That button helmet doesn't look right.
Checked the balance?

You're giving me ideas that involve parting with my money. Stop it. Please.

Ikea Billy bookcases are great. Only problem is these damn long wheelbase 2010+ cars only fit 4 to a shelf, I can get 6 on a shelf if refuelling is allowed!Snap, plus...
Just need to get around to ordering a display case
I've seen a clear acrylic display case that 6 x 1:18 cars would fit in, plus I think the 2 helmets should just while I wait to acquire 2 more cars. It's just being bothered to order it!
Although they are all Mclarens, it alternates between Hamilton and Button 2008-2011. (Button is in the 2009 MP4-24 which he obviously never raced, but it's classed as the 2010 showcar).
If one of them moves I'm not sure what I'd do, go with a different team and stick with the driver, or keep to Mclaren

I once bid upto £2500 on one of jv's race winning helmets from the 97 season and £950 on his gloves. Sadly I didn't win either or should I say luckily
Nice collections, I have loads of 1/18s upto the year 2002. They have been in the loft since I last moved house. My fav is the 97 Williams on a plinth detailing the races and results.
I do like those smaller scale helmets, I think its a shame these days that they change the designs so often.
Haven't seen much of you in these parts for quite a while, nice to see you around again

So has anyone been following the Global Rallycross Championship. Round 2 was at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend, featuring a bloody massive jump.
For those that have never seen it, although it's named the Global championship, races take place only in the states and one round at the X-games. Drivers include Ken Block, Marcus Gronholm, Travis Pastrana, Dave Mirra, Rhys Mullen, Tanner Foust to name a few. The track consists of long straights, jumps, chicanes, wet and dry track, shortcut and 4 - 6 cars running alongside each other.
Some real good action this weekend, especially in the second to last race with just one car finishing.
Here's a youtube link to all the races from the weekend:
