I started out buying fairly randomly, just picking up stuff I liked, and rapidly got to 100 cars. Then I ended up being out of work for 6 months, which in some ways turned out to be a good thing. I got rid of the poor-running stuff (non-mag on a wood track) and now only buy around 4 cars per year. Most of my Fly cars and alot of my Scaleys disappeared during the purge, and now I tend to buy only NSR and Slot It. I like to buy cars that are a bit unusual, or I get resin kits and build them up myself. I also usually buy in pairs, to ensure my cars have suitable running mates. My wish list from here is a pair from Mr. Slotcar and I'd really like to get another pair from MTR32.
I have way too many interests so I can't really put a bunch of money into just Slotting. I recently bought my first DSLR (Nikon D7000), have a motorcycle to keep running, and a small music studio in my office with a 24 channel board and a bunch of keyboards. Most of the stuff is old, the mixer needs replacing as soon as I can, and all of that requires money.
I still have around 100 cars, but generally buy and sell to keep the number around 100. My wife is aware of everything I buy, they're sitting in cabinets for all to see anytime they want to.
