I interrupt all this soap, mic, tampon, and etc. dropping to share this very nice sale of vector prints: https://touchofmodern.com/sales/petr...a-8041210e18dd

Good prices too if you are in need of something for your wall in your mancave or anywhere you feel it'll look good.

FYI.

The Ferrari F40 and Porsche Carrera RS would be my choices. Sadly, these don't ship to Canada...I'll have to to find an alternate vendor.

Ah yeah, joining Touch of Modern is free...they don't spam you with e-mails either and so, it's nice that way.

I joined originally cuz I'm usually on the lookout for sales on timepieces and that site has sales regularly...

But, cool stuff like these vector prints are always a welcome bonus to see.

FOr me it would be garage wall. I still hav eone wall with nothing on it, so this would be a great addition

About 5 years ago, in Vegas, they opened a Symoblic Dealer. Only time I saw a Miura in person. It was the lime green color. I didn't know the seatbelts were in the middle.

AMongst a seat of other supercars, it just stood out.

Absolutely stunning car. At THAT time they were asking 500k for it. No idea what they cost now.

for pure driving fun factor, i can think of a lot of better cars for that purpose at sub $30k.

F30 3 series steering feel and suspension (base model) even with the new software, it is better but still not good enough for pure driving fun.

Oh I wasn't comparing it to other cars under 30K. My old MS3 and the current gen WRX I find better driving.

I guess I was saying if it is TLX/CLA/3 series, I would take a 320 stripper

About $28.28 USD after shipping. Not bad. I bought the E30 M3 version for my buddy who has an E30 (non M) and an E36 M3. His birthday is in a little over a month so hopefully I'll get it before then!

Thanks YummyRobot. #dropsthehighfive

Well, since you won't stomp on that LEGO brick, I gotta hurt you in other ways.



You're staying away from the diecast car model thread, aren't you? Chicken.

Surprised you didn't post a picture of it in the Car Photo thread because you couldn't tell the difference between the real thing and a 1:18 scale model.

If I wasn't getting ready for the incoming blizzard and deep freeze, I'd personally march down there and force-feed you that car. Yeah...that's right.

Yup, it's a very nicely done model and I'm lucky to have scored one a few weeks back. Their Zonda renditions are also top-notch too.

I recently received the nutbar Veneno because it's just so over-the-top, I had to have it...it's also fantastically done. AutoArt has really grown as a model maker over the years and IMO can rival some of the established shops. Given the favorable exchange rate to the Yen, I have been buying my models from Japan lately. If you folks are after some, let me know and I can supply the vendor site I use.

Si. Japanese mecha is my first love.

As for the cars, I love them too but, it's alot more selective and relegated to exotics these days. My initial collecting had alot more "road cars" like the RX-7, last-gen Supra, Nissan 300ZX a la Kyosho but the last few years have all been the uber-cars that AutoArt produces and the one-off exception like the Porsche 918 by Minichamps since no one else has one at a price that is not stupid. I'm eyeing on getting the One-77 by AutoArt and possibly another Zonda if my budget allows but we'll see.
