    Well, just to start out, I see a porsche spyder, 993, Audi B7 A4. A bunch of E90 WTCC cars, and the guy is picking up an E92 M3, or at least MTECH, Which is next to an E93 cab, next an E91, which is next to what looks like a CS? Im not sure on that one. Then is a mustang, Ford Focus ST, then a Fiesta of some kind.

    How's that for a start? And I haven't even cheated by looking at the comments below.

    I adore those 1/43 scale cars. They're ridiculously detailed yet don't take up the space 1/18 scale cars do. My favorite in my collection is the Mercedes race truck (ca.1999) from the uber cool European commercial truck racing series.

    Did everyone miss the sheer mid-engined awesomeness of the Mercedes C111 in the front row? You got a rotary engine, a five pot turbodiesel, or a monster V8 which took the thing to over 250mph.. all wrapped up in a body that'd make Enzo chew through his favourite pencil.

    There's a toy shop next to the toy museum in Colmar, France that has literally tens of thousands of 1/43 cars in stock. I thought I was in heaven.

    @Blue387: I don't remember the name of it and I can't find it on the web. It's just one guy running the place. I think he was having hard times financially because there were no customers and he had the lights off to save on electricity. It's literally a few doors down from the Colmar toy museum.

    @Maxichamp: I recommend the Sunday Market in Nice. There's a guy with tons of old french rallyecar minis, and an assortment of other obscure Franco-Italian cars. I was in heaven.

    I might not be able to name them, but I can tell in which country each toy model was built without turning it over and looking.

    Actually, those Minichamps 1/43 cars run from 30-50 USD. Their website has all of the models they've ever produced. It's a German site with an English section.

    Those old Porsches look so happy and cute. What ever happened to that? How come they all look like piss-sharks or nurse sharks or whatever they're called now?

    Looks like an air-cooled Porsche, sounds like a water-cooled.
