Wow! Great collection there vaas!

Thanks Moeed, here's one more:

1952 Citroen 15CV 6Cyl - 1:18

Make: Maisto MFG Year: 2006!
I first found this in Bangalore Central Mall few months back, the box was badly banged up but the car was good, i asked for discount and was flatly refused, so had to let go this then

Fast forward to last month and i happened to be at the same place during their up to 50% off sale. Found that they had flat 20% off on all maisto products! Picked this up with discount She was thankfully still in good condition thanks to some good soul there who had taped up the box so people couldn't open it. My first vintage maisto and she's really a thing of beauty:

Yes, i knew that you will be first one, if not the only one who will name all the 3 cars Also can you tell me about Alfa Romeo 8c? There is a black beauty of burago in model art, is it one of the holy grails/must haves?

8C Competizone is one good looking car, i just love they way it looks, its one of the finest example of Modern italian automboile desgin. I have one in 1:32 scale of Bburago make. If you can just go get it.

Nice cars there, the green lambo looks delicious Please do post pics of vintage cars too.

Here's one more from my end:

Audi TT Roadster - 1:18
Make: Maisto MFG Year: 2006!

Even though am not a big fan of sports cars, i picked this up because it was true VFM. Picked this up in Bangalore Central mall along with Citroen at 20% Discount I was content with having got my hands on the elusive Citroen, then i saw the audi, the fit and finish was unlike the newer maistos, this was simply glowing from inside the box. Not before a pesky mom picked it up thinking it's an RC to show it to her brat, thankfully the brat didn't fancy Audi's looks, and it came home with me
The fit and finish is too good for a maisto, i noticed one thing though, this Audi and Citroen are both made in thailand, both have better quality compared to recent chinese make maistos. This was a lucky pick for me, i never really expected to come across an Audi and that too of this quality at 20% off! Here are few pics: Will post last set of pics later.

Thanks haroon, yeah, i was at the right place at the right time at least once in my life Citroen is indeed a beauty, did you notice that she doesn't have dog legs for doors? unlike typical maisto.
All these cars didn't divert me from my primary obsession, bikes. Next i will post pics of bikes which i picked up at discount sale some time last month

[vaas2000]

I collect 1:12 bikes and bigger, but these 1:18 MotoGps were being sold at pantaloons here at 20% off some time last month So they came at 200 bucks each Am sure everyone knows Make/model and horoscope of these bikes, so i won't post details





Along with their 1:10 cousins:

My 1:12 model 2004 Yamaha YZF R1
