I'd like one of those, but as diable says, they are expensive for basically an ornament for the office. That particular model is very well done, but the wheels are the non-stock items..

You've lived up North for too long be positive 8)
You're right - I have lived up north too long. However, I've been down to the "smoke" (as they say around these parts) about 5 times over the last 2 months. London's got plenty to tempt me, but not on a permanent basis, these days. :D

It sold for £115! I have seen these modified ones go for £150-£180 so that was a bargain :D

Otto models are shite, good details on the outsite but bonnet, doors etc can't open, it can't even steer. I have the e30 m3 vert of them.

Jep, Autoart and Minichamps are great detailed models.
Hotwheels elite are also good.
