Got lucky *warning, picture intensive*(diablo & 500 SL)

[S Brake]

I was at my friends house playing FFX, and I looked on his shelf and saw that he has some sweet 1/18 cars. I started looking at them then he asked me if I wanted some. So I just scored a Laborghini Diablo and a Mercedes 500 SL. The Lambo is yellow and the Merc is red.
The wing on the Diablo broke off so now I have to make one out of a spare ITR wing I suppose, I will need to buy some putty though.

Pics?

what brand are they?

[S Brake]

I actually forgot them in his brothers room so i will have to pick them up later. and i'll be gone until thursday so i won't be able to pick them up for a while. they're pretty though.

Here are the pictures of the cars that my friend gave me. i think the diablo is an SE30 because it has some sort of badge on it.
Diablo:





these dots are where the spoiler used to be, i'll have get some putty and see if i can make another one.

500 SL:





Both models are extremely dusty so i'll have to clean them off aswell.

Finally, someone else is starting to get into 1:18 scale cars! How many other people on here collect these models too? I know I'm not the only one.

I've got one. A blue Maisto McLaren F1.

I have a 1/18 scale Porshe 911 (I think it's a 911, can't remember), a Jaguar XK180, and a XJ220. They are all still in the box.

This brings my total to 130 cars. It's a sickening hobby. Primera Man himself knows how bad it is.

[S Brake]

I don't even want to begin to think about how much all of those cost. I have a total of 7 i think.
Ferrari 550 Barchetta
Ferrari 360 spider
Mclaren F1
Aston Martin DB7 Vantage
Mercedes 500 SL
Lamborghini Diablo
Porsche GT3 cup
I've been thinking about converting the GT3 to a road car but i don't know if i'll regret it or not.
I hope to add a 911 turbo, GT2, 355, 6.0VT and a few others to the collection if i can find them.

[crab]

my collection of diecasts is kinda big too, something like 50+ cars, but here's my favourite pic... 1/18 Ferrari Modena (i'll slap you if you can't tell this is a Modena)

p.s. the lamborghini and 500sl are both from Maisto...
