For me, it’s ok, if the quality is good, the ideas of the manufacturers and the price.

11) If you could change one thing about the diecast hobby what would that be?

I find that the old cars of years 10 and 20 are not enough manufactured, also too many manufacturers of different prices and qualities, difficult to see on the internet, because of more enough shops, especially in Luxembourg.

No, I do not change or modify any cars in my collection.
