my collecting has two things going on...my collecting funds are small these days and stuff left to collect are the rare pieces and some are just expensive

but i was able to get some cool stuff with my limited funds...like #38 honda motorcyles...whenever i see one i can get cheap i get it...so i think im on the side of more motor bikes than trailers...so this frees me up to by trailers that are harder to find...like the regular wheel trailer with out the decal/label guide line or superfast trailers with the small axle clips...also want to get a couple more of the earliest trailers without any ejector rings...but i also want to find a motor bike with out the die number on the kick stand tab...saw two...one is in austrailia with shipping to high for me to justify buying and same goes for one in the UK i saw...his price is too high and the shipping is too

i also am trying to collect some redlines hot wheels...but i wont talk about them as some guys loathe them :lol: and talk about expensive...ok enough of that

so here are the best i was able to get...the MP9 trailer was deliver today!

i have acquired different lots over the years and one time i got a cab and then trailer...and was finally able to get the second trailer and dollie to make the MP9 complete
Image

here it is complete...the one trailer is an earlier version but thats ok with me...i see trucks pulling trailers that dont match all the time
Image

#14 iso grifo F type box...no model...crazy how cheap this was in a buy it now...the prize of my collecting of the year for matchbox..i got this saturday...talk about pushing the limit of the year huh haha!
Image

some honorable mentions...been trying to get these two for some time and they were in an auction together and cheap...DAF car transporter and the racing car transporter with reverse decals
Image

decal facing backwards...funny thing about this...the other side is the right way round

Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.
