Desert Island Diecast

I thought it might be interesting to have the members consider this.........

You are washed up on desert island with no chance of rescue, you are allowed to take 5 Matchbox models onto the island with you. Which 5 models would you take?

Perhaps Nick or one of the other moderators could set up a voting system to see what is the most popular model although i appreciate that this might prove to be a bit difficult to set up with so many RW, SF MOY etc etc models to cover.

In the meantime we could maybe just state which models you would take with you to display next to your coconut tree.

I am off to think of mine.

Good question, motorman.
On the deserted island with only:
February, March, April, May and June model.
from the original Matchbox Calendar Girl 2006.
And maybe even the 5a bus to transport the girls on the island.
