    Among other things, on Saturday, when i was at Ferrari of Atlanta, i was finally able to add a black NNO to my model collection... The folks at FoA are very hospitable and were very friendly; we chatted in between me buying stuff and taking pictures of the cars in the showroom... So without further adieu... :)

    Thats the same Enzo I have, a royal pain in the ass to keep un-dusty, and it required a mod to even get the doors to close. I do like the pseudo carbon-fiber on the chassis/interior/engine, though. Not bad for $25.

    And that 550 with flames is awesome, never wouldve suspected THAT as a decal package.

    Do you know that the Hall of Fame 360 in your pics has an older Sister?

    Also, I really like the Enzo and all 3 look so good together! ;)

    Hey Carbon man..
    You have a great collection, i love the blue 612 - awsome color!
    How many models do you really got?!?!?!
    But what does this "NNO" means?????........I've seen the word several times
    but I have no clue of what it stands for! :)
    I bought this blue 360 yesterday.....
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6912124688&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOAB:US:6
    And this Murcielago (YAHOOOO, finally got it)
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6912565268&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOAB:US:6

    I also found this 250LM on a Norwegian auction site (see pix)
    The car is from around 1965 and is a 1/43 scale - do you think I should put in a bid???
    The current price is like 10 bucks.

    welcome back to this forum (long time you didn't stop by)
    interesting collection yours.
    what scale and brand are those models in front of those HW hall of Fame?
    specially that P4 #3 also a vintage blue one (I want em!) what scale are those and brand?
    or maybe they are HW 1/43 I just have 2 of that collection.


    the most desirable model is the one I still haven't got.

    Carbon, what about that white P4 amazing (scale and brand please)

    Paul norwegian viking , If I were you I would inmediately get that antique toy Hurry up! good luck.
    Also I pick that blue color for my Scaglietti looks good

    i believe it's the same as in the package in my first picture, 1:59...


    Thanks, Jordan; yes, the black is so hard to keepy dusty... But mine is never dusty; i play with it far too often for it to collect dust... No wonder Gerald is pissed - i'm not getting any work done...! :D


    360 Spyder, you bastard...! :D my other two NNOs are a thousand miles away...!
    i had no idea the Hall of Fame 360 Challenge has a 355 C sister - very cool... Are they still being sold in stores or should i just go to ebay to find one...?


    Wrecked, thank you; awesome buys from ebay, congratulations; i really like that 360... YES! definitely bid on the LM - especially for only 10 bucks...! Bid, bid, bid...!


    Urraco, thank you; the Hot Wheels models are 1:59 scale... You can find them and plenty more in almost any toy store...
    The 7 models in front of the Hot Wheels models are Classico models, which were released by Shell a few years ago, pretty much everywhere EXCEPT for the united states... They're 1:38 scale and there's 8 in that set and 2 1:18 that go along with the entire collection; Gerald has all 8 1:38s and both 1:18s... i still don't have the 1:18s but i'm ONE away from having the last and final 1:38 - i found those 7, miraculously, for 4 bucks apiece... Unbelievable... :)
    The white N.A.R.T. 330 P4 by Joueff, was given to me by a very close and very dear friend, Augustine Staino; that's no the first model in my collection that was given to me by him; in fact, when he gave it to me, it was the most VALUABLE model in his collection; and that's not the first time he's given me one of his most valuable models... He's really a true friend and he's on my "special" list until the day i die; thank you, Gus...


    Thanks, Aawil; it feels naked though, with most of the collection a thousand miles away... :)


    Thanks for clarifying that for me, Eric... :)

    Well bro...ebay would be your best bet, but good luck. It was in a 5 pack exclusive to Canada around 2000 or 2001 and they were hard to come by from what I recall hearing. The only way I got that one was a very good friend who lives in Canada sent it to me since she knew I was such a Ferrari Fan.

    I will keep my eye out for another one though.

    Hey Carbon how many times have you been asked this same question?



    also I want to ask all of you if anyone has those 1/43 Hot Wheels with a cute display and a landscape pictured as a background
    or am I the only one who have them? I got 2, (Daytona & 355GTS).

    Carbon , those 7 cars you have : the Shell Classico models 1/38
    that's what I call : a highly collectible treasure ! lucky guy!
    I much prefer rare models such as these and the one posted by Wrecked Paul. Keep them.

    LOL, i don't know, but i'm thinking about starting a thread about it this way, whenever someone asks me, i can just link them to the thread... :)

    i have every intention of keeping my Classico models and acquiring the rest of them... i know of the 1:43 Hot Wheels you're talking about; they're in clear plastic cases within the Hot Wheels boxes and they have different scenery displays with the different cars... i have a 355, 348 and i have a 360 Modena... Never knew they made a Daytona, but i know there's a Testarossa model of the same series, i've just never seen it... i'd like to, at some point, acquire the entire set 'cause i think it's cool... Hell, it's Ferrari, of course it's cool...! :)

    I don't know. Some models I have turn out to be pretty sought after. Like the Minichamps F93A (Alesi), which is prized at more than 300 dollars at some sites, whereas I bought it in the store for about 20, just after it came out.

    I suppose my rarest model is the Replicars 348 TB Evoluzione Zagato 1:43.

    In scale 1:38, from Shell Classico Series.

    NNO: I found one on a Dutch site, but it's the complete collection, including the BB. Don't know if the sale is still on and if they sell the BB apart from the rest. Unfortunately I don't think I have the BB.

    http://www.marktplaats.nl/markt/verzamel/modelautos/195217.htm

    Here's a pic of my collection BTW. Well, most if it. The other part is stashed away, since I don't have enough space to display them all at once. One day I will though. I know the pic is rubbish, but just to give an idea :D
