Paul you will need to move your models to the spray booth soon, and kick the cossie out, you got that many!!
as for putting links up a quick tutorial for ya.
whilst on the page you want to link to left clic in the address bar at the top of the screen, this will turn blue.
press "control and C" at the same time this will copy the address.
go to PF and it the text you are writing press "control and V" this will paste the address into the text, job done!!
regards,
steve

Paul I have got all the Ausi ones you have,but I bought them individually,some were 50 quid incl postage others up to 85,so you havent done too bad,especially the B and H one as that is quite hard to get for under about 100 quid incl p+p,
the last one (at the moment,there are about 5 more coming out soon!!!!!!!!) is the Dick Johnson 500 and that sells for mega bucks

Hi Paul,

I think you got a good deal there. As someone mentioned, if you'd bought them individually they'd have cost more.

I have the Texaco one......All I could afford as I have to pay karl for my engine soon.....

I very much doubt it - as these sold out virtually as soon as they became available and now sell for over $500 on Aussie ebay

I havent seen the 5 new cars but I have seen several that he has got for $120ish and he thought the new ones would be that as well. Is the one above a limited run or something?

The Dick Johnston car was brought out by Biante about 18 months ago as a limited run and were snapped up by fans straight away and dont come up for sale secondhand very often.

The site shown is I believe from that time and has probably not been updated.

People in the UK dont realise how big the Ford v Holden thing is in Australia it is probably as big as the Man United v Arsenel rivalry over here, and that the drivers are as famous in Australia as footballers are in the UK so stuff like this is highly prized by collectors.

Saying that £200 is well overpriced but people pay it

Not the biggest Football fan either but the premiership results seap down to the weekend and monday morning news here. No one I know knows anything about football so its quite funny when they say the teams as though you are on the BBC news. I am sure plenty of people do know them down here though.

I have V8 supercars 2 for the PS2 as well which is a fantastic game. Well worth the 40 odd quid for it. It should work in the UK as I sent a copy over for my mate who hasnt reported any problems.

Took it only once out of the box... didn't even undo the plastic ties.

The detail is fantastic, I have better pics lying around, gimme a min.
