306oc - Peugeot 306 Owners Club & Forum

Recently helped my dad make a display unit for 'most' of his slot car collection. When I say most, there are still an awful lot of these things on the opposite wall, either still in their boxes or part of a limited edition with display boxes...

There's room for 400 cars on the display, pretty much anything you could wish for is there - and if it isn't, he probably has one elsewhere...





It's in alphabetical order by manufacturer. There are an awful lot of Ford Escorts!





Lambo's and Lotus'



How many Astons?!!



There's a full fleet of JGTC cars too - Skylines, NSXs, Supras - it's like Gran Turismo all over again.

A handful of them are mine - they're just kept at my dads, since I don't have a track anyway.

That's pretty epic,any pugs ??

Yup!
306 Maxi
205 T16
405 Dakar
406 Btcc x2
406 Coupe Btcc
206 Wrc
307 Wrc

Just off the top of my head - there's probably others haha

What's the point in anything?

I think we all need a hobby. I collect / make rc cars. It's a form of escapism - I can't afford the time and space to have a real car to modify / race, but I have a whole fleet of rc cars in various states!

Dad collects anything he particularly likes rather than collecting for investment / the sake of it. His collection reads like a Gran Turismo garage! 

They all get used too - some harder than others. A few are worth upwards of £80 so it can be a bit nerve racking giving them full throttle haha

That's a question I often wonder...hence asking!


Fair enough though, not sure I 'get' it but each to their own!

True, I seem to be wired different to most people lol. Always interested in 'normality' though, as it usually seems odd to me.

Define "normailty".

Epic collection though, must be worth a few quid! 

Fair play, what ever floats your boat

Awesome collection!

Wonderland indeed

A cracking collection there! Very impressive. And to answer the above; if there was no point to anythin, we'd be living in a black and white world with generic cars, hair, food , the lot! It's a choice/hobby/motive/joy to collect things like this.

If an earthquake struck; the owner would be more pissed that they're out of order!

Incredible nonetheless
