Added to the stable! (ot)
Hooray!!! I just bought 8 new cars. In addition to:
Porsche 911 GT1 Champion Racing
Porsche GT3
Porsche 928
Ferrari 333sp
Ferrari 328
Ferrari 360 Modena
Ferrari F40
Mercedes DTM racer
Lotus M250
Jaguar xj220
I bought:
Another Ferrari 333sp (in red this time)
Ferrari 550 Maranello
Ferrari 348tb
Ferrari 512M
Ferrari 355 Challenge
Ferrari 456GT
Chevy Corvette softop
BMW 850i
Oh yeah, did I mention this was a hotwheels collection?? VROOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!
ps: the reason that I have so many darn Ferraris is attributed to the fact that hotwheels has chosen to produce every f-ing Ferrari they can think of, and I have only found 3(!!!) Porsches. Maybe I'll have better luck next time. Stupid hotwheels are addictive.

well AutoArt makes a 1:18 scale Murcielago in that color.. you can get it at any of the good online die cast places, for instance, <a href="http://www.exoticar.com" target="_blank">www.exoticar.com</a> has em for $50.. expensive yes, but all AutoArt models are ~50 
The one I got is a Maisto model, only $15 .. supposedly the quality isnt as good, but I like em, oh and they do make an Orange one too.. but its hard to find (theres a couple on ebay for $30). Heres a pic of the AutoArt ones:
interesting how the yellow ones look fairly orange
anyway have fun! <img src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" border="0" alt="[bigbye]" />

Too bad you don't live near Boston as Exoticar had one of their semi-annual "tent" sales. They open up the warehouse (in Avon, MA) and have everything on sale. I was able to pic up this 1/18th: 
to go with the Champion GT1 with the same paint scheme. Made by UT (maker of AutoArt, but lower price line) it is nicely detailed and best of all paid $20 instead of the $30.
Cheers,

i dont like those racecars because of their paint schemes, but whenever i can find a racecar minus crazy paint i usually get it
i could go to boston for something like that, im not that far away, in fact my school is only about an hour away.. and im willing to travel an hour for porsches and models
