A Porsche 911GT3 miniature car came to our house - why do we need a miniature car when we have a real car?

Porsche 911GT3

We have many miniature cars in our house. Including the ones we received at Porsche events and fairs, the Carrera Cup cars we got from people we know, and the ones my husband bought, there are probably more than 20 of them....(Some even have three identical ones)

In the meantime, my husband bought another new miniature car. This time, he bought a "911GT3 Touring(1/18)My husband was very happy to see that the GT3 was finally on hand, having been out of stock when he ordered it prior to the purchase of the GT3.

The body color is "Chalk (= crayon)He said he made it to "the(Apparently, "crayon" is called chalk overseas.)When I looked at the miniature car that actually arrived, it was quite gray in color.The color is clearly different from crayon.Nevertheless, my husband was very happy.

And here is what I noticed. ."Hey, didn't I buy one of those GT3 Touring minicars before? (-_-)I looked for a 911 GT3 Touring (1/43).

 

She told her husband, "Why did you buy another new 911 GT3 Touring minicar even though you already have one?I asked.

I had bought a small miniature car before, but the body color was white, so it didn't look like my GT3, and I also wanted something more realistic. So, I bought a 1/18 scale Minichamps "Chalk" body color to more closely resemble my GT3. Now I have two cars!

And.

The 1/43 model is limited to 504 units, and the 1/18 model is limited to 300 units. The doors can be opened, and the interior, steering wheel, gauges, and center console are all very close to the real thing.

The only thing I don't understand in my mind is that "Why buy that miniature car in addition to the actual 911 GT3 in the parking lot of my house, which I can see and drive anytime I want?The point is that "the My husband, when asked, said.

No, that's right... but I want to look at my car all the time, even in my house. That's why I wanted a miniature car that was as realistic as possible.

And.

Ummm...sorry...I don't really know what that feels like...w

Is there a real car + miniature car?

So I tweeted about this on Twitter...

."I know!!!A number of people commented that they were

I also have a model of my beloved car displayed in my study or relaxing space. (Laughs.) Not only by sitting in the driver's seat, but also by looking at my beloved car from a bird's eye view, I become even more attached to it and make unexpected discoveries! (Laughs)

Excuse me for being sideways, but I want to have 1/43, 1/18, and 1/1 (real w). It makes me want to make a miniature car of my car or something.

Oh, really? That's how it is?

I mean, how much do you guys love cars?

The thought process of a car enthusiast is truly immeasurable these days.

    I had almost 50 miniature cars too, but they got in the way, so I sorted them out.
    I now only collect minicars that I have owned and plan to own in the future.

    That touring package is a late model, but the steering wheel is early model.

      That's great... 50 units is a store!

      >The touring package is a late model, but the steering wheel is early model.
      Oh wow!!! I didn't notice that at all! That's what I thought... !!!!
      I guess the person making the miniature car didn't think that far ahead... As expected! LOL!

    No, it happens often.
    The manufacturer itself cannot spend so much money on this type of miniature car, so w
     I am sure they are using the molds from the previous year. We will refine most of the parts, but the cost will be too high to make all the details.
    The touring package has a manual shift lever, but it is not the same as the previous year's steering wheel with paddles.
    In fact, there are many WW

      Oh, I see!

      I see...you are right...it is not worth the cost to make a new mold just for this.
      I guess there is such a thing as a minicar. It seems rather fun to find such a "Oh, only here is the previous term" kind of thing (laughs).
