If the Motorsport racers are your thing I would treat yourself to the 1:12, see if you can get a fixed pre order price in the USA so you do not have to pay the import tax although I expect they cost more in the USA because the model importers have to pay the import tax.
You could gamble and wait to see if the sellers in Germany can't sell them and you may get a bargain, Minichamps has never made 1:12 scale models before so it is not easy to know whether to gamble. I stupidly thought that I could buy a 1:18 Minichamps Nigel Mansell F1 racer cheaper after they were released, they have doubled since I don’t know if you already have these but here are another five Minichamps 1:43 E30 BMW M3 Motorsport coloured models. The two at the end were ck-modelcars exclusives. 430872001 BMW M3 M-TEAM ZAKSPEED DEUTSCHE TOURENW.

Rossi is still kicking ass this year showing the youngsters how its done, that reminds me where is my Hamilton Voodoo doll I need to stick a load of pins in it Ha Ha I bought some models from South Africa of all places last year and that was after doing a worldwide search only to find that South Africa was the only place that had the model that I was after. The UK in its wisdom is leaving the European Union so I am worried that I will have to start paying import tax on my models from Germany. I only have these three Motorbikes, I have been thinking about buying some 1:43 Spark Models Motorbikes as they are cheap.

I agree about Rossi. It's funny how everyone keeps saying he's washed up but still manages to podium most times. Granted he hasn't won many races but I know all the guys in the lower rungs would give their left nut to be able to podium as many times as Rossi. I'm glad he's going to be racing another 2 years. And I hope he gracefully retires and doesn't soil his image by going into Nascar as some have rumored. Although I wouldn't mind seeing him racing in Rally cars as he has some experience there. The portajohn/out house one is real funny. Had I known it was out, I would have bought one. Do you know the story behind it? The movie Faster talks about. It even showed the race footage as he parked his bike after a race on the warm down lap and ran into that portajohn. I think those Simoncelli models are going to be worth a lot as loved as he was. It's unfortunate about what happened and with Rossi involved too. Can't imagine how that would screw with your head knowing you were involved in an incident that claimed the life of a very good friend. Watched the incident unfold during the live broadcast. I knew immediately there wouldn't be a good outcome. Here are pics of some of the stuff in my collection: And the 1:6 model of Rossi's Repsol Honda. The way I shot this picture makes the model look smaller than it really is. It's a pretty big AND heavy model. I might take another picture to show the size of the thing. |

Hmm, tough call, but I think I like the Minichamps version the best.

Correction: Joachim Winkelhock. Manfred was killed in an accident in 1985, years before the M3 made its debut.

I have a couple of dodgy photos of Ayrton Senna racing in a Lotus-Honda that I took at the British Grand Prix in 1987, I only just found out that he finished third behind Mansell & Piquet as I had forgotten completely.
There is a good reason that I forgot as it was the year Mansell won and I was a Mansell fan back then, Mansell was 20 seconds behind Piquet with 20 laps to go and every time they came past the crowd went nuts and then they announced over the tannoy that Mansell had gained a second on each lap up to last but one lap when Mansell overtook Piquet. The funny thing is that I bumped into Mansell at a book signing last year and I started to repeat the race to him, he laughed and said I was there Ha Ha. 1987 British Grand Prix |

Who was your favorite Senna or Schumacher?
I was a Schumacher fan after Mansell although it did get a bit boring as he won all the time. Now I just like anyone who can beat Hamilton I almost forgot to say that the Senna Pin Badges are nice, I like the Marlboro ones as the Marlboro McLarens were the best looking F1 cars.

Absolutely Senna.
I was a fan of his since his Toleman drive at Monaco... His 1993 drive at Donington literally and figuratively put everyone else in his rear view mirror. Quote:

Seen at the Techno Classica...
I saw some cool model cars for sale at the Techno Classica car show in Essen. I bought some from this shop. Pretty nice guys. The old transporter with the Isetta on the back of it was just calling out to me.
They also had this cool gas station track... also seen at the show...
