Hi Guys ! Sooo many nice comments in only a few minutes, i´m very happy !!!!! Thank you very much !!! NO, i DON´T have loads of money ( i wish i had .. ), i have to work hard for my money as most of us do. I´m married with a very nice and VERY understanding wife ( she gave up complaining ... ) and we have two children. So no chance of envy on my bank balance I really can´t say how many cars i have, there are still many projects in boxes, some NIBs and lots of spares .... and the least thing i want to know is the value of all these cars .... but i´m sure i could buy a nice new 1:1 car .... best regards, Michael

HOLY WOW, That is the best looking hobby shop I have ever seen in my life. Oh, wait a minute, that is your HOBBY ROOM!!! I love it, would like to be able to display my collection like that someday and might not have that many but, would still like to display them like that.

*Topcat*
I dont envy you trying to dust all those models down or is your other half really that understanding that she does it for you? ;P seriously though that is one sweet collection and i'm sure there are a lot of very jealous people that have looked at your hobby room. Me for one

Looks very nice Michael! I like the shelfs. It is just the best way to store many cars! Cheers!
Skysaxon

That is one hell of a collection!!! and I am so jealous... Just one question? Is the top shelf a naughty shelf as I notice in pic 3 at least 7 cars have to face the wall (like we had to when at school) and as for the poor guy sat on the rear of the cheetah he looks like me after the missus has just been woken by the postman bringing more projects ( in the dog house) go on cheer him up and at least let him sit in it. LOL.

Amazing, great collection. Thank you for sharing.
Tamichael
Hi ! The guy on the Cheetah is a 1:12 copy of me looking at my bank-account statements, that´s why he looks so sad And the cars on the right top shelf have to face the wall as there are some water pipes that go along there and the cars do only fit in this direction .. no need to shame on them @ Rosey : Yes, it´s an obsession, that´s right ! But it´s still better to spend my money on plastic toy cars that i can look at than on cigarettes, beer or other expensive activities. Believe me, every therapist would give up when tying to cure me Hehehe. Thanks for all your comments, you really motivate me to get some more nice stuff !!! There are still lots of cars on my wish list ! Michael
scollins
wow,unbelievable. my my my, that is a lot of stuff.
prplehz
OMG! If I woke up in that room I would think I died and went to heaven. Heck maybe I will give up smoking and start buying some more cars.... I showed my wife to be and she said, ' Don't you get any ideas' lmao. Great collection bar none!!!
Henk4Focus
Did you hear and feel the earth move just now. It was me that fell down at the site of your Collection. You are truly a fortunate person to own such a big collection. The Jugg in trooper livery and all the Wild Willies caught my eye. Great.
mongoose1983
Wow... And I thought I was either, living my mid-life crisis or just going crazy... GREAT collection!

How are you preventing flat spots in the tires??
Tamichael
I have put old tires or other things like paper rolls or boxes under the cars, you can see them in the pictures under Buggies and in the glass cabinets.
berman
So THAT's what's on the other side of the pearly gates. Simply astounding. I must've spent at least 10 minutes on each photo! *wipes dribble from keyboard*

I reckon if you adjust the shelves a little you might be able to squeeze in another row of shelves around the room, how's it looking 2 years on?!
slimmy

sunnyjai
Fan-Bloddy-Tastic! That's one impressive man-cave you have there, a nice get-away! Now I can't sleep, need to push my contractor to finish my new home ASAP so I can set up my long overdue man cave for myself!
megadeth

AndyAndy
OMG.... this room is paradise. Although I think your hobby love is bordering on perversion! Haha!

I've looked at this unbelievable collection several times in the past but I don't think I've commented on it and I'm not sure why...WOW! I'm stunned every time I take a look at these pics. This is by far the most complete and well-organized collection on TC. Fantastic! Personally, the great thing for me is every time my wife thinks I'm collecting too much I just show her your collection for comparison and she let's me get what ever I want so thank you for that too!
