This one is for Salman ! Never grow up !
Many of you probably know the Hotwheels.
Cheap, but well made 1/64 scale cars, packed in a very cool plastic and cardboard.
Most of the Hot Wheels are fantasy cars (non existing) but they also have a lot of real existing cars.
And most of them are epic models, German, JDM, French (not many) , Italian, American etc ... .
The hunt for Hotwheels is a big adventure and there are so many interesting places you get to visit 
:
Aldi
Wallmart
Tedi
any big warehouse has them in their racks ...
The reward when coming home is getting to admire your newly acquired treasures.
Talking about epic models:

Talking about epic models:
They even have this epic key-chain ...
It certainly looks better than the 800 USD 'real deal'
The coolest one is the bare metal keychain.
I hear you all coming ! Collecting cheap kid toy cars is ridiculous. So no worries, I'm keeping the big toys and might buy one of those as well in the near future.
More examples of my hunting ...
Prices vary from 1,50 € (1,18 USD at Wallmart LOL) to 15 € or there abouts.
Heck ! You can even enjoy them while lying in your sofa watching tele
You can drink as many beers as you wish without risking to loose your license !
Oh ! Here we are again, In between collecting these toys I bought a real Ducati, albeit it a very old one.
Sometimes I have the impression it's getting kinda out of hand, that's what Salman told me : Be careful my friend, it'll get out of control
.
No Howheels but another brand. Same size though. I bought these because HW doesn't make a lot of Renaults, certainly not my Megane.
Never grow old my friends, change your workspace into HotWheels heaven ;-)
My wife says I'm nuts but I don't care ...
.. and neither does she as well
I love the Carrera RS, white, yellow, orange and red. They're pretty hard to find.
So my advice to Salman:
Go out and I wish you a good hunt ;-)

Thank you mon ami !
I wish you the very same and for your family ! Now go out and hunt those Hotwheels !!!
Here it is....
I literally just took the shot, pardon the less than ideal lighting. There's a self-evident bias here ☺️.... ...
Thank you! I did try to balance it out a bit even though....
It's heavily American muscle car bound, I should definitely get a Shelby Cobra like you have!! There's a few Matchbox cars in there, like the DBS Volante, orange Ford Bronco, and green VW Golf MkI. A few premium (all metal) HotWheels like the Ford GTs, Da...
We have the same purple Jesko...
Which I think is a reference to the real life variant seen in testing here: And I am also a big fan of Hot Wheels more generally. I try to collect my very favourite cars, like these German models here: Porsche (Carrera GT, 997 911 GT2, 997 GT3 RS), Merced...
Fun !
The mainline cheap models are already well made but the more expensive ones are something else. The C-class is amazing, I saw it a few weeks ago and didn't buyout ... shame on me. My absolute favorite is the DTM 155 V6 Ti .. it's also one of my favorite (...
I went from not noticing them at all, to having to have a look every time I am at a store that sells them.
+1 on the cool Porsche keychain. I have the same one!
Same here !
I bought a silver McLaren F1 a year ago, simply because it was an F1 and thought it was a fun object to have. A few months later I bought a red Carrera RS 2.7 .... and another few months after that the madness started. I already bought over 300 in the pas...
Awesome collection! I love that they made models of cool cars that were rare cars. Somewhere I have a box of them that were once running across a long wall. Attached in a way that was
hard to discern. I cut a couple of them in half at an angle so one half could be turning into a black "tunnel" and then further down the wall it's other half (painted a different color) was coming out of the tunnel. The only one I have now amongst other g...
That's a cool idea !
Cutting them in half .. time to take out my angle grinder ;-) The 787B is epic, I think I bought 5
Yes !!! I feel like a King !
Not many people can say now they own so many supercars as I do
I love this!
I remember my mom making an after school trip to the local department store if I was good and getting me a Hot Wheels or Matchbox car. In retrospect it may have been to keep me quiet while she was making dinner. Also have/had a number of Corgi and Burago ...
My pleasure !
Never throw your old stuff away ! It's always fun to go through your parents basement (or attic) searching through your old stuff.
It’s a very fun and addictive hobby…
I regularly get one when we’re at a toy store with the kids, too. I also have about 60 or so 1:18 model cars. Those can be quite exquisite in terms of detailing but are also a different price point and require a lot more space. And need to be kept away fr...
Didn't see your reply mon ami !
Keep buying and collecting LOL. Try to have a look at the MiniGT cars, especially those KAIDO House models. Yes ! That's 1/64 scale ...
