1/43rd Slot Cars that is. Many of these are customs and a bunch are as bought. The thing that is great about these is that the most expensive ones cost $12.99 new.

What a nice bunch!

I see a blue SSR in there.. but no yellow one?

Oh, Boo-Hoo-Hoo! The shame of it all! :cry:

I knew it…not up to snuff. Boo-Hoo-Hoo! :cry:

I’m off to take several hand controllers, make a noose, and hang myself from a beam…..

Boo-Hoo-Hoo :cry:


(Still a great collection, Mike!)

Cheers..

You owe me a new keyboard! I doodled all over It and shorted it out. LOL Great bunch of cars. Where did you get the old coupe, the 55 , the gassers ,Superbird and the GT 40s? I would love to get my hands on them . Sundance

The old coupe is a custom I got the body at Dollar Tree. Same with the 55 (if your talking about the green one its a 57'. The Willys are Roger Corrie resin casts as is the GT40 and yellow Ferrari, and the Superbird (I beleive is a Daytona) is a 1/43rd Plastic piece from Legends of Racing series. There are 12 cars in the LoR set. I think I have 6 of them. I've only mounted the Daytona so far.

Gotta say, I didn't know that there were so many out there either. I like the bigger scale too, more detail.....it's a good thing.

Very nice!!

Wow! You have quite the impressive stable of 1:43 iron. Made me do a double take. The track and scenery looks very well done. Maybe there really something to this tweener scale after all.............

Yeah really nice stable and scenery, good work Mike

By the way here is a LINK (http://homepage.mac.com/pmarchand/143_collection_georg.htm) to a 1/43 scale collector who own 2000+ cars.... A lot of them are just variations of colors for the same model in fact, but 2000 cars, WOW

The only reason the Yellow SSR Lemonator isn't there is because I have it displayed here at work. It is a real conversation starter. I have learned that ther are a couple train people here since I put it out. Don't feel bad the one you did is great. I still have to post a picture of the front suspension.
