My best find of 2013 was this forum, plus my # 64 green MG 1100 superfast with box.
it and the box are ruff around the edges just like me.

Can I ask the person that won the Lipkin tank transporter, Did it come with a load? ie tank.

Tomorrow is last day for votes, there are still time

I would only vote for Nick's green 23B Caravan, which is my favorite because I bought it from his collection! I'll leave myself out of it in that category to be fair to all!. My 'Other' favorite was the Silver Plated large Coach if anyone wants to add that for me today along with their votes. I purchased one from Tim last year that is my first, but the one at the site here is just so Mint and spectacular, I love it. kwakers

Shall we do this again for this year?

Yes!.

Oh if you insist!!!

yes:) with a prize

If we're going to do this again this December, are people happy with the two categories? If not, please feel free to make alternative suggestions.

To involve other members Idris, based on the fun we had this year, would categories for different makes be worth a try? Huskys, Dinkys, Corgi, Yesteryear, King Size might expand the 'Other Toys' category and show some nice unexpected interests among some members not Lesney oriented. We have time to kick it about, everyone enjoyed last year's 'Show'. kwakers
