    Here's some that I have:

    Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry 1969 Dodge Charger R/T 1/18 by Autoworld

    I wanted a model of this car since I was a kid, so when I saw this, I knew I wanted it. I also got a 1/64 one by Greenlight, which they released under their GLMuscle series.

    Though it's the same car from Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry, nowhere on the packaging does Greenlight address it.
    1967 Eleanor Mustang 1/18 by Greenlight

    1965 Pontiac GTO Hurst Edition 1/18 by Maisto

    1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 1/18 by Motor Max

    The Bluesmobile 1/18 by Ertl

    It's one of the oldest models I've got
    DeLorean Time Machine BTTF Part 3 version 1/24 by Welly

    Vanishing Point 1970 Dodge Challenger 1/64 by Johnny Lightning

    Wagon Queen Family Truckster from National Lampoon's Vaction 1/64 by Greenlight

    Ghostbusters Ecto-1 1/64 by Hot Wheels

    I saw this at Walmart, and I couldn't pass it up
    Christine 1958 Plymouth Fury 1/64. One by Hot Wheels, the other by Autoworld

    I think I bought both of these together

    Here's my miniature collection.

    I prefer 1/43 scale, because I can actually fit them in my apartment and they still have enough detail.

    Right now I'm collecting cars that were common in Estonia(east-europe) in early to mid '90s, apart from some cars that were just interesting, like the TÅ¡aika. I am looking for a horde of vehicles, including mk2 and mk3 VW Golfs, Ford Sierras, Audi 80 B3-B4, Audi 100 C2-C3, Opel Kadetts from late 80s and so on... List is nearly endless. Also looking for all cars that I have owned plus my family has owned(we have had 53 cars in total)

    Interestingly it is really difficult to find 80s and 90s normal road cars. Nearly all models I can find are either classic cars from 1970 and before, brand new cars or race/supercars. The models I have cost 2.50 euros a piece. Unfortunatly they are pretty much the cheapest I've seen. For example, I was looking for mk2 Ford Probe. Could not find any locally, and the ones I found abroad were over 40 euros, plus around 20 euros for shipping...

    I do have a bunch of papercraft models, which are simplistic because I designed them myself. I have 212 pictures of my papercraft cars so I decided not to litter them here. Posted a couple of them, almost all of them are modified plus one is my own design from 2005 or so.

    The Volvo is actually a remote control car, was extremely cheap so I thought why not to get it.

    Restoration in progress: Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Convertible by ANSON, scale 1/14.

    Working rear spoiler. Leatherette seats, and genuine carpets inside.

    Needs a wash. A hint of paint rash. Tires are melting due to the hot summer climate.

    Very nice!

    Who manufactures the VW Jetta/Vento in the penultimate picture? Kinda reminds me of some lovely-built german toy cars I used to have as a kid, but I really can't remember the brand name.

    Wiking is the manufacturer of the VW. They make some great vehicles! Busch also makes some quality models with a lot of detail!

    Wiking was the brand I had in mind.

    Had quite a few of their 1:87 scale models as a kid. :)
    Nice!

    Is that an original Dinky or a modern replica?
