...and I just received it! bounce

A 1:18 scale model of my own car - a silver 111S S2 with black roof - has been waiting for me at home and I just opened it. Thoughts? Its bloody marvellous!

The detail is simply stunning and the build quality is as good as the real car (no jokes please!) - the interior, the engine bay, even the underside (including suspension) are all detailed to the very last millimetre and it's all spot on. I'm frankly amazed at how good it is - and it was only £18.99!

I will put it in pride of place in the study.......next to the blue S1 model..... getmecoat

The really great thing for me (stumbling into even deeper realms of sadness...) is that both models I have are exact replicas of my two cars! Its uncanny!

Try Googling for "jadi lotus" if you want to join the Anorak Club too

I was called a geek today because I ordered an OBD-II/CAN connector, just because I wanted to see what pretty graphs I could produce, lol.

I always buy a diecast model of my cars. I bought a cracking Ardent Red Elise with hard top when i had that car. Do you know if you can get your one with a hard top on it in the diecast??

yes mate I ordered it online from here:

www.swapmeet-models.co.uk

Look in the Jadi stock list for the reference number of the one you want then go back to the homepage where they have a secure online order button
