Darn you guys, I think you may have gotten me addicted to another casting haha. Snagged this one for a few bucks on eBay.

Well, I certainly approve of your latest find, a nice Silver Shadow.

Pilot just so you know, all the cool kids collect regular wheels so you've made a good choice

All the cool kids indeed
Some GREAT finds arrived today!
From one eBay seller, I got these two 24c's and a Ferrari.

You can't tell from the photo (of course), but I think I may have stumbled upon another blue-green Ferrari! It's a very interesting shade, can't wait to get back to Kentucky and compare it with the rest of my #75s. It's a very light green, but has a definitive shade of blue to it in some light settings. We shall see...
Oh and the seller threw this in for free!

And this one, I'm rather excited to have. I have some #10 pipe truck transitionals at home, I might rob the black plastic piece from one of them.. Less than $15 total for all 5 of these cars! Not bad..

Dear MBXPilot, these two 24c Rolls Royces are the worst I have ever seen.
I think it is better to send them to me so that I can dispose of them soonest.
And as you are a member of this forum I will do that free of charge this time
