WOW! The long lost middle windshield post!!! With the classic #34 decals.
This is a huge deal!
In the Service crew 5 pack

If I do say so myself. I’ve done a lot of work on the house recently. Well, one room. But it can be a lot of work for an old retiree, so I’ve found that a couple hour break at the indoor outdoor flea and vacuum repair was in order.
And I found a thing...:

I found myself in the vicinity of a Savers store while car shopping in the Nutmeg State this afternoon, and I never miss an opportunity. Thing is, this was a last minute decision to go, and something told me to blah blah blah

My Aussie friend in Queensland is looking for the green Hot Wheels Classics VW Beetle, like this BUT with a black interior.

If a casting has been out in a color before, say...light blue, and it shows up in that color again, is it a recolor...? I’m looking at you Type 181...although, if memory serves, the first one had a black top.

I could tell that I’d missed out on new stuff, but I’m happy enough to have found these.

I’m sorting out cars to banish from my basement, trying to find all the loose cars that don’t fit my plans anymore. I remember buying this Jaguar XJ220 from a vendor without noticing that it had been sat upon by a previous caretaker, and being annoyed when I did. I never gave it a second look after that.

I discovered a new flea market while out car shopping in CT. Luckily, I found these seven diecast at the first vendor I stopped at. Luckily not just for the decent finds, but because my skeletal components had had enough. I think this is finally the end of my field trips. Right at the start of the season too! I won’t…

Just checking on what’s new:

I’m getting rid of as much cardboard as I can while at the same time, saving 
good cars from being harvested for their tires. First Round:

The great cardboard banishment has begun. I’m too old to babysit cards.
First, and coincidentally, I promised to save cars from my drill from now on, so there will be one or two more Save The Wheels posts before I move on to the carded HWs.
So, the premiere lot is the 13 Matchbox Premiere Cars left. The bulk deal is over…

Unearthed in the furthest corners of the basement.

Thank you Muscle-GTA. My apologies for taking so long to post your RAOK work. (And for the bad lighting I’m still using...)
This is the Porsche 959 M-GTA/Alex made for me.
Last year...
We’d exchanged emails over the “birthing” of the car, going through different colors, etc. Seeing his work was one of the compelling…

As I re-discover these lost projects in the dark corners and shadowed recesses of my work space, I plan to share them as a kind of kick-in-the-ass to force myself to get moving on them.

But not what I was looking for on my way home from dining out with friends last night.
But, I didn’t pick up even ONE as a wheel donor, so, I’m getting better.

Today was my first real trip back to the indoor/outdoor flea market in quite a while. I found a nice stash of old Speed Wheels on cards, some will stay some will go, and a really nice assortment of loose cars!
