It was going for £7.50 or thereabouts when I bid on it. Was thinking I could get a bargain there!

missed this one totally!! If I had seen it I would have out in a bid as it would have saved me making a model! Did manage to pick up a Cleland (I take it your Clelandfan) 2001 Bathurst car signed by John, hence why I sold you mine! Also recently got John to sign my 93 and 96 car as well and Matt Neal to sign the 93 BMW. Makes them a bit more unique.Quote:

That's where I got my other 2 signed!! What's funny is I remember someone getting one signed when I got mine done and they told me it was off ebay, it could have been you!!!! Did you get the model signed or just the box?
It was the plastic case/box.
It wasn't you then!!! Small world though.
I don't understand this signed model business!
Why would you want the model signed?
I can understand to a degree having the case or base signed, but not the model!
Wish i had seen that Audi on eBay, i would definatly have bid on that, however from the sounds of things it wouldn't have been a bargain if us lot had seen it :)
I do have my eye on a couple though, a couple of BMW's no doubt you have seen the Racing Replica's 1992 Tim Harvey, and a different 95 BMW which i have allready bid on.
The Tim Harvey one, well i have been saving up while its been listed, and it might cost a bit.
With regards to signatures on models, i dont have any of mine signed, although if i knew John Cleland i think i would like my Cavaliers and Bathurst Falcon signed by the legend himself.
I only have a couple signed and I can see both points of view, some don't want to ruin the model while having the car signed just makes it a little different.Quote:

Personally the ones I have signed are the only ones I will do and from my favorite drivers and I will never sell.
One question to all. How many models are you able to display? The wife will allow only 2 cabinets (approx 42 cars) so most are store away (as waste If you ask me!) and I have to change my cabinets from time to time.
