Thanks, guys - good to know about Exoto.

I've got several 1:18 which are mostly AutoArt or Kyosho due to their quality & price point. I never thought I'd spend that much money on a 1:18 until a friend got a GMP McLaren M8A (GMP - Bruce McLaren / McLaren M8A). The detail on that thing was phenomenal!

btw - Sunstar did a line of 1:18 Elise GT1 cars in different liveries. They're not great but they're pretty inexpensive.

Yeah... but you'll smile when you pour that glass of single malt, spark up that stogie, and glance over at the bookshelf and see it.
