[meares]

those are cool....how long have you been collecting them?

[Bill Verburg]

I started buying one for the kids and one for me... then it just becomes a habit

[Don Plumley]

Neat! I have one my kids got me before I got the 87 carrera. It's a 993, so there was some predictive power...

Does that mean there's a GT1 in my future?

Hey Bill, in the upper left is a plain, narrow 993 right? Is that from UT? I'd love to find a black one.

The yellow one in the top right is a base 993 from Burago circa 1994

[Oh Haha]

Here are mine. I just went through the case and re-organized it last weeek so my 993's are not all together.





The badarse one:

Hi, its made by a Japanese company called Marushin. Once in a great while, you'll see a piece or 2 pop up on Ebay. Marushin had long been out of business (since mid 90's) and they're only making air guns now.
If you do a google on "Marushin Porsche 2.7" you will find some cool video on how this model functions. Happy hunting!

Cool. Some on Ebay right now. Listed as a 1993 model for some reason. I thought ROW 993s started in '94?

They did but MY94 production actually starts in late'93. The modlers like to be out from day 1

Just got the Burago. I notice that the rear wing is extended and there doesn't seem to be a way to lower it without permanently trimming the metal and gluing it in the down position. Bill (or anyone else with a Burago 993), is yours that way too? If it's lowered, how does it fit?

Thanks!

isn't the ALMS great ? all our heros from other series or coming up in sportscars can be found...

I can't wait for Petit LeMans, Peugeot just announced they're coming, 1 car at Sebring, 3 at LeMans with a bunch of F1 refugees.... I think Audi's streak is about to be over....
