You should know better than that, Guggga Big Grin

Congratulations on a fine addition to your burgeoning collection, K2.

^^ I should have added "unsuccessfully" before "convince" to that sentence. Tongue

A beautiful Poker reminded me of the topgear episode where they test it against an f-40 lookss brute compared to other pokers which are curvy and subtle Smile

’64 is a nice model to have. I want that in my collection. How about a 356?
As for the F40, it's no surprise that I have the Kyosho one in my wishlist (and not the light-weight version but the stock original version). But the price right now is a bit forbidding and I haven't bought a single one till now from ebay or any other international site.

Same is on my list too, if any better deal comes I will let you know, vice versa if you come to know please let me know.

Thanks mate First of all you picked a wrong cause, convincing yourself that you don't need a 959 Any Porsche lineup is simply incomplete without the 959 man, so if you are a Porsche fan, you gotta get a 959, simple as that I hope I have resolved your dilemma

And you don’t think / figure of 356 in that??

but again... thats just my opinion...
the 3 porsches that just didn't do it for me were the 959 and 914 and 928!

And I love the 914, irrespective of its quirkiness. This along with the ’64 911 and the 356 will be in Porsche line up, all of them being classic Big Grin

Also, I don't ever remember driving the 959 in NFS Porsche. My most loved Porshes are the ones that handled well on NFS. Yeah...stupid twisted logic but I think that game was the best I played before touching GT 3 & 4 on PS2.

Winston, I was so in love with the 959 that I actually downloaded the car separately from the official NFS website so that I could play with it in NFS Porsche Big Grin

And it was a crazy car alright in the game!! My other favourite was the insane 911 GT1 Smile

That is why I think you did a good job persuading yourself to get the 959 while there are still plenty of them available,Gugggster.

Aaahhaa....isn't that always the story Sid?? Smile

There's just so much to buy at one time and the list is practically endless Smile

This is one hobby which requires a lot of tradeoffs every time.

Lovely photos too

F40 as other should be your pic..

Thanks Ravi Xyxthumbs

Aaah...the gorgeous F40, I can never be satisfied by the ordinary HW version but the Kyosho one is just a bit too expensive for me right now. Will have to wait for it I guess.

I love the 356 Manish. I have the 356B from Burago, a fantastic model from them and except for its size being an issue, everything else is quite good Smile

Here's the link to a thread I had posted way back - http://www.scalemodelcarz.com/enter/thread-112.html

And will sure do let you know if I get to know of some deal for the F40 mate Xyxthumbs

Karan, if you are just happy to have an F40, don't hesistate to get a HW. I have the normal hobby edition and it fills the gap nicely. True, it is missing some intricate detail but I am not so bothered. Get the Kyosho only if you are anal about the detail. Also remember that red and black colored Kyoshos have bad paint rash. I am not on a discouragement spree today but speaking from experience or rather bad experience.
