Default Part of my 1:18 scale car collection, anybody else??

This is my BMW collection, on either sides i have more cars and i have others else where. But lets see if anybody else joins me in this thread and hopefully i will see larger collection than mine. If you want more pictures just let me know.


These are the cars on the right of the first picture that are in boxes without pictures on the covers:






I took me an alot of time and money to track all these cars down, so hopefully others will know how these sorts of collection feel, when they are completed.

Im REALLY into 3's, but i did buy the M6 because, well because YOU HAVE TO!!! You cant have a BMW collection without an INSANE M6. Im still missing a bunch of BMW's iin my collection, mainly, 5's ad 6's, but i already hit my limit of yearly spending on die-cast, so until next year i just cant do it. But here you go:







Yes the roof is carbon Fiber:

I have a HUGE Rubbermaid bin of Hot Wheels. I think the last time we counted, like 2 years ago, we had 350.

No pictures of it though.

CBSIMONSEZ: thats what im talking about , VERY cool!! Last time i took count im at about 110, ive been collecting these things for about 10 yrs, so alot of them have been removed from their boxes ( i was 13 when i started this collection), which kind of sucks. Then again what kind of kid will keep these cars in boxes, right?? Well lets see if anybody else has a collection.

JGTC as requested: I also chose a main team to try and find ALL their cars from every year, (Team Xanavi), but ive only been able to find 01', 02', 03', 04. These pictures do absolutely NO justice to these cars. I think, BY FAR, these are the most detailed cars in my collection. These pictures were taken from my phone and very shaky hand.




These were the 2 that got me hooked on JGTC, all you need is ONE good car to make you buy about 10 more, hehehe.

I only collect AutoArt, UT and Minichamps. Those are the best for the price. Of course there are better models, but for a much more expensive price.

Redneck:L HOLY $HIT!!! I thought i was hooked on these things, but your collection kills mine. Im not big into nascar, but anybody with a collection like that has my FULL respect!!

BTW: Where did you get that showcase furniture, I've been killing myself looking for a nice looks piece of furniture (like the one you have), to display all my cars. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, let me know where you bought those, and if you made them yourself i will pay you to make me some. You have no idea how desperate i am!!

JSosa, those display cases redneck has look like the ones they used to sell on the QVC show "For Race Fans Only." It comes on the QVC channel Friday nights at 8pm,I have seen them on many times, I cannot remember how much they cost. See if you can access www.goracing.com, that's the website that used to sell them through the QVC program. Redneck, that's quite the collection. I began buying up NASCAR diecast about 3 years ago and I'm think I'm up to around 40 of them, all 1:24 scale. I have mostly Dale Jr, Stewart, Truex and Harvick. I also try to complete team sets and usually buy what I know I can get signed. In saying that 95% of mine are all signed in person.
