Here's my car collection that I've been working on since I was very little. The big majority of the cars that I have since I was very little are small ones of 1/64 scale, stuff like Matchbox, Majorette and some Hot Wheels, and a few no-name as well. I probably had about 150-200 of these about 4 years ago. I don't have all of them anymore, I have only about half of them I think, and most of them are stacked in a box. The 1/64 cars that I have displayed are only the ones I had room for so I chose them individually (they're not very special though).

I don't have any special cars myself, mostly regular models that anyone can buy. Anyway, here's some pictures of my collection. I really need to get a separate display to showcase all of them (with a glass window), and I will get that soon since my parents told me that I can't let them hang around anymore and need to put them somewhere special. I'm 17 right now and I plan to have more cool models in the future. I'm kind of picky when buying them, I mostly get Maisto or Bburago models from regular stores; Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, big grocery stores like Superstore, and wherever I can find them.

I haven't seen any car model dedicated stores around where I live in Canada, but I saw more than a couple when I was travelling through Europe during the whole of July until 2 days ago when I got home. Most stores were in Italy, and they were very nice, some had every F1 car I've ever seen, and other special cars like Audi R8s, Porsche 917s, Ford GT40s, and some very nice vintage sports cars (Ferrari 512BB, etc.) and a humongous list of modern cars from mini-champs, bburago, maisto, hot wheels etc. Very expensive prices though, especially if the store was in the middle of Venice or Florence lol.

Anyway, here's the pictures. I'll have a list of the cars under the pic.

If anyone wants any close ups, just post here and I'll take a picture of what you want. I plan on making my collection bigger and better whenever I can. For the most part, I plan on getting 1/18 models whether it be Maisto or Hot Wheels of Lamborghini Murcieliago, Ferrari Testarossa, Viper GTS Coupe, Corvette C6 yellow, and so on. I'd also like to get some 1/18 rally cars, Impreza WRX, Ford Focus, Peugeot 307, and some LM/GT cars like BMW V12 LMR, Porsche GT1, Audi R8, and one or two F1 cars (very expensive though..) preferably McLaren and my ultimate dream is to get a McLaren F1 (road car) in black color from Maisto if I can find one.
 
Not to be persnickety, but I believe that if you look under the 1:64 Scale Blue&white Matchbox police car, It'll say Plymouth Gran Fury instead of Crown Victoria. :) I've got two of 'em.


Nice collection. 👍
 
Yes, that's right, it's a Gran Fury, I dunno what I was thinking when I said Crown Victoria. Prolly because I also have a Crown Victoria (interceptor) by Matchbox, but I don't have it out for display. That Gran Fury was one of my first Matchbox cars, if not the first. 👍
 
Small update.

My most recent addition to my list. A dark blue Lamborghini Murcielago (1/18) by Hot Wheels, just bought it on saturday (yesterday). This alongside the 996 Targa by Maisto are my most recent acquisitions (the Porsche I bought on Thursday) and part of my plan to finally increase my small collection and become more of a real collection (maybe 30+ cars one day, maybe :drool: ).

I also plan on buying a 360 Spider (also 1/18 Hot Wheels), prolly in early september or sometime. They also had a yellow Lamborghini Diablo GTR, that would also make a nice addition.
