    Lotus Seven or toyota S-800

    As some of you know, i am still in Asia and the models are sort of dirt cheap, so i was thinking of getting one. I have two choices, the S-800 or the Seven
    What should i choose? I need something that isn't that difficult
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    Is the S800 cheap there? Are you serious? It's so rare in europe that I thought it woulbe be expensive. The Toyota S800 is beautiful but slow. The Lotus Seven is fast but no that beautiful.
    And it's the Lotus Seven cheap? Or are you talking about other Sevens?

    but as a model I would now buy the S800, Lotuses can be bought the all around the world.
    (there is a nice 1/24 scale kit of the S800 made by Fujimi, with full engine detail, if you are into that you might want to do a search for it)

    Good thing you said something first. I was just about to comment on how nice it would be to have an S800 when I saw that you got owned.

    Anyone else want to join my "Voted before I read the thread" club? I'd probably still go for the seven though. Knowing not much about models, I'd have thought the seven would be an interesting challenge, what with being open wheels and whatnot.

    I think the Toyota might be prettier, but the seven would look far more interesting sat on a shelf, if that makes sense.

    Hong Kong and I found the US $25 Porsche 959 Tamiya Kit for only $10 USD. In other news, I found an Alpine A310 kit for sale complete with the Neon Genesis Evangelion figures, but it was a bit expensive
