My first 1/18 was the CC 2006 James Courtney car.

I was only going to collect his cars, and then I made a decision to go for the CL collection and now I have stopped collecting JC's cars!

[Mixalis]

I bought 65E GTHO and my dad saw how i was liking em so gave me Wild Violet and Quicksilver XY's on the ssame day (he originally purchased them from the Biante back when they first came out so for me there valuable models). Ever since then have just been collecting similar models. Apart from them i have bought Yellow Ochre XY, John Goss XY and Starlight blue XW

HK Silver Mink for $160, still have it. Then I started on the rest of the old Monaro's, then most of the Bathurst Winners and so on...............
