oh yes-I have lots of cars it what has become a "model car shrine" in my house. Mostly Tamiya and other RC Porsches, plus a 1/8th scale Pocher 993.

Sorry-I do not have any Porsche model pics handy here at the office but I do have pics of a somewhat related 1/10 scale RC VW that I kit bashed from a few Tamiya kits with stuff from the parts bin. Still has all working RC components as well-These were taken in my driveway.

Yup, I have a 993 GT1 from Tamiya that I still have to put together, always looking for another 993 Die cast model and my wife is always buying me Porsche books.

Wow, you all have some great collections! I wish I had the time to build models or collect cars. If I did have the time, I think my little one would trash them within minutes. Though I can tell he's a car fanatic like his dad...anything he sees with wheels is a, "CAR CAR."

Where are Robert and JoAnne???
They have something like 2,000 models plus other collectables (including a 917 engine block) in their home/shrine.
A search may uncover the photos they've posted before
