If I was rich I would not own so few cars!!! Honestly I make a modest living. But enough of that, these are really a sexy pair of cars. I cant believe I finally have them together at last!!!

The interior of that room looks very expensive. I am quite jealous and would very much want to have a setup like that in my home... I'm working on it though (it's been over 12-13years since last time i was into RC, so it's starting from scratch now, wish i had saved some models... i think i have a 1/6 p51d mustang at my parents, but that isn't 100% done) I mainly like big cars, but big planes also, and big fast boats.. thats it i think, but this is a hobby i know i wont stay away from anymore, have really missed having fun driving, and building stuff, this kinda hobby is expensive, but at the same time very stimulating in many ways.

Congratulation to having such a nice collection xknacx!! Those cars in that room... like a little wet dream i wish i have a collection like that some day, with planes and boats to. Great collection you have there [sm=thumbup.gif]

Thanks for the compliments! It just takes time to collect such cars. On the garage setup, its still a work in progress. I have a 3 car garage and thats just 1/3rd of it. I am in the process of getting the rest done up! The rest of it is also where all the machining and welding goes on. Keep on it, you will get it done!!

Depends on the car. How rare it is, the condition, etc... Some have never been driven and never will. All have had the engines started and running though. Usually if the car needs a full restoration I will run it until I restore it. After that it gets shelved. The smaller scale stuff 1/5th and under gets driven since I dont collect those and they are still made and parts are available.

The body on my monster truck is lexan made by WCM and from what I understand will not be made anymore. Just the dodge bodies. The only fiberglass bodies are for the stadium trucks. So there is a toyota , chevy s10 style body, Jeep and one like that but with sides on the back (Raco body in fiberglass.) All these bodies were made originally off the original plug. The plug just got modified.
