Jim, you've stumbled across DES's secret. It was his latest acquisition, before framing.

Nice models. DES, you could have bought one full scale Ferrari with all those models !! By the way, guys, do you know where I can get a 1:43 scale model of a 328GTS? |

what is that you blacked out on the second pic? looks like it has lizzard feet hanging down. My apartment in Boston had that same paneling and low ceiling. Must have been popular or cheap back in the day. What is funny is that my apt was built in 1898 and had that stuff so I am sure that was a remodel.... FOR RENT: 3br/2bth, crooked floors, drafty windows, "recently" updated. |

ROTFL, Jim, the apartment was furnished when i moved in; that chair was there... That one doesn't lean back, but there's another chair in there, that does... That one, you could sleep in, no question (hell, i've fallen asleep in the one that doesn't lean back... ) |

DES, Thanks and I am looking forward to them. Also, if it is not a lot of trouble, could I get the picture of the enzo that you have on your desktop at work and any accompanying enzo pics? Thanks |

It's good to see that someone else is as "sick" as I am with these cars. I'll have to post some photos of my collection soon. |

Wow, you have a virtual shrine going!! Very impressive. I think if I had that many models, my better half would kick me out of the house! When will you graduate to the real thing? Hopefully soon. because you're running out of wall space

Matthew, it would be my pleasure... Give me until tomorrow to set it aside, by itself, so that i may take a bunch of quality shots, with nothing interrupting in the background... Chris, i have lots more pictures to post; maybe some therapy is in order... Wayne - you never cease to amaze me; first off, they're toys, second, there's a glare and they're smaller than real cars... Can you wait 'til July for your Pazookie or do you want it right away...? |

Nice pics DES. I think you definitely have the sickness (more than most people here it looks like). |

Here's a shot of my second favorite Porsche - the Carrera GT...
In the top lef hand corner of the picture, you'll see what appears to be the front of an orange car, however it's really yellow; that's my new DeTomaso Pantera- picked that bad boy up for $5.90...! Go me...!  |

Here's one of my newest additions: a yellow Diablo GTR, to the right of my titanium Murcielago and, my favorite Lamborghini of all time, the Diablo Roadster...

It's ok to admit it if you have small bulls...
i found the 1:24 yellow Murcielago in a candy store; go figure... The Diablo next to it is a outrageous metallic pink... |
