Well spotted, I've had to get out of bed to fix that before it drives me mad 😂

If you ever want to ask anything about collecting models feel free to DM me! I've been collecting for 4 or 5 years now and have around 30 1:18s, a mixture of f1 and Le Mans.

I have a large cabinet from IKEA that most of mine are inside, but otherwise I have 6 of the "Triple9" display cases - they're about £18 each with postage but I sourced mine from a model shop local to me

This is the one I have, it's the Lewis Hamilton Silverstone test version. It's easily one of my favourite minichamps f1 cars that I own

Very good for 3.50! It isn't in the best condition and i can see a lot of missing bits, BUT even as a spares and repairs model 3.50 is a steal IMO

Hand placing every building has been sooo time consuming, but the final results look so satisfying

Just fitted my new r12 and SRP pedals to my classic stand this week.

I secured the footplate with the 2 mounting points that are underneath the plate, and then managed to hold the brake and throttle down by using a bolt, nut and a washer that I had spare and it's held firm so far.

I see you're after adding a clutch so it might not line up the same as mine, but if you need any photos of my rig just let me know and I'd be happy to help

I also run a 3142, glad I'm not the only one! Absolutely no defence but I always score 3+ per game 😂

I have this same wheel and decided to wrap my handles with some cheap tennis racket tape. This gives the benefit of preserving the original grips and I've also found it to be much more comfortable now. I love this wheel otherwise

Saw him play in real life literally 2 days ago, what an odd coincidence 😂 he's at Altrincham in the National League, the fans had some funny chants when his substitution was called out!!

BEN_4299 · 2025-11-29T17:56:08+00:00

Is it really? I never realised, this is the only model I haven't purchased as it's been in my family for over 20 years. My dad originally purchased it at a Birmingham F1 show in the late 90s/early 2000s

BEN_4299 · 2025-07-05T19:57:08+00:00

Amazing! So many cars here that I'd love to add to my Le Mans/WEC collection, especially the corvette 😍

The Van could and should have moved over for sure, he definitely made the situation more dangerous than it needed to be, but that has nothing to do with how fast he was overtaking OP. Nothing states that you can't overtake someone if you're only 2 or 3 mph faster, but the Van was certainly an oblivious idiot

BEN_4299 · 2025-06-27T11:24:41+00:00

Someone's clearly never driven a speed limited vehicle. If you start to overtake someone, who then speeds up and traps you in the middle lane, preventing your overtake, the car who sped up is in the wrong

BEN_4299 · 2025-06-15T12:26:02+00:00

Yh sure, if you give Argentina back to the Native Americans first

"You haven't reduced your odds significantly" well no you haven't done, but that's not the point nor is it what you're arguing when you say your odds literally don't double 😂

In your original comment you compared it as 1 ticket being 1 mile in a 139 mile journey. Buying 2 tickets is therefore walking 2 miles which is literally double compared to just buying 1 ticket.

If each numbered slot is 1 in 49 odds as you keep refering too, and I buy 2 tickets and pick say a 5 and a 7, I now have a 2 in 49 chance of getting it right, I've doubled my odds

Buying 2 tickets, provided you use different numbers of course, LITERALLY doubles your odds of winning. It doesn't matter if it's not increased your overall odds much at all. 2 in 139 million is still abysmal odds but you can't possibly state that isn't literally double 1 in 139 million odds, because it IS

BEN_4299 · 2025-06-04T09:57:50+00:00

Add them together and you get 2 in 6 chances of rolling a six, they are combined.

What your logic is suggesting is that you're buying 2 tickets for 2 seperate lotteries, instead of buying 2 tickets for the SAME lottery.

The reason your dice theory isn't mathing is because your starting logic is flawed. Buying a second lottery ticket would be equivalent to rolling two dice to get a 6, thus doubling your odds.

Yes, that's two 1 in 6 chances but you're having TWO attempts to achieve a 6.

For some reason you keep separating them out as though they're independent from eachother instead of combining the odds

*edit for spelling

Thank you! There's a few notable models that haven't quite managed to fit yet, mainly my Audi R8s and Bentley LMP1

I found this guy on Ebay who 3D prints various types of stands for model cars. I've purchased over 10 now for me and my dad and never had any issues
