2002 Winning Similarities

My wife pointed this out to me after the V8 supercar race yesterday about Ferrari & HRT.

Both No.1 Drivers are MS
Both have No.1 on the car
Both drive red cars
Both teams have biggest budgets for formula of racing
Both drivers are killing the opposition so far this year, "ok Michael has had Rubens help"

I thought she didn't take notice, I wonder if she takes as much notice of the cars in the cabinet, if she does Iam in trouble I snuck 2 new cars in last week.

Any one else got any to add

yeah, both MSs are at times arrogant. fans either love them or hate them. both manufacturers use an animal as their marque. (lion for holden/HSV, prancing horse for ferrari)
both drivers lost their respective 1999 championships, but won the next two (2000, 2001).
talk about de ja vus....... this is beginning to scare me.

You missed one. Both teams need a seperate transporter to carry around said drivers ego!


Try moving your models arround when you toss in the new ones. It helps to hide them in the confussion;)

Thanks for the tip Moffat Fan, the hardest one I ever had to slip in was the 1/6th scale Prost AP02 and the matching credit card voucher.

We were always taught as kids that red cars go faster!! Also don't forget about the colour of bike that is leading the Superbikes, a red Ducati. Red is definatly cleaning up all the major motorsports, and it was'nt to long ago that a red car was cleaning up the WRC.

Yeah,

Only problem was it took up the whole shelf, and was just a touch obvious that it was not there the day before.

I have a 1/8 ferrari 312T2 and If you are able to hide your Prost ,well I would like to know how that can be done
these kind of models are BIG and stand out like the backend on a baboon
my model if displayed in a cabinet with 1/18 cars makes them look like nothing so it has it's own place well away from the rest.
