Offline | Do MINI owners collect car models? I'm just wondering, how many of us, MINI owners, collect car models. I've been collecting them since I was a boy. It all started back in the 60s with Matchbox and Corgi Toys models (my favourite model was the Green Hornet's "Black Beauty" (Corgi Toys)!). My parents say that I wanted nothing but toy cars when I was a boy!...Now, as a grown man, I'm still the same! I still collect models, mostly 1:43s, and I have and cherish most of my old Corgis and Matchbox models...including Corgi Toy's "Black Beauty"! ![]() |

Online | I can't post my vote as my option isnt there... ...I have about 50 1/18 models that I've been collecting since I was about 12 (not almost 25) so I'd hardly say I was just starting. They're all in boxes at mo In fact they have been since I moved house 2 years ago. Not gt anywhere to put them in new house yet ![]() Think Im going to start collecting the 1/43 from now on. |

Offline | Well, maybe I should have added another option there! Sorry! But, even if you're not starting your collection, maybe you could opt for the 4th poll option. It's pretty close. Isn't it? ![]() |

Offline | Less than a hundred for me. I havent purchased one for quite a few years now. Mainly collected limited edition stuff, or hard-to-come-by models, such as the UT McLaren F1's. I think I have about 30 or 40 models now, including all scales - and only 2 of them are MINIs For shame Scotty, for shame ![]() - Global Moderator - MY BLOG - Global Procrastinator - ![]() ...

Offline | Although I am relatively a newbie, I'm a sucker for collecting models of cars that I own. I have MINIs and Minis from very small (1:43) to large (1:8), both static and remote control one. I also have a smal number of Austin Healey Sprites, esp Mk2A. I even have a Bugeye cookie jar Otherwise, it's a random splattering from Porsche 356A, F1s, even an yellow RX8. Chris |

If anyone knows where I can get a Fiat Panda (red, later model with the full grille) from I would be very grateful. Tony.
