Evo X Rally Hokkaido

Had the time to shoot some model cars yesterday. It was supposed to be an outdoor shoot but since it was raining the night before, I had to settle for an indoor shoot instead.

This time I have a Rally Car version of the Mitsubishi Evo X. Used in the 2009 Rally Hokkaido.


The 1:1 car

The 1:43 scale model. This model was made by Vitesse. Got beautiful details and livery on this one. Hoping that I could get more Evo X like this soon. 










Was also able to do some outdoor test shots but decided to stay indoors.

Gone in 60 seconds Eleanor

Gone in 60 seconds' Shelby GT500 "Eleanor", one of the most famous Mustang cars to hit the big screen. It's famous get away run on the streets of Long Beach made it as famous as the GT390 "Bullitt" Mustang which Steve McQueen hurled thru the streets of San Francisco.

I loved this film because aside from the Mustang, it also featured many exotic cars and of course lots of red Ferraris.

Here is the car that immediately made movie history.

Lamborghini Murcielago R-GT

Was not really a Lamborghini fan. But lately I had this urge of buying 1:43 racing/sports version diecast. So after seeing this model I grabbed it and brought it home.

The MurciĆ©lago R-GT is the racing version of the  Lamborghini MurciĆ©lago, developed by Reiter Engineering and Audi Sports Division. It was introduced during the 2003 edition of the world famous IAA Frankfurt Motor Show. Not like the street version, the R-GT is rear-wheel drive. Only 9 cars were produced from this line.

Ken Block's Ford Fiesta



Wasn't really interested in Rally cars but after seeing Ken Block's Gymkhana Video at a Ford Fiesta display in Resorts World Manila I was really amazed of his car and his driving as well. He was using this modified and beefed-up Ford Fiesta.

Here is the newly released hotwheels version. Replaced the wheels with new ones.







Enzo Ferrari

Enzo Ferrari, the car named after their founder. Built in 2002, only 400 of these cars were made and the last one was given to Pope John Paul II. They say even if you have the money to buy 1 you can't just buy it from them. You have to be chosen by Ferrari to own one of these. 

It is a V12 Mid-engined car built with the latest Formula 1 Technology that time.

First post on my new blog. Will be showing lots of small scaled car models/replicas that I like. Hope you guys like it too.

First-up, the Shelby Prudhomme Mustang GT500. A mustang collaboration of Racing Legend Carroll Shelby and Drag Racing Legend Don Prudhomme. As a mustang fan, especially the race versions, I really admire this car.
