Christmas is coming and I'm looking for some new models for my collection. So what are everyones favorites? I need some hints.

These are a couple of mine.

Minichamps Alfa 33 Stradale. The one that came in a box with booklet and badge.

Anyone else got anything interesting?

While I was reading the forum...
OMG !
I must hurry if I want one like these for myself.
Wrinx, if I'd only have your home adress...

Now seriousely, it's really impressive. I like it a lot and I can imagine what Alfa 155 means for you. Impressive...

Hmmm, tempting...
But if I think twice, after that I'd have to defend it myself from my kids. I remember what happened with a Ferrari collection of mine (btw...Wrinx, watch out because it can be pretty painful). Anyway Jack, won't forget you with this one and hope we'll have the pleasure to drink a beer sometime, it's on me.

Abouyt mates...only God knows what we are capable to do for an 155.
I really have no doubt about you're inlove with 155s, I can see what happened to me in just about few months.
I also have noticed your addiction for the Matta, of course. My congrats.

PS. Sorry if I was a little bit offtopic. Thanks guys,
Chris

Nice collection of 155's...

155 forever!

**wrinx** · 24-12-07, 09:06

Widebody models!!!!! Where did you get them from?

I NEED one

wrinx

**Steve Webb** · 24-12-07, 10:10

I'm in shock there is a 155 model that Wrinx doesn't have! Mind you I've never seen a widebodied road car model before. They look soo much better than the other Q4 models.

I got them here:

http://www.raccoon-auto.com/minicar/...et/antonet.htm

But i was told from them both versions are sold out.
You can mail them in english, and pay by paypal if can find one.

2 more versions should be comming out later on in the new year.

Sorry wrinx. (Made you want one i think.

)

**Q4Jan** · 24-12-07, 12:00

Herpa limited edition (500 pcs)

And this one from herpa is also pretty rare:

For the rest just look in the dutch topic i mentioned above. Carefull of getting greedy.

Wrinx might even find some trackstar cars in there.
And don't worry wrinx has also some models i don't have.

Today "won" (still have to pay it though) something on ebay.

Now i have to wait until it arrives.

I saw that one up on eBay and did think about bidding. Good job i didn't now.

Looks like they did their research when they modeled that one.

**wrinx** · 13-04-08, 05:09

I saw two Remember models on ebay yesterday(?), went for a silly amount of money!

Can't justify paying the money the newer models are going for...@?60-80!

**Q4Jan** · 13-04-08, 15:06

I only buy remembers on ebay if they stay "cheap".
Say below 55 euros.
As i can get them mostly for 70 euro including shipping.
Even the carpin was 70 euro.

Antonette 43 made a 2.5V6 verison of the 1:43 arrivederci alfa romeo 155.
I ordered two on raccoon. If you are fast they might have some.
(one for me, one for a fellow 155 driver.)

**wrinx** · 19-05-08, 11:47

Do you have a link for them, couldn't find anything after a quick search?

wrinx

**Q4Jan** · 20-05-08, 13:29

Here you go.

http://www.raccoon-auto.com/minicar/...et/antonet.htm

If you mail them in english they can make your order.
I pay by paypal.

**Q4Jan** · 07-08-08, 02:45

I got a new favorite.....

A conversion from a Antonette43 sportiva to my own car.

Round blinkers on the side, correct numberplate, no letters on the back, just the Q4 logo, and the HF logo above the side-blinkers.

Only thing wrong are the yellow fog lights, i got white ones. (I could change the original though.

)
