It was good to see a lot of you and apologies to those I was too busy to properly talk to. My stall was so busy I didn't get a bite of sandwich until 1.30, so it must have been a good one. Now to build up my strength ahead of Sandown!

It was great seeing Stephen selling bucket loads of Matchbox models to Graham Hamilton, but he showed no real interest in another example of #40, the Royal Tiger Coach with Grey wheels. I thought he would be biting my arm off to get it or maybe it was just the sight of all that Money in his hand I thought I had access too... :D

As promised J, here is the gold SF#33 Miura with tow slot i found at Birmingham yesterdayt. Not bad for £1 i am sure you will agree. I have found this a really tough variation to find so i am very pleased. :D

Now that leaves me with an even tougher challenge, finding a bronze Miura with a tow slot baseplate!!! Two chances of that happening any time soon, Fat and Slim. Numi's got one from memory.

OK Guys, I am planning on being at Sandown so usual meeting in the cafe area from 10:30 am onwards.

Jason, we must try and meet up with you OK. If you can not see us at the above time, I can arrange a meeting point for you at one of my dealer friend's table at a time that suits you.
