Die-cast F1 cars at parts store?

[RobbieNelson]

I could have sworn I saw an ad on SPEED that mentioned die-cast F1 cars at one of the auto parts chains. Has anyone seen it or know which store it is. I'd like to pick up one or two.

I order my diecast from acouple different places. Havent seen any in parts stores though, Surprisingly Hotwheels makes some nice 1/18th scaled F1 cars.

I believe that these were made by hotwheels. How much did your's cost dave?

I'm a tight-wad and I'm looking to get a steal-of-a-deal for a hell-of-a-car.

[daveb91]

Tell you the truth Robbie I cant remember but I did buy them from either Toysrus or somewhere like that the last Hotwheels diecast I bought was a LMP car and it was alot cheaper than the Action Performance Daytona Prototype which was $70. I will try to find out for ya, I have many many diecast cars 1/18th and 1/24th scale it gets expensive quick! :cry:

A quick look around the web says $39, but I dont see any Minardis which i bet is what you are looking for. :wink: . I personally dont think I paid $40 they are always on ebay and I am thinking that I might have seen stuff like that at Autozone but if it was on Speed it might have been at PepBoys.

Its AutoZone. I bought the Juan Pablo Montoya; Williams F1 Team car. They are really cool cars.


Plus as a bonus you get a free poster, its a really cool poster for a garage or something.

Price? Avaliability?

[m pwrd 3]

price is 29.99

I went to the AutoZone in Pburg and they had the 4 drivers that are on the poster on hand.

I dont think that they have anyother cars except for what is on the poster.

[daveb91]

So who is on the poster?

[C_Note]

Huh, glad to hear I'm not the only "kid" left. My wife is always complaining about my die-cast collection (mostly NASCAR, but a lot of Hot Wheels, and some larger scale Hot Rod collectables).

[daveb91]

Yeah my wife is constantly up my ass about the die cast all over the house then I mention the little bears and other knick knacks that populate every room of the house "but thats different" lol

[m pwrd 3]

not sure who they are except juan pablo -- I dont follow F1 much.


Picture of the poster is in my first post in the thread, gotta click download.

[daveb91]

Does the ferrari not have the Marlboro sponser on it like in the poster?
