being a child i have a 1:18 model of every car i've owned, in the appropriate colour (OCD or what)
i'm currently unable to find a burnt orange evora though. any ideas where i could maybe get one - remember i'm banned from ebay and paypal (for several hundred transactions where i bought something for £5 then immediately sold it again for £50)
thanks

Might be worth a PM to LotusLee.
Think he might have an even bigger OCD problem on the model car front.

I have a small collection of my most recent cars and bikes in 1:18 scale but not quite as OCD as my colours aren't correct. Most of mine came from e-bay though so can't help you with a supplier.

Quick search showed up this:

(Edit to add - doesn't look they are for sale but it does show they are being made.)

I tried a similar venture, in any scale..
I think it's a nice idea, but there is some issues with certain cars, for example, I now need to have a model S1 repainted in roulette green, and no one seems to sell a model mk2 VW Jetta, nor a 100HP Panda for that matter..

i was buying replica 10g gold bars for £5 and then selling on as replica gold bars for £50. people assumed that my bars would somehow be better as they were more expensive. i was caught cos i bought and sold from the same account and someone checked my purchase history!
also did a similar thing with manmade diamonds. buy for £10 sell for £300.
didnt have to give any of the cash back as i was selling exactly what was in the advert and people were stupid enough to buy it but it's appartently not in the spirit of ebay/paypal so i'm now banned from both.
