that is sufficient for me

but you can get so much more. Every Mini Dealer has pretty much every Mini in scale 1/43 in every color. That was a really big deal between BMW and Minichamps.
I have one too, the classic, 'real' Mini

. You can see it on my own website

.
Of the new MINI I don 't collect too much models, because my feelings are going to the classic Mini, so if I see a good model or a version of which I didn 't own a model, I'll buy it most of the time.
About the Shelby Cobra, I'll waiting to December for Minichamps' version, I'm a die-hard

.
About my collection; I don 't know how much models I have exactly, but I think I 've about 75 models, most in scale 1:43 and 1:24 (kits). And a lot of Siku toy-cars, about 60 models

.
It all beguns when I was 10 years old and buy a 1:24 kit of a Chevrolet Camaro. When this model was finished, I see I have feeling for it and it is nice to do it and make the modelkits more and more perfect and detailed.
At a moment I want to have a model of the Volvo C70, but there were no kits of it. Then I saw a model of it made by Minichamps in scale 1:43 (the red one in my collection), and so it beguns

.
Now I only collect models of special cars of the manufactures which I like; the English cars such as Bentley and Mini, Audi, Volvo are my favourites. And off course I collect models of the Dutch car brands as Spyker and (hopefully soon) Donkervoort.
That's in short the story of my collection in English
