Minichamps takes over the world.....

[domski]

To quote a friend...

Does anything else exist? :o

No good luck message for DD'ers in race section :lol:

No discussion on the DD series at CC :lol:

is everyone else giving up? :o













This is just spoof thread, please don't take offense ;)

I'm sure your toys are very good fun :lol: (joking again)

[beancounter]

I know you're joking Dom but I think you have a valid point.

Webteam, how about a Minichamps forum ? (for all those who are interested, of course)

[JPM]

Still going to appear in todays posts, I don't mind it's good fun watching the silly money going for these things, hopefully one day the few I have might be worth anywhere near these prices

The difference between men and boys - is the price of their toys !:)

I think you'll find that's the difference between rich and poor :lol:

Besides, I'm faster than you :saint:

To be honest I don't see enough interest in it to start a new forum. Maybe not yet anyway.

If there was enough interest then I'd have a word to Eamonn.

It's more like DD takes over the world! I know it's important, but I get a bit bored with the amount of DD threads sometimes.

It's the same as anything on here - if you like it, read it, and if not, then don't!!!

I dunno Tim, look at the amounts of money some of these guys have invested in some of these models, you could buy yourself a nice bike if you sold them all

What's next on the list mate ?

Each to their own !

I prefer to 'collect' the real thing

(see below)

Ah - I'm actually looking for a new car at the mo - can't decide that either.

Too much choice I reckon.

I've been debating the idea of getting a van or similar for a while, but these big 4x4 jobbies (with flatbeds) that I could use to take the bike in are of interest. Some of them are huuuuge!!!

I can't justify having too many vehicles aorund the place (bikes-yes, cars-no), so am looking for a performance vehicle that can tow a trailer, or hold a bike.

Most sports cars can't take a towbar (exhaust box issues) - although you can get these removeable jobbies on some cars that are OK.

I'm presently looking at a 5 litre V8 400bhp (you might be able to guess) vehicle that if I can get a towbar sorted, might be sitting happily on my drive soon.

I am looking at both of these - there's something understated about the RS6 that I like, the M5 is my present favourite though. You can get a towbar for these and it might meet all requirements.

How was the 540i ?

Absolutely awesome..... It was an older one but it was lovely... I was on first name terms with all the staff at my local Sainsburys fuel station though :lol::lol::lol::lol:

I was only pulling yer leg.

It bothers me not one bit that people chat about Minichamps or Desmo Due or Flymo's or Knitting. I was purely messing about and provoking some banter ;)

The wrist is getting better thanks, day by day, and I should be fine for Castle Combe. I reckon it should come good almost on the day we race.

Are you coming up from the darkside?

May see you there dude... bring yer toys :lol: :P

[deej]

yeah i know you were and i was only pulling yours back


i'll see how much cash ive got left when i get back form honeymoon but will try my best to support my local service machine and his team

good luck if i dont make it, shame i never got my race licence as i could act as a wildcard for you if you fail a fitness test :lol::lol::lol:

What's wrong with having a honeymoon at the romantic Castle Combe :lol:

Louigi has a list of wildcards :o

I dunno, you brake an arm and everyone wants your bike :(

Glad I'm not racing my missus :lol:
