Re: What code is my 21D?

Squid, how long have you been a member here? I bought several cars from you back in the late 90s but then your page disappeared. I assume you are the same Squid.

Re: Morris Minor: reunited.

Re: Morris Minor: reunited.

That's why I keep so many models, sentimental value, not for their Monetary value. Ghosthunter. I hear ya. Even the ones that I buy now for my collection are sentimental in a sense, they're usually ones that I coveted but never had as a kid, ones that I cherished but lost, or ones that I loved but ...

Re: Morris Minor: reunited.

Now if I could just find my no. 13 Dodge wrecker truck, the one with the green cab and the yellow bed... probably in the same place as my Greyhound bus with the clear windows, lol. Actually I am missing a no. 13 Dodge wrecker but not in that color scheme. I hoped it would be with the Morris. But I a...

Morris Minor: reunited.

I thought I'd lost this little bugger. I hadn't seen it in years but recently while going through some of my stuff in the cellar I found it. This time I'll put it with the rest of my collection where it belongs.

Re: "Loose Wheels" Is there a fix?

Tinman sez I had also heard about plastic interiors that crumble and fall apart. A couple of years ago, I experienced this first hand. Here's the interior I shook out of a 53b Mercedes. The model was otherwise mint and now it's a mint model with no interior. This was an unsettling discovery.  Holy ...

Re: Discovery Channel UK restore a Snow Trac
