Every so often those of us who like taking a chance end up with an item of such bad quality or in a complete state of unrepairableness.
Here is one I got this week.So full of the dreaded metal fatigue that I daren't even approach the stripping tank with it or use any of it for spare parts...Lets see yours and be prepared for someone to jump in and make you an offer..

I have discovered one aspect about myself that makes me think I could become a hoarder. I have a difficult time tossing certain things in the trash. It has to be beyond all hope for certain things and even then I hold onto them for longer than I should.

Encase it in Lucite and use it as a paperweight on your desk.

You should have chosen a pre-war Dinky as it eventually would "balloon up" all by itself

By choice I do not own any pre-war Dinky Rolls-Royce or Bentley as I would hate to see my investment just destroy itself in front of my eyes.
