I try to collect all the real cars I’ve owned

So here we have the fast and furious silver series collection. I just wanted to post some pics of these outside of the package, for those who would be interested in seeing them and hadn't purchased them yet. I think that all of the wheel choices for each car is excellent, the tampos are crisp and aligned on each car with no pixelation, and all of them roll well, except for the RX7, which, for some reason, has a toe issue with the wheels in the rear. If you look closely in the pictures you can see it and this prevents the car from rolling in any way. Hopefully this isn't an issue with everyone of them out of the factory, but I truly believe that my rear axle is bent on both ends. I have no plans to roll these around at all. And they will just be displayed so it won't be a total deal breaker for me personally. Overall, I like the set in its entirety, and I like the smoked look of the paint on the supra the most. The charger being zamac is pretty cool.

Diecastgari had asked for pics of 1/64 Mondo Motors castings I had.

Most of these were sold with Top Gear branding, and many of the cars had Stig driving them. The cars seemed quite unique with nice castings when they came out years ago, but you can clearly see how advanced diecast has gotten. Wheels are hard plastic but roll quite well if that is your thing. The MC12 Corsa I don't think is available anywhere else

Cars include: blue MC12, black MC12 Corsa, red Fuat Abrath 500, yellow Renault Megane Trophy, red renault Megane II, blue Renault Clio RS, silver Pagani Huayra, red Mercedes SLS, and silver Mercedes SL65

New rims on the riviera. Love the purple and gold together been waiting to find the right car to put these on.
