Collector's Garage 2008 and Velocita Garage 2008

Collector's Garage 2008

I bought this garage for RM60 (about USD16). This "V-Power Racing Collector's Garage 2008" will keep your collection away from dust. Each model has its own slot at the top of the garage's platform. You just flip the front lid upwards and place the car models at their designated "parking bays".

Velocita Garage 2008

I have another garage, the type that the Shell Stations used for display during the promotion period. I bought it from a seller at eBay. Not so sure if there is any special name given for this garage. Anyway, I just called it Velocita Garage.

What special about this garage is that it has a "Engine Start" button to produce a Ferrari engine sound. Quite disappointing since it only produces one sound. Wouldn't it be nice if it can produce the various sounds according to the car models?

All models have their own designated areas as you can see when you look at the bottom part of the garage.

There's a switch button at the battery compartment where you can switch it off when not in use. It uses three AAA batteries as shown below.

The overall make of this Velocita Garage is somehow not as what I expected. The entire body including the lid are made of plastic. I guess it was meant for the gas station outlets for display showcase, not meant to be sold to the public. So there's no need to spend so much money and make it as strong as the Collector's garage. Nonetheless, I think this garage makes a nice collection item for enthusiasts like myself.

Let's hear the sound!
