Merc vs Mitsu

Yes, I am still here at ICW, even though it was supposed to close by 2230. But then, this is the rare privilege given by Raymond Loke to his friends. And so, with the 'extra' time, I decided to have a look at some model kits and unfortunately, I came across these two models. I know, I know, I am broke but they're both so beautiful.

 

The first was this Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X, which inside the box has a lot of 'extra' parts.
But for me, this is as close as I can get to owning an Evo X, the last of the Evo/Lancer series as Mitsubishi is not going to continue with the range anymore.

Next one up is the Mercedes SL65, for which on the first glance of the box art, was too good to be true. You have obviously seen these type of art before where, the artist would exaggerate/distort the subject to make it more pleasant. The good news is, this is how it actually looks and so, after searching for more photos of the SL65 on the Internet, what you saw on the box art is the real thing.

And so, I asked Raymond if I could reserve the Merc for until the end of November so that by that time, my salary would be out and I can pay him. Raymond agreed immediately and even let me have the kit o the spot but I declined.

Woo Hoo! I now have a Merc and one day, an Evo X!
