SCALE DIECASTS

Jamie,, do you collect (get given, either way) scale models of each of your race cars. i think i remember seeing a 2006 1:18 car floating around when V8 Xtra did a thingy at "The Pad" a while back.

Cheers

Yes mate, I have all my cars in 1:18, except my GRM 2003 #33 car. Does anyone have one?

I am fairly sure they didn’t make them

I had the VX all year till the last round at Eastern Creek, that was the all car shoot out round which was fun.

I am sure I have seen a VX of mine?

Sorry Jamie,

i had a look on classic carlectables website, they never made a 2003 GRM Supercar. sadly but i think GRM’s livery was pretty much the same between 2002-2003 i dont remember.

Donna, that sounds like a 1:64 scale model thats a fair price for it. nice score too.

Like i said Rohan, not a collector of cars, but a bargain is a bargain.

I love collecting……..haven’t bought one for about two years which is disappointing……..Hoping to earn enough money one day to buy a large cabinet and put all models into there………all Bathurst and championship winners from say 1996 when I started to watch V8’s (6yrs old!)

I collect model cars. When I first started, it was 1:43s. but I now own 3 1:18s, the TV truck and the Championship Ford trifecta pack.

Jamie, I will contact my model dealer and see if he has any info about your GRM 2003 #33 car. Will let you know how I go.

thanks Mel i was actually gunna ask which one he was after, the std VT or the Winton reverse colours VS.

Ben they never made a 2003 GRM car at all.

i have about 40 1:18 scale & 80ish 1:43’s & about to start getting the 1:64 for my son.

VERY ADDICTIVE HOBBY!! (expensive also)

the only way to get a 03 #33 whincup car is a code 3 (make it yourself)

We have just started collecting them for my 2yr old son we have all the cars from last year apart from Lowndes 888 … But he doesnt understand why he cant play with them .. so we just got him a HRT one which is now outside in the dirt SOMEWHERE !!

I have only just started collecting them, and lookout when you start theres no turning back.
My sister gave me the 1/43 scale version of Betta Electrical car that won Bathurst in 06, so since then I have brought the famous 1981 Tru Blu Falcon and Marcos’s Pirtek championship BA.
I would love to buy the bigger version but way too expensive so the 1/43 will have to do for now.
I have been hangin out for the Vodafone cars to come out so I put my name down at the shop here in Bendigo that sells them and I went in there yesterday and asked if they have them yet and he said ” uuuum yeah we have had them and they sold out, sorry but must’ve forgot to ring you” grrrrr.. But apparently they are getting more of the 07 Bathurst winning model which is really the one I want. I will have to get this years too after Jamie wins the championship and then him & Craig go $ win Bathurst again this year, he he.
