This is it for you, I agree with everyone else that you are CRAZY!
Yes, this is like a dream come true for a freak like me. It is enough to buy an actual car, but I already have one, a 2001 Honda Accord V6 EX sedan with automatic moonroof, automatic leather seats and a 6-disc in-dash CD player, 14,000 miles.

You got all the add-ons for this baby! Nice!

One little tip on sanding those photo etched parts: use a hold and fold devise to hold a piece tightly leaving the excess bit out, that way, you can easily sand parts down without bending, and twisting, good luck!

Hope that helps!
Mark

A hold and fold machine looks like this:

You could buy a REAL, nice classic car for that money and do it up if it isn't in perfect condition. Wouldn't you rather have something like a Thunderbird or Mustang or Porsche 911 than a model that doesn't work?

No. Anyway, why would I buy a second car if it wasn't better than my first one?

lol, people, he has already bought the model because he wants to build the model, can't we get over the fact that it cost so much?

I'm 20, they don't know that I bought it yet. Amazingly it worked out that the transkit arrived when they were at our second house. They will probably be here when the actual 20 pound $700 F40 package arrives, that will be interesting.
