Adam's right, there was a road livery hotwheels 300 on the bay just before I started the topic that Pete has linked too, I was gonna go for it, but it went proper silly money. I'm tempted for ne of the bigger ones at some point, but the I have 3 proper 300's too ;)

The way I collect the real thing you'd think they were models, wish they took up the same sort of space as the mini versions!

I also keep thinking about getting one of the larger plastic models, but I'm not incredibly keen tbh. They're good, but models made by people such as Minichamps and Revell are really top notch on detail, right down to the interior, even on a 1:43 scale model.

Reckon they'd do a custom interior for a model for me??? Not that it would be accurate for very long....

LOL, well Chris, they could try, and if they made it into a softop version at least you could still get to the interior to mod it! LOL, seriously though, on the Minichamps model my Dad has of an Amazon, despite it being 1:43 scale, they have got the interior spot on. Unlike some companies use a standard steering wheel etc, they've got everything right, even the bulges in the padded dash.
