I grew up watching television shows like Dukes of Hazzard, Miami Vice, Hardcastle & McCormick, Knight Rider, The A-Team, StreetHawk and seeing movies like Back to the Future, The Cannonball Run, Ghostbusters and Batman. I've always been fascinated by the wonderful cars featured in these serial TV and movies: so, some months ago, I began collecting 1:18 scale die-cast cars based on the vehicles used in my favorite serial TV and movies. I started collecting General Lee and K.I.T.T. (my two preferred cars) and today I own about 35 models dedicated to this theme. Normally, I purchase cars produced by diecast makers (like ERTL, Johnny Lightning, etc.) but if a particular car is not produced, I create it using other diecast models (for example, the Ferrari used by Don Johnson in Miami Vice). In this way, I have a collection that is not similar to another one, but it's unique!!!
   I created this site not only to show my collection but to share my passion with all the people that loves 1:18 diecast models featured on serial TV and movies. In addiction, this site is a tribute to George Barris (see the picture on the left), the best cars customer: he has created the most important cars used at Hollywood like General Lee, K.I.T.T., Coyote X, The A-Team van and many others.
   Note: this site is purely informational, so I'm not selling nothing. It's only a virtual showcase of my collection. Finally, I want to thanks to everyone who will visit my site, send me e-mails, and submit comments and suggestions: it's important for me, because with your help I will try to improve this site.
