[Crash Test]

I don't, I have a few mini DTM and Champ Cars though....god bless Hong Kong

Although the other day I had a very good hard long gork at the ones in the local modal car shop the other day. The 2001 DJR and GMS cars look very nice indeed...

Marcus, I also have 4 of these 1/43 collectables.

I have Lowndes' '96 VS because I'm a big fan of Lowndesy and was so impressed when he won the championship, Sandown and Bathurst in his first full season.

I have Seton's '97 Championship winning EL. I'm a big fan of Seto and was there the day he set the lap record at Lakeside in that car. A record which still stands and now probably will never be broken.

I have Brock's '97 VS. As a child Peter Brock was my idol and i just had to have his last car.

I also have a Skaife/Lowndes VT, I bought it some time after the others and it is obvious that the quality of these models is steadily improving. I bought this one, because i had just taken delivery of a brand new VT Commodore and just had to have the model to go with it.

Now I drive an AU Falcon, perhaps i should get an AU model. At the 500 yesterday, I had a long, long look at Lowndes' AU. The price was a fraction high, but the quality and detail were awesome, far, far beyond what I have here on my desk now.

I would also like to collect more, many more of these models, but i find it very hard to justify spending that much money on something which just sits there. I have a real car which eats all of money and then some.
