Hmm, there seems to be some serious ish going on around the back of the 2 in "42" on the Mexico car. Looks like white out or something.

Compare to:

Knowlesy · 14 Oct 2007, 20:00 (Ref:2040197)

It is race-worn. It is probably part of Pruett's paintwork.

Ah, true. The '08 cars look really good. The side of the Havoline car, has flames.

Thats' why the red lines have disappeared.

**Craig** · 14 Oct 2007, 20:17 (Ref:2040218)

I hate 'race worn' cars...

Knowlesy · 14 Oct 2007, 20:18 (Ref:2040221)

Well spotted Matt.

I don't much care for race worn cars, but apparently these ones are very good.

Matt · 14 Oct 2007, 20:24 (Ref:2040234)

I personally like the race worn cars. Don't know why. I know the Daytona Prototype diecast "Race Worn" cars looked bloody brilliant.

**Craig** · 14 Oct 2007, 20:41 (Ref:2040252)

My problem with race worn cars is that, unless the car/livery was a one-off such as the Daytona 500 or Le Mans, they are not representative. The conditon a car crosses the line from one race will be totally different to another. I prefer 'pre-race' condition.

So, the Mexico car, is a good one, right?

Good to see the Mexico Busch car has been released, thanks for the heads up!

The 1:24 COT must be imminent too as the detailed (Drivers Select) 1:64 versions have now been released.

2008 liveries look good, though the Texaco one looks like it'll look better in the metal as the subtle flames will stand out better.

Knowlesy · 15 Oct 2007, 18:11 (Ref:2040957)

Yep, the Mexico livery was a one-off, so you can chill now Craig.

**Craig** · 15 Oct 2007, 18:17 (Ref:2040963)

I'd still sooner have the standard version. Call me Mr Contradictary...

Knowlesy · 15 Oct 2007, 18:33 (Ref:2040975)

I would too, but to hell with it, this looks awesome. Love the cut-and-shut Telcel livery and it is a historic car.

**Craig** · 15 Oct 2007, 18:43 (Ref:2040984)

Perhaps we should move this thread to the historic forum then... see what they make of it there

(of course, I'll end up buying it...)

J-C · 15 Oct 2007, 19:47 (Ref:2041036)

At least with this particular car there is meaning to the term "race aged" - shame though it doesn't seem to have the big dent on the front left wing where he hit Pruett! Just checked and it seems the mark around the 2 of 42 that Matt noticed was actually there in reality - though before the Pruett contact - so it's nice that they've done the job as accurately as possible

fish88 · 17 Oct 2007, 20:27 (Ref:2043044)

The bush car looks awesome needs to get in my collection ASAP

, nice to see a tread/forum with some big montoya fans.

Here is my Montoya collection at the moment

**Craig** · 17 Oct 2007, 20:29 (Ref:2043050)

I had to dip out of the bidding on a 99 Champcar yesterday... I've just spent far too much lately!

Other than that I've been on a bit of a buying spree and seem to have boxes arriving daily lol

**Craig** · 17 Oct 2007, 20:32 (Ref:2043053)

A very warm welcome, fish88! A great little collection you have there - well done - is that the Ikea display cabinet that Knowlesy was perving over earlier today?

What is the silver #42?

Thank you. Well the silver car is actually a white gold elite car, i first didnt wanted to buy the car because it doesnt really excist but the car was too tempted... You can find them still on ebay.com.

**Craig** · 17 Oct 2007, 20:54 (Ref:2043078)

It does look really cool, doesn't it? I think I'll resist for now - the collection's gotta have some limits, hasn't it? I'd never stop otherwise!

Knowlesy · 17 Oct 2007, 21:38 (Ref:2043128)

Not a fan of the gold plated cars myself.

Great stuff fish88... I notice you have a couple of Walrus Williams' and an oval spec Champcar in there...are they conversions? I'm thinking of making a few of my own conversions, I quite fancy Getting a 2000 Williams and converting that to the car Montoya tested in when he first returned to F1. Easy conversion.

You seem to have similar thoughts to me, I've got plans to make an incredible display decked out in all sorts of memorabilia, images etc...just to give the collection more of an impact. I love what you've done, it is fantastic.

(The figurine is a bit scary though

)

**chunterer** · 18 Oct 2007, 08:29 (Ref:2043342)

Yes that is an awesome image of your collection and display fish88, i'm really quite envious of that!

You must have everything he's driven that's been modelled!!!

All you need now is for some firm or other to release Barber Saab, Vauxhall Lotus, F3 and F3000 diecasts!!!

fish88 · 18 Oct 2007, 12:30 (Ref:2043529)

Thx for the reactions. The FW26 is actually a minichamps and Hotwheels, I bought the HW first but later on i bought the minichamps because it looked better. Maybe i will sell the HW because of the space in the display. And the oval version of the Ganassi car is an original car made by ERTL, the car is not as good in quality (and not as accurate) as Action Performance but i had to have it. It is rarer than the Action Performance car.

Still doesnt got anything, i want a model of his first test in formula 1 with williams in 1997 and also the 2000 testcar but i aint that good in making decals... I got his 1998 Williams testcar i have bought once one ebay.

J-C · 18 Oct 2007, 12:33 (Ref:2043532)

Lovely stuff fish88 - nice to have another member of Club JPM! I see you're using the Ikea Detolf cabinet as well - out of interest how are you displaying the middle car on each shelf (the Winfield Williams testcar for instance)? Great collection, thanks for sharing the pictures.

Knowlesy · 18 Oct 2007, 17:14 (Ref:2043791)

They are clearly floating J-C, duh!

Seriously, I'd like to know how that is done too.

I've seen that ERTL model on eBay actually, now I think about it. It looks better than I initially thought. Wish I'd bought one now!

fish88 · 19 Oct 2007, 15:09 (Ref:2044611)

I use these plastic standards.
