These model cars are worth more than his real car

Do you have a model car collection? Mike gives us an insight into his own collection, which actually amounts to a slightly scary valuation when you add them up. They are rather lovely though...

You can buy these models through the links below:

Jeremy, James, and Richard. Pay the man more. He's driving a Mondeo for God's sake.


Thank you for the video!

Send him a display case somebody please...

Your passion and anxiety are appreciated and understood. A deep dive into any of them would be a great watch- the car YOU are the most interested in would be the best video to watch. Thanks for sharing your stable with us!👍

As an 1/43 collector, when you pulled out the hpi triple set, i got goosebumps. I’d give my left one for the Sauber-Mercedes set, but the Porsche or Jaguar sets are just as awesome.

That exoto xjr-9 is just breathtaking, btw. Also, while getting a xjr in 1/43 might be easier than 1/18, actually sourcing one with the silk cut decals took me months of patient eBay watching (thank you, seller from France!)

Currently, I’m only one TWR XJ-S etcc car away from finishing my racing jaguar collection and as much as I spend on models, the technology and stories they all represent never fail to bring joy to my life.

Exoto models are made in California, they're amazing, i have a Williams carbon livery fw 14b test car in my collection of about 120 1/18 scale cars, the detail is incredible.

Your hand and arm movements so close to those models made me nervous....and they're not even mine 😄

You can hear his passion as he talks about the models, really cool!

Interesting video DriveTribe, it's always great seeing such model cars in detail. It's also great to hear a history/details about the real cars! Thanks and bring us more of these!

Thanks for keeping me entertained during lockdown in South Africa

The Group C Peugeot is the one I know the least about consequently it gets my vote for what I would like to see you do.

I think your collection value has been significantly understated! It's worth way more than you realise, I expect

[gratefulot]

Thank you, Mike, for sharing your car collection. Exoto makes excellent scale models. I had a phone conversation with the owner of Exoto a number of years ago. He was extremely passionate about getting all of the details correct on the race liveries. If you are interested in very high quality 1:18 older classic race cars check out CMC scale models.

An actual collector feels you emotion when removing the packaging

[abedekok]

Once you got diecast you never go back, seeing your excitement tells me how deep you're into the hobby.

Great collection Mike! My favourite of the bunch is the Aston Martin.

[andrewolson]

Thanks for sharing your model collection, Mike! Those are some beautiful collectables! As a Mustang fanatic, I have 1/18 scale models of every generation of Ford Mustang on one of my shelves.

[carlerasmus]

I want to see something about the Jaguars - Silk Cut ones.

Amazing models! Wouldnt mind a video about the Peugeot 905C!

Everyone is entitled to be nerdy about their passions, whatever they are. It's what makes us interesting to some and boring to others. No matter if others love or hate your particular passions, they are yours to cherish.

Awesome video. Who collects models cars like me and many others know from where comes this passion
