I have one of the miniature Molteni riders, and a small Matchbox-type VW Bus painted with the Team CINZANO colors. That's the extent of my miniature racer collection. And the figures are not plastic, they're lead, or some other heavy material...but folks, I gotta tell ya...(like George Carlin says), if you want to see the absolutely COOLEST collection of miniature racers, team vehicles, spectators, and road signs, all of the highest quality, you have to see Brett Horton's collection that he usually has displayed on a glass table in his museum/office in downtown San Francisco.

Brett, feel free to chime in here...how many figures and vehicles exactly do you have in the "Tour de France" procession on your coffee table??? That has to be one of the neatest things I've seen. Brett might be making a trip to the Cirque this year, and if he does, he simply MUST bring along that collection.
