This game is simple and fun. Every post ends with a question. Answer the question in the post before yours, and then ask a new question for anyone to answer.

Feel free to include a list, picture, description or anything else you would want to elaborate. Be creative with the questions! Let's try to keep it related to cars and model cars, at least to start off. I'll start.

How old were you when you started seriously collecting?

 

[preisman]

I always had models, but I started back in the collecting in 2009, I was 23. This was my first model coming back into the hobby.

What is your favorite car that you are most embaressed to love?

 

[Nocky]

Well if u mean 1:1, then it's a Renault Fuego! Had two of them in the past. Loved the look and the go! Oh well...

What was your first diecast model ( as opposed to "toy"?

 

[mairandeddy]

A Bburago F40.....still got it somewhere, but no photo,,,,,sorry!

So for the next person, how many different scales do you collect...??

 

[supercars]

Mainly 1/18, but I do buy 1/43 and 1/12 from time to time.

Question: Do you normally find space in your cabinets waiting to be filled, or diecasts waiting for shelfs to sit on?

 

[Mike K]

Shelf space waiting for models.

What Aston Martin models do you have?

 

[Sanchez]

None.

Silhouette of which car is the most iconic?

 

[rotormotor]

1980's Porsche 911 shape

Do you think with the oil supposedly running out this century, current classic cars will be, in the future, retro-fitted electrically with batteries ??

 

[Nocky]

Yes, in fact it has already been done (google electric porsche 911). http://www.treehugger.com/cars/electric-porsche-911-by-ruf-emotions-without-emissions.html
But it think converting you petrol engine to run on hydrogen would be a better option. Ok I know the infrastructure isn't there yet, but if you are only driving it on special occasions then it should work out ok.

Do you have a model "work bench" for modifying or otherwise "playing" with your models?

 

[cyrus43]

Yes. I use a 100+ year old Oak grand dining table which has been passed down from generation to generation. I am thinking of getting it repolished and relayered once as it is getting a bit knackered.

Question: If Ferrari and Lamborghini did not exist, what do you think would be every schoolboy's dream car.

I reckon Pork would have to be the flavour!!

But as Lamborghinis do exist, what is the best colour for them?

How do blind people know when to stop wiping?

I suppose they just check with their fingers. Moisture and texture make it all pretty damn obvious though.

What's the most underrated car or brand on the planet?

Personally, I think it is Fiat. Such a wide collection of awesome brands and yet not very appreciated in most countries.

Question: Carbs of Fuel injection?

Fuel injection

Question: Hyundai or Peugoet?

 

[mairandeddy]

Peugeot!

Q: Are cars really significant in the problem of global warming or is it political hype so they can increase fuel tax?

 

[JSB 33]

No more a problem than Cow Flatulence. Global Warming/Climate change is all about power and money. Nothing else.

Q Do you think any teenage boys have posters of the Toyota Prius on their walls?

 

[Beetle_Guy]

Far be it from me to cast stones - I had a New Beetle poster (as well as a '67 GT500, 911 GT2, and McLaren F1LM), but, oh, how I hope not. And if they do, may a swift punch to their smug teeth be forthcoming. Though, at least the Prius V isn't heinously ugly, unlike the rest of 'em. I thought the first few I saw were a new Mazda 5.

Q. Forza 4 or Gran Turismo 5?

 

[El Cheapo]

Q. Forza 4 or Gran Turismo 5?

I'd probably say Forza. Not that I actually own either, but Forza for me has always been a more 'complete' game. Better AI, damage, and generally just more enjoyable as a game. GT's the better simulator, but anyone after a simulator knows that games like iRacing and rFactor kick all their asses.

Was the rain-delay of today's Daytona 500 a farce, or is driving on an oval on slicks far too much to expect from the formula?

 

[cyrus43]

I think safety is of a primary concern. Although don't they have wet compound racing tires in the US?

Question: do you think the new Ferrari F620 looks as good as the F40!!
