Back in the 70s I had a small collection of Polistil F1 cars. And a Lancia Fulvia HF (now there's a sexy car) with snow effect. Sandro Munari.

Ahh, books and DVD's. I have those. Those are very well worth it. I've the Senna book by Tom Rubython, the Grand Prix Data Book (goes up to 2005), a 50 years of F1 book, and the SPEED Addicts book. DVD's I have the uber amazing 50 Years of F1 Onboard.

I was considering getting a shirt or something, but they're so bloody expensive, and since Scott Speed will probably by gone by the end of the year, it didn't seem worth it. I own a Champ Car shirt, a Will Power shirt, and a James Hinchcliffe shirt, and I have a lot of NASCAR stuff from back in the day. Most of my gear is NFL and MLB related.

For diecasts, I do have a custom-made NASCAR one that has the same paint scheme and logos as the race truck I drive on Saturday nights. I have a Bobby Labonte NASCAR championship one from 2000. The rest I donated when I moved out.

I used to have a Mika Hakkinen and a Heinz-Herald Frentzen car from McDonald's Happy Meals. I think they were from like 1999. (Yes, I'm confessing I still liked Happy Meals even when I was 16).

I actually have quite a few 1:18 scale F1 models form recent years. I have all but 1 of Michael Schumacher's Ferrari's from 1996 as well as all but 1 of Mark Webber's various cars. I also have a rare "test" car driven by Schumacher which I've been tols is worth AUD$700.00. But as I always say, it's only worth as much as someone is prepared to pay for it. I love collecting them but my wife doesn't share my enthusiasm - they are quite expensive so I only collect the one's I really want. I will try to post a photo if anyone is interested.

I had a couple of 1/18 models but got bashed by me :D ! I had Rafie's 2002 BMW Williams F1 car & Alonso's 2004 Renault car until I gave them away to my 3 year old cousin! I was gonna post some images of my 1/24 scale model of the '89 Ferrari 348tb but it won't let me :angry::angry: !

I've collected heaps of models over the years. I mainly collect 1:18 scale F1 and Australian V8 Supercar models. I have been meaning to start a thread on this topic for some time now. I've got the complete listing of my extensive collection on the computer at home. I'll post up my collection on Monday or Tuesday.

One thing is sure they are very expensive and very expensive to display properly with sealed cabinets and lights.
