Welcome, and as Nick sez, lots of folks from the USA are here as well as from all over the world. Be sure and Visit Tinman's Toybox and share some of your restorations with us.
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."

Greetings all! About a year ago, I started collecting diecast. I wanted to purchase the Matchbox cars that I had back in the good ol' days (of my youth!) :lol: Along the way, I discovered Nick Jones' site...and I was amazed! I never realized that there were so many variations of these little vehicles made by Lesney! What fun! So as I log my Matchbox purchases on my computer list, I list the vehicle #, as well as the code! Most of my Matchbox finds have come from eBay, as well as from hobby shops and thrift stores. I'm really enjoying this forum, and learning from you all as well!

Hi Frank, Welcome to the forum. Do you own a Roadrunner?. I ask because it is my all time favourite car.

Hi Nick! Thanks for the welcome! The Roadrunner is my all time favorite car as well! Unfortunately, I've never had the pleasure to own one. On a good note, I have been building up a nice collection of die cast Roadrunner/GTX/Satellite cars.This will have to do for now. Perhaps someday...
