Reg and Ghosty, it did cross my mind...what if something should happen to me? Do you know what? leaving my collection in my will is just too easy!!

I thought it would be much more interesting to have a little bit of fun so if i knew that my days were numbered, i would take an airtight container and place as many of my HTF's as i can get in that container and then seal it, i would then bury it somewhere in the United Kingdom and then send crypric clues to all my friends as to the location of the box. I would then sit back and watch the fun begin.

Being a cheeky chap i would throw in a few red herrings, dead ends and a few confusing messages to spice things up a little, oh and maybe a booby trap or three!!

Well cheeky chappie, why wait until your numbers up! you might as well do it now, just remember, there's a lot of barren wasteland up there in your neck of the woods and only one other forum member, "Ewan", so you'd be best putting it south of the border, in with more members...

Ghosty.

Essex would be the best place ...I'll offer my services to help you find a good spot that no one will find I could even sit and watch over them until you get home to set your clues

Yes, England certainly is home to a lot of my collector friends, but there is not much wilderness beyond the wall for me to dig a big enough hole unfortunately.

I may therefore have no option but to dig in my homeland and thereafter to invite you both over the border into the wild country to hunt down my treasures.

At this juncture I should point out that It is obligitory for visitors from the soft country namely Englandshire, to wear a kilt (badly) and drink a large dram of whiskey (with no F*****n Lemonade or Coke) whilst singing "Come on Scotland Come on Scotland!!!!!" repeatedly whilst wearing a "Seeyoujimmy" hat (If you don't comply it is seen as a gross offence to my nation). I know that this will not present any problems for you two vagabonds!!!!

There are solutions to all problems on earth MM !! Im really worried about u.Reg & Ghosty are not helping your dire situation at all right now....u gonna have to keep them at bay!! U are in deep,deep trouble MM and i do feel empathy for u right now but is it gonna be sympathy later after hearing what your wife had done to u OR are u gonna be a GOOD BOY and get rid of this red beauty by sending it overseas to me for safekeeping.That way your wife will have no evidence of such a purchase or if such an expensive beauty exists in your collection with funds saved for a nice family holiday and she will not CRUCIFY u. Ooooweee.....that word is SCARY, MM and as i said im really worried about u....
By my suggestion, both u and your wife WIN and u both will continue to LIVE HAPPILY ever after......and then let Reg & Ghosty back into your life...

Arrived today a beautiful SF#8e Ford Mustang in Red with Red Interior. This is an early casting going by the wheels which are 10mm 5 slots with the tiny square slots. I just need to find an early "F" type box to go with it and it will be perfect.

I will post some images on the casting show for colour comparisons with a couple of my other SF#8's when i get the chance.

Hope you like!!

Gratulation Alex

a very nice rare Variant.

Cheers Mathias

An exceĺlent suggestion bonny lass. I will certainly give it some thought. Coincìdently the mustang was bought from a seller in South Africa so it would be like sending it home should i decide that you should be its custodier!!! .

I thought you might like it Matthias. Thanks for your comments

Just received yet another very nice roof colour trial SF#6 Merc. Unspun roof rivet and MB 6 on underside of roof.

I love this red roof colour and wish that it had gone into production as it looks great IMHO.

Hope you like.

very nice Alex is it one of Tims
