I was in a feeling for some photos today, so I photographed some of my older models. :)

RUF is a great Porsche tuner, famous for their Yellow Bird interpretation of Porsche 911. This is CTR2 from 1996. I think it looks stunning in this unusual and exotic color.

Second one is another supercar - Lister Storm. I think it was the fastest 4-seater in its time with Jaguar V12 engine and the top speed of over 200mph.
Storm's muscular design is not for everyone's taste, I find it attractive as I love unusual cars. Color is a bit unusual too, and quite difficult to photograph... I think it looks way better in person than on my photos...
These rear lights look familiar ... Audi 80 anyone? :p

Which model maker? Are they Spark? Also, are they resin (I guess they are)?

I have never seen a photo of the Lister Storm before; guess I have to catch up on old issues of the English sports car magazines.

Ranchero: Yes, they are Spark and resin. I think there were very few Storms made...maybe three or four total, so there aren't many photos around.

You can find some more info here if interested: http://www.supercars.net/cars/1007.html, and Wikipedia too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lister_Storm
