- ooh, what a sweet car... The Infineon has a HUGE amount of detail to it, though- i suggest EVERYONE get one... If you want, i'll pick one up for you, just let me know... | ||

Jordan, i just kept hitting Upload Attachment... Bart, yes, that's the Audi Supersportwagen Rosemeyer... The Audi Infineon R8 was one of the newest additions to my collection- i believe it's the most detailed car i have... It's just an incredible piece- everyone should get one... i can't imagine what it must be like to see the real one... i wanna drive a racecar so bad, if i saw a real one in a show room, i'd probably jump in it and try to drive it away... | ||

Des, nice collection you got there. The model after the blue Lambo is the one of a Audi proto is it ? Cool to see you got the Audi Le Mans car, R8 right ? I saw one on the autoshow over here, the real one, completly with splashed bugs and duct-taped nose. Great photo's | ||

Ok... So here are my toys... It was my mistake to name these pictures in numerical order when i saved them, so they jump around a bit, towards the end...                                             These are photos of a Diablo i saw on Rodeo Drive- the guy just had it parked, with his website 2by2.net scrawled all over the siDES of the car (no affiliation, of course), but i wasn't interested in the website...   Here are some of the pamphlets, brochures, etc. that Mike Wogronic (sorry if i misspelled that) sent me-- his business card is up against the photographs of the lamborghinis- it's cool, there's a picture of a Murcielago on the back of his card... The letter he sent me is taped on the wall, next to the 4 vertical Ferrari posters...      These are photographs i took in California, back in April of 2001... The Porsche was parked on Rodeo Drive- the 360 was turning onto Rodeo...     This last picture is of my driving gloves- i never get in a car without a pair... They usually last me 3 or so months- the pair in the middle with that little bit of red were Porsche gloves that i ordered on some website; the gloves came directly from some Porsche dealership in Texas... Very nice gloves, too, thin leather, comfortable fit, i was pleased... until i got these Ferrari gloves... Now i'll never go back to anything else... (those other pairs in the picture are gloves from Wilson's...) The gloves taped to the wall in one of the pictures before this are one of the pairs of Ferrari gloves i purchased from eBay, with the help of some mysterious person from here- thanks, whoever you are... The other pair is worn on a daily basis and i'll wear the ones on the wall when these wear out... |
