Your cars are going to look great together in the cabinet, especially as your collection follows a continuous theme & most are finished off with shells with your own matching 'team' paint schemes
I think the fact that it is an Oakley cabinet adds to the cool factor - I remember Oakley sunglasses being the 'big' thing for RC racers during the 90s with Oakley sponsoring the likes of Brian Kinwald & I think Cliff Lett... Ben you've also got to get a pair of old-skool 'M' Frames in there!
Cheers Dan! My wife think it looks pretty cool, just not sure that she'll like the idea of them being in the living room though.
M frames or maybe some Razor Blades!!?? I have seen some on ebay!

If you've got a large collection. I've seen some nice china cabinets that can work on these cars. depending if it has any built in lighting, just add a few extra lights and you've got a nice display case XD.

Very cool. Makes having more than one car on display in the house look decent.

They make bigger ones Cedric! In fact a surf shop local to me has one exactly the same but twice as wide
- not for sale though

That looks great... I bet it looks even better at night with the lights on?
Funny how cats like to get into things - especially if its new in the house....
I guess the cat will be replaced by the Schumacher namesake's arch rival - a XX4?

It looks cool with the lights on! Just worried that it might fade the paint though over time - what do you think?
Yeah, he was straight in there, in fact he's been in there a few times!
Oh yes, you guessed it right! Super excited about it too - I want to make a start on it now the evenings are drawing in, but I need to finish decorating the bathroom first

That case is neat as can be jamin! Not a fanboy or anything, but I've always used Oakley sunglasses. Best fit and best lenses for the price. Just look here>
These fit so well!

We just put it there to try it, its being moved shortly to a 'quieter' corner so its a little more tucked away - we dont have many choices where it can go, kinda underestimated the size of the damn thing! Oh, and the signage actually lights up
I do have the best wife ever
