I was thinking of going to the Chipping Norton toy fair but chose the easier event to get to and was pleasantly surprised when this Gentleman standing next to me mentioned my name, which I confirmed and then he said "Ghosthunter", again I confirmed this and it was Mr "Johnboy", a bloody decent chap I might say.
Tim was not there on this occasion.

It was great to meet you finally Ghosty. We had a nice interesting chat over a cup of tea and I could have stayed a lot longer but I had to go a little early. For those of you that haven't yet met Ghosty, he's a thoroughly likeable and knowledgeable chap. We did miss Tim and Reg, maybe next time boys.

In an earlier post, "Ritchie" was asking..."Is there any good suggestion for flipping it back to normal position without opening the box?"
I am afraid there is no easy way to do this, you just have to keep trying to 'Flick' it back into landing on it's wheels by constantly playing with the box. I had a 'Yesteryear' model in a sealed 'Blister Card' packaging that suffered the same and not only that the plastic seat had come out. Eventually I got it on it's wheels and managed to get the seat in the right place so it now looks undisturbed. I placed a big sticky label on the blister stating this package MUST NOT BE INVERTED !!

Was that a wise move Ghosty? How are you going to remove that 'BIG STICKY LABEL' without damaging the blister or leaving glue residue?

The other big sticker says not to place big sticky labels that leave a residue on this blister...

ok, I'm going have the 2 labels covering both the front and back windows of the box. In this case I don't even need to bother flipping the car back to normal position
