    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...

    Just when I thought I knew who my mates were...

    I fell for 155s nine years ago.....still love them now!

    I guess the models reflect that.....and the Matta!

    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

    Oh, this...this is more than I could guess. I can smell some history here, which I like very much, and no doubt again... a lot of passion. As you have Matta on your history corner, I have this dream with the Duetto. I hope some day I'll reach my dream too.
    I like your way of life, because this is what ALFA is, isn't it?

    Congrats,

    My favorites at the moment are two antonette43 155's wb! models.






    Second picture is not mine but i have this model here.
    Antonette 43 makes handbuild very high quality models. The detail is amazing, but they are pretty expensive. (130 euro before custom tax each! ) I had to have them as it is the only version of the widebody 155 i know of. (next to the 17 155 stw versiuons.)
    Inside you can see the seatbelts, and the correct climat control buttons.

    Both versions are sold out already as i heard.

    I have both the sport(with black speedlines.) and the 16V japan last edition verion with the antracite wheels.

    My whole collection is a lot bigger, these are just the 155's:

    I have *all* herpa 155 17 ones. Plus all the trucks in 17.
    And the albedo 155 dtm trailer. (lots of the same. I bought the lot. )
    10 * 1:18 ut models dtm.
    2 * abc brianza. 1 gta 1 v6ti. 1:43
    8 remember build 155's (v6ti, gta, polizia, some more on order.)
    50 minichamps dtm/btcc in 1:43
    2 street minichamps 1:43
    1 handbuild gta in 1:43 not sure wich kit.

    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. )

    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.

    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.

    Thanks steve.
    And yes it looks very much like a smallbody Q4 with the original upholstry.
    And it is a model i did not have already.

    And the 155 zagato from carpin in white.
    Sorry for the bad picture quality. But my cameraphone is my camera.

    And for the filling of the cabinet i also got these:



    155 V6TI keychain and the still unworn martini watch.

    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!

    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.
