Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 by Autoart
My colleague calls the Gallardo "a car that looks like a printer". I strongly disagree and think that Gallardo is an iconic shape. A Lamborghini that is not screaming or shouting, one that is not the most flashy, one that is minimalist, subtle and elegant, yet a real Lamborghini.
Porsche 959 in Guards Red by Autoart
Porsche 959 was my top childhood dream car. That is why it goes the first. When released, Porsche 959 was the fastest legal road car in the world and even later when Ferrari F40 took the title by a slim margin, the 959 still was miles better in departments of comfort and usability.
Even though Porsche 959 was one of the most expensive cars at the time, in the end, the factory was loosing money on every car. Nevertheless, 959 served as a technological experiment and many of the inventions made it to later 911sa and other models.
Bill Gates who has always been a keen Porsche fan bought the 959 and shipped it to USA, however he was not able to use it on the road initially, because 959 was not street legal in U.S. due to emissions regulations and also because Porsche refused to give away a car for crash testing.
Started something new today
I'm Kārlis Blūmentāls, a software engineer and entrepreneur. I have always dreamt about becoming a classic car collector, however, when reality sets in and means are limited, one has to become creative. So I am currently realizing my dream on a 1:18 scale.
I started collecting model cars in 2017 and currently I'm a proud owner of a modest 100+ high resolution 1:18 scale model car collection. My collection consists mostly of professional grade collector's model cars from Autoart, Kyosho, CMC and other manufacturers.
Today I am starting a new endeavor. I want to use my digital skills to catalog and present my collection online. I have already began taking some high resolution pictures of some of my model cars and I hope I will be able to keep posting them online here and on my Instagram account on a more or less regular basis.
There is a great chance that nobody will ever read this, nevertheless, I am starting the process and I shall see how it goes. The picture above is one of the Porsche 959 a 1:18 scale model car by Autoart. I am starting with Porsche 959, because it was my top childhood dream car.
