Desert Island Cars Vol. 9: Ramanujan's Top Ten


desert island

Ramanujan from Netherlands


Konami signature model Honda S2000

1) Konami signature model Honda S2000 (With road and guardrail.)

This one has cost me years to get. Hunting ebay, looking on auction sites. Until i finally found it with a seller who had almost the complete series available in an obscure online shop. I took the gamble and everything was well.


Aoshima Spoon S2000

2) Aoshima Spoon S2000 in Blue/Yellow.

Very nice little car which fortunately only got expensive after i got it.


 Champion Honda F1

3) Champion Honda F1. These model cars are very well made for the time they came on the market.  I picked the nicest i have.


Cm's lancia stratos dirt

4) Cm's lancia stratos with dirt. Just great they made the effort to get their 1/64 cars even more realistic.


Cm's Lancia Delta Repsol

5) Cm's Lancia Delta with the great Repsol livery. Just great colors on a rally car.


Joyride (ertl) Formula Drift S2000

6) Joyride (ertl) Formula Drift S2000. Got one after searching for a long time, it got a bit messed up in transport, but still a nice addition to the collection.


Trackstars Alfa Romeo 155

7) Trackstars Alfa Romeo 155. These came in nice metal containers and are very colorfull. I picked one with a nice color combo.


Tamiya Honda S2000

8) Tamiya Honda S2000. I like this one just better than the autoart, the wheels are very nice, and the doors open as a bonus.


Crazy Wheels Zylmex Honda F1

9) Crazy Wheels Zylmex Honda F1. Old model car with a funny twist, i think it is great and silly all in one.


cm's lancia super delta secret chase

10) Cm's special color edition of the Lancia Delta in yellow. Who doens't like a nice road like version of the old Grale?



Hope you like the list.

As you probably can tell, there is some theming going on in my collection. :D

Minicar Pics 1/64:  There are some cars in here I've never seen, or even heard of before.  On this loaded list, one casting that really stands out for me is the Crazy Wheels Honda F1.  Wacky in a really awesome way.  Very special. 

While the list is dominated by Lancias & Hondas, it's the farthest list from being boring, or predictable.  Great work!
