Roger (Tractorboy), I could not find your 'Tractorboy's Treasures' thread, to move it into our new Gallery section. Can guide me to where it is, thank's.

Any other forum members with their own threads of their collection that want them moved into the new Gallery section.

I am not sure how this affects the thread we have showing our toy rooms which was very popular and may be it should be condensed into the new Gallery, what do you think about that.

Isn't that the one that broke down during the Queens visit and caused untold embarrassment to Mercedes?

I thought you were referring Henry Ford, who owned a Bentley and a Rolls Royce.
One day he visited his friend, driving the RR.
His friend asked him: why are you not driving a Ford?
H.F. replied: I didn't have one available so I took the next best..............

Yes, this is the car, destroyed by his Royal Highness Prince Philip himself. The passengers in the back have full control of the switches for all these gadgets found in a 600. He was so faszinated by the hydraulic window lifters, that he couldn´t stop playing around with all the switches. While pressing all switches at one time he managed to produce overpressure and a leak in the hydraulik system. Whatever gadgets you may find in a car today, this 600 had it all, but not electric. Everything was hydraulic and the leak caused the driver to stop before he would have scratched the street with the body :D

I hadn't got round to creating it - just floating the idea.
See collection thread is up and running so will get on it.
