Latest buys which I'm pretty pleased about, a Tri-ang lorry:
and a one-off Leyland truck made from heavy gauge steel, working sprung suspension and rather heavy
tell self: must stop buying toys, must stop buying toys, must stop buying toys, must stop buying toys, must stop buying toys
Anyone else 'invested' in any nice toys lately?

Hi
Looks a nice toy!! Looks real original, are you going to do any remedial work to it?
I have allways wanted to convert a pedal car, or scratch build a pedal car with a small engine, a child hood dream that never came true for me!
Cheers

Cheers for sharing it!

YOU must stop buying toys, YOU must stop buying toys, YOU must stop buying toys, YOU must stop buying toys, YOU must stop buying toys....
WARNING! Pay no heed to this advice! Take it from someone who KNOWS!
I TRIED to stop buying toys once. It was a disaster. I went into with-drawl. My condition worsened. I ended up spending MORE, and had to double the garage from 500 to 1000 square feet. For a while, I didn`t think I was going to make it. Thank GOD my wife was able to help talk me down.....averting a physical breakdown, and financial ruin.
Now I`m back to my previous levels of "collector addiction", and am able to keep it under control with only a few purchases a month.
PLEASE be careful with the "cold turkey" method. If you MUST cut back, then just focus on those "special" pieces.....but do not just STOP all together, or you WILL be sorry.
We`re here for you, man! |
