    Last week I did a delivery of officestuff to a local Audi-dealership. I saw a 1/18 scale model of Röhrl's IMSA GTO Audi in a display case next to the counter. It was priced as 125,36€ and checking prices on Ebay afterwards, I found out that was quite cheap, some go for the triple of that amount, since I guess it's a wanted model.
    I went back to the dealership today, they said it was the last one they had in stock, it would sit in the case for ages already. The guy in the store still had the original box for it, a little dusty though. When paying he actually gave me a discount on it, because of it being the last one in stock, so I got it for 110€. I'm super happy with my first purchase of this year <3

    I love that porsche. Had a few wellys in the shop, I got the impala and cobra already, that lack of metal doesn't bother me anymore but if I saw that porsche for $12, I'd buy two and customise one
