New hand on deck!

Hello!
My very first time on the Forum, even though I've visited quite a lot as a browser.
My name is Håkan (sorry about that, I know that's a tough one for any non-scandinavian), and I live on the west-coast of Sweden, not far from Gothenburg.
I am 59 years old and have been collecting for about ten years now. I started out with my old RW, but have sort of drifted into Superfast and Yesteryear, as well (I think it is inevitable in the long run). I have also stumbled upon some Morestone, Corgi Dublo, Tootsie and whatever looks nice (even a Rolly Toys from Brazil). Its hard to just pass by.
I will try and upload some overall pictures of the collection that is not in boxes under the bed, but I'm not quite sure how, so bear with me (I'm not the best with computers). I also have some I really haven't seen before, where I could need some help.
It feels great to be a part of the Forum and not just sneaking around among the topics.

Best regards, Håkan (Bonzo the cat says Hi too!)

Welcome to the forum Håkan and (Bonzo!).

Looks like a very good mix of models you have collected and we look forward to seeing some single models pictured seperately when you have some spare time.

We encourage question asking here on the forum as this is how we all learn so don't be afraid that you might think any question is a silly one that we have all heard before, just ask away, OK.

Thank you everybody for the warm welcome!
I will try and upload some pictures now (if I do it wrong, please let me know. I have a Mac, and didn't quite find all the "Image"- and "Resize"-buttons).
Most cars come from the Swedish eBay, but I´ve found quite a few on the British eBay as well (and a great find on the German site!).
Here we go:
