That looks like a neat one Andy. Out of interest, have you found Guy's selling lots of his old models off right now at http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZvwcstorm

John - yes I have, bidding on a few items - now trying to make sure I don't end up with duplicate models - got too many already

Can't believe there's still people out there that'll pay £4.20 etc for parcel shelf straps :lol:

I thought the parcelshelf straps were rare - was hoping to retire on the 500 sets that I have bought :lol:

Yeah I'm hoarding lots of late headlight switches. That's a sure fire investment, LOL

whats it meant to be?

 

apart from a corrado with stickers on? is it a copy of a real racing car?

I looks like a customized Minichamps version.

phew! I thought I was the only melon who bought a mini 'raddo! I got mine in a little trinket shop in London last August.

Felt a bit silly asking the very 'jolly' proportioned fellow behind the counter had he any VW CORRADO'S.....''yeah mate down the back on the right, should be one left'' :D Result, and there it was, the Revell version VR6 in burgandy.

 

It was only while browsing Andy's site this week, I saw you could open the Bonnet :? I'm a bit thick like that!

Got home, flipped the lip....little engine tucked away all shiney & new :lol: (wish my bay looked like that!)

The g/f reckons I'm turning into Howard Hughes 'cus I get upset at all the dust on my little car. Kinda reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Mr Burns asks Smithers to get in his little toy plane the 'Sproose Moose' :lol:

 

yep, in work and pretty bored!

I waxed my Revell Corrado when I took it out of the box. :drinking:

OOOHHHH Nice :) your just teasing us though with those garage scene ones which you cant get anywhere:(

 

Just won a couple off the bay this week so its coming on nicely.

 

Like the IROC must get one sometime, even though i aint really that fond of it in real life terms but its probably the nearest we're gonna get.

i like the 205 gti 8)

[Critical_Mass 10]

Andy665 that is some collection you've got there 8), thats what im trying to work towards!

 

Im so jealous.

 

I've found the red rallye one in the first pic on a website the other day.

Not that many more Corrado's I can buy now so starting to buy VW Group models that I like - got a few Audis, Lambo's and some other VW's.

 

The other bigger cabinet has a small selection of my other models, would love to be able to display my 300+ Alfa models but don't think thats going to happen any time soon.

[Critical_Mass 10]

Sounds like you need a room dedicated to models.

 

How long has it taken to get so many?

[B DUB 0]

Very nice collection mate ,i ain't got that that many yet :) Have u got the silver scirocco and red corrado in a case together from the auto museum Volkswagen ?? they are both very tiny models about micro machine size???

Thats quite a collection! Ive only got one 1:43 model and thats of a metallic black G60 made by 'Schabak' :)

[Jim Bowen 1]

[Andy665 0]

B Dub - Yes the Scirocco and Corrado are in the collection, 1/87 scale.

 

Been collecting models for about 15 years now - mainly Ala Romeo, now Volkswagen and general models of cars I have either owned or just like

[Jim Bowen 1]

got these over the lastweek, apart from corrados, already had them
