    Has anyone owned both the Exoto & TSM Tyrrell P34 (6 wheeler) F1 car, which is the better model? I'm considering picking up TSM's Silverstone P34 with the air box fitted, but not sure if the TSM is better in terms of quality and detail compared to the Exoto

    I had the Exoto P34. Quite plasticy and thought the engine detail is good the front suspension was a bit cheap. Paint and tyres remained in good condition though!

    I haven't owned the Exoto but I've seen it. I owned 2-3 of the TSM versions and vastly prefer those

    Got to love Ebay sellers using your own photos to sell thier items without asking to use them. Toronot Motorsport are using my 997 Matmut photos, item 161731081135. This is the fifth seller I've come across using my photos. they're not even great photos lol

    It happened to me a few times before, and as annoying as it is, there is nothing you can do but ask them to remove them.

    Anyone from the U.K. had trouble sending tracked parcels to France. A parcel i posted on 29/04 has been sat with ROISSY CTCI IMP RAP for over a week with the status processing for delivery, it's been this way since 02/05/15.

    I recently sent one to France and it did take quite a while to be delivered after arriving in the country. But it did eventually turn up and in good condition. Good luck, I'm sure it will be OK.

    the ride height is off, but I think that's the only issue. I bought the Minichamps off a guy that was upgrading to the Exoto. The detail level is incredible.

    Ok I just took mine out of the box, yes the ridde height is an issue although I wouldn't say a very big one.The bonnets don't fit properly on the main body, I mean for such an expensive model they should fit a bit better, they leave some noticeable shut lines... and the front part of mine doesn't seem to want to be on the model. Anyway I managed to put everything on it and it looks pretty good. The detail is really good, Sauber C9 and Nissan R89 level (or almost). Maybe I'll g...

    Does anyone know if Exoto released thier Jagermeister 935 as an individual model or if it's only available as part of the 934/935 Jagermeister twin pack? I only seem to see the Jagermeister 935 sold as part of the twin pack, while the 934 is sold both separately and as part of the twin pack.

    Is there anyway i can leave negative feedback on ebay for a buyer who does not pay for an item they won? I need to open a case so i can claim back my fees, but once the case is closed i know i ebay won't let me leave neg feedback (a joke tbh because how will others know they are a non payer)

    It's a shame ebay don't force payment via Paypal after the 4 day period is up. They seem to be able to do it to sellers if a dispute is raised against an item sold. As in the funds are frozen in your paypal account when the dispute is raised by the buyer.

    Does anyone know if Autoart produce two different versions of their white Porsche 997 4.0? I've seen pictures of the white 4.0 with white or graphite coloured wheels. Is one version a DE and one a regular release?

    How can ebay get away with advertising an exchange rate on the site then when you come to pay the exchange rate reduces. Just bought something from Europe. Exchange rate on the BIN was 1.18 Euros to the pound. Once purchased and paying through paypal it dropped to 1.15 Euros to the Pound.

    sorry for the anpother 'how much should i pay' question. I'm looking to but a 1:18 BBR Ferrari 458 GT2, #51 AF Corse. Is £260 about right for one of these? Don't want to pay over the odds for one.

    Had an impulse buy moment and bought my next 1:18, but i'm starting to regret it as it doesn't really fit in with the rest of my collection :(. I hope when the car arrives i'm glad i bought it. Thought i'd got past these impulse buys but obviously not

    Price is mad - but no one ever sells them.

    Teejay sold his one a while back, think it was £700

    The ebay seller has a West Minichamps model too, that one is also stupidly rare.

    Import Taxes are a joke. Bought a 1:43 Spark Porsche 935 from the U.S., cost of car £29.95, cost of postage £9.70. Import taxes an additional £13.30 of which £8.00 is a handling fee, robbing barstewards.
