Default The Shell V-Power Collectable Ferraris

Is anybody else collecting these at the moment?

I've got three out of the six (Enzo, 360 Spider, Superamerica) and hopefully will have the other three by the end of the week.

If people are collecting them, have you opened them at all? Its so tempting, I wanna see this 2-speed in action, but at the same time I'm wanting to keep them in mint condition, unopened (I dunno why, they probably won't go up in value).

I think what I'll have to do is buy one of the ones I've already got, and give it to my best friend's 2 year old boy - that way I get the excuse of its not for me to play with, but I still get to play with it out of the packet boys and our toys!!!

LOL nice.

As much as I love my Ford and stuff though, I'm getting these just coz they're kinda collectable, and cheap

Buy an extra one to play with. I average $100 per tank fill so its only costing me $600 for these cars!

The girl at the servo I filled up at today said they will sell them without a fuel purchase, for the $4.99, and you can buy as many as you like in one hit. I think when I get paid tomorrow I might go get the rest of the ones I need just to ensure I've got them all (as well as a couple extra to play with)
