i remember my own share of "collecting" die-cast models in italy...

italians take their die-cast models VERY VERY VERY SERIOUSLY...

Hotwheels should not make models such as Ferrari. I find that the quality is lacking. Autoart, Exoto and BBM, are top notch builders that should do these cars.

I was in that same shop like 6 months ago, I think you should show a pic of how close it is to the actual museum, it just shares the parking lot.

Im not a Ferrari guy, i'm more JDM, so I got exactly to the Ebbro section like you show in the pics (funny thing i've seen zero jdm cars in my travel to Italy), another funny thing is the number of Ferrari memorabilia stores around Maranello, its just an epic town and full of Ferrari life, even the restaurant across the Ferrari factory is full of engine displays and pictures all around. I dont know if you guys got to enter the circuit but they didnt allowed me to go in, so I just jumped the fence around one of the streets leeding to it, close to a Ferrari garage full of goodies lying around in the garden.

Dino you should really take the time to go to Torino and check out the Nardi factory, worth seeing how an Italian manufacturer became Japanese favorite.

Still waiting for Minichamps to release a Porsche 962, 935 "moby ***", and a Audi Pikes Peak Quattro in 1:18.

damn! its payday today.

and YOU just made me want to check out my local die-cast shop and get some. they have that flat black 575 GTC here and i've been eyeing it for quite som time now.. im much more tempted after this post. haha!

i really love this type of coverage.

i wonder if you guys know some shops in japan as well and cover them as well. just to see if their line-ups differ.

kudos!
