nice car

[Vortigaunt]

I really don't like the 512 M, the mix is just ugly...
I can't speak that good English, so I'll try to explain what I alo like on the 512TR: on the door you see those stripes, that's beautiful, and that keeps going to the back of the car, that makes it a little fatter, but it's really good!!!
And my favorite is the Maranello (GTS) and the F40...

[Vortigaunt]

Hey, I'm about to buy a Ferrari 355 F1 Spider MODELCAR, but I can't decide wich color: Silver Metallic or Ferrari-Red??

[Jay!]

I'd go with silver, but that's me.

Welcome to the board, Vortigaunt! I'll see you around...

[Heep]

Hey, welcome to AF!

I say silver as well.

[Vortigaunt]

Thank you, I thougt too buying the silver, but I wasen't sure...
Silver is more luxe I think, so thanks for helping me out

[S Brake]

I admit that silver is one of the most flattering colors for the 355, but i would go with ferrari-red, i say that only because every single ferrari in my collection is ferrari red. but dare to be different, go with silver.

[JTS]

Maybe it's too late, and I admit that silver is nice, but like snowboarder, all of my Ferraris are Ferrari red. I like to be consistent and keep with the official team racing colours.

But then again, that's just me....

[S Brake]

How many Ferrari's do you have in your collection? hey how about everyone tell us how many you have!!!!! As of now i only have 7 cars, F50, 360 spider, testarossa, 500 testarossa, 550 maranello, and 2 F40's. but in september i am going to the ferrari dealership for my birthday and i am going to buy some more models from their gift shop, probably a 456, 355, another 360and another F50.

[Vortigaunt]

I have a:
Chevrolet Corvette C5 (Red, Bburago)
Jaguar XJ220 (Brittish Racing Green, Maisto)
Dodge Viper GTS Coupe ( White with Blue stripes, Bburago)
Ferrari 360 Modena ( Yellow, Bburago)
Ferrari F50 ( Ferrari-Red!, Bburago)
Chevrolet Corvette Z06 ( Silver, Maisto)
Mercedes CLK-LM ( Silver, Maisto)
Porsche 911 (996) Turbo (Silver, Bburago)

it's going to be much bigger but I haven't got the money for it yet... I'm just 13 years old so there isn't much work for me...

[Jay!]

In what scale? 1/18? Most pre-assembled die-cast cars are 1/18, but some are 1/24, and a lot of new ones are 1/43, pretty little.

I collect cars in 1/24 scale, but mine are kits I build myself.

[Vortigaunt]

all are scale 1:18 (die cast-metal), if I make a model myself, you see all the glue come out of the car

[Jay!]

Yeah. I'd like to think I'm past the stage were I have to worry about the glue. Making the paint smooth and polished is what I'm working on now.

If I ever figure out how to take decent pictures of my models, I'll post them on AF within a heartbeat.

[Vortigaunt]

well, they are welcome!!!

[Vortigaunt]

In Holland, where I live, there's a circuit that's called Circuit Zandvoort... Tomorrow (Yuli 7th) there's an event that's called Itali a Zandvoort, I think it's Italien for Italy on Zandvoort, anyway I will be there, there are a lot of ferrari's and I will make lots of pictures!!! To bad I can't scan them to put them on this site
