I don't want any, but sterling service @Datsuncog  keeping the Autoshite tradition alive of upsetting wives and girlfriends you’ve never met 🤣

And whilst we're on that topic...

DanBox™ touched down while I was out of the house this morning.

The parcel was in the kitchen, and eyebrows were raised, upon my return.

It's good to keep the old traditions alive, yeah?

😁Hope you like the contents mate!

[danthecapriman]

A couple arrived yesterday.

Two American barges!

Corgi Lincoln Continental limo is awesome! Looks great, nice little touches too like the textured vinyl roof and carpeted trunk/interior. No idea if the lights work but who cares when a car is that cool!

Gamda Koor Chevy in yellow cab flavour.

Both really nice!

I had one in gold and another in light blue as a kid. I know exactly where I last saw the light blue one on the way home from school, went back and it had been Twoc'd!

I think the blue version is quite rare.

Is the Lincoln the one with the telly in the back ?

Can do!

Typical that I've just dispatched your tat parcel - but I'll keep a look out for any of the others, if you're interested in them too?

So that's one El Camino and one Charger left, folks.

Yes please Tim,might as well try for the full set 😕

Yep! There’s the battery holder underneath and a light up tv inside. I’m not sure if mine does anything though? I’ll have to find a battery and try it.

[flat4alfa]

What is it showing on the TV today?

I think the one here has a clown, will check

There were interchangable screen cards to excite the mind

Bugger all on my TV. The screen cards aren’t with it. And the bulb appears to be missing.

Those Otto models are nice,but are too expensive for me.

So I definitely wouldn't have ordered a Ford Puma,& be thinking about the MG ZR which is coming out 😀

[FakeConcern]

Today this turned up from @bunglebus and I love it! Great fun having the chassis to take out and then the translucent body so different to anything else I have.

 

Somehow I also have this HW as well now...

and this...

Now this does not mean I'm collecting Hotweels, I mean to follow @flat4alfa's advice and steer clear of that, no the C4 is part of my "cars I've owned" collection

I know the rally ones are models and not toys so I shouldn't, but C4 VTS toys are few and far between and these are nice. I do have a couple of others that I don't remember the make of and I think live with my daughter (technically she owns the last of three C4s I had, now on SORN). I have also fancied a Norev, but never seen one for less than much too much!

Obviously the HW Minis are part of the Mini collection

 

[AndyW201]

Ah, I can remember back when I could resolutely say that I wasn't a Hot Wheels collector.

And here's me today having just spunked over the odds online for a Moving Parts Morry Thou and I can barely move around the loft hatch for boxes... 🤣

I've got the F1 version they did. Bloody great lump of a thing it is. 

[danthecapriman]

I’ve only got a couple of Otto’s. Not a big surprise which ones…

Got them a few years back. Really really nice models, but a bit pricey!

They look superb. The Capri number plate reminds me of Del Boy. 😎

I noticed last night the wall I left it on has finally gone, absorbed into a Berkeley development monstrosity of flats.

I have no recollection of the TV, snaffled this photo off tinternet. Clown is there along with rocket, racing car and Mexican Bandit, all the important images from life aged 7 in the 70's!

[bunglebus]

£10

[bunglebus]

I didn't buy that sat as I already have one from the same boot sake a few years back. Did get some other bits but prices were a bit salty this morning

All my TV ‘slides’ are missing. I’ve got the battery holder though, which comes out ok and isn’t broken. There doesn’t look like there’s a bulb or anything in it either.

There’s a blue Lincoln on eBay at the moment.

Salty price and missing a door but it’s not in terrible condition otherwise.

I had that back in the olden days. Mine had a boxing match on the TV. I always like the purple velvet carpet an boot liner.

[bunglebus]

Today's haul. Believe it or not I was being quite good and walked away from a fair few 50p Matchbox as I just have so many

[155V6]

Siku truck looks like a nice find

A few car boot finds today

Britains  Iveco

Dinky Roller,missing the bootlid

Corgi trailers,I think I've got a Land Rover for the horsebox somewhere

Smaller trailers

Miss_155 likes small trucks with 3 wheels

Lone Star cannon,GR8 for taking people's eyes out with matchsticks

Corgi American La France tractor,pleased to find this as I've had a trailer waiting at home for a while

Polistil - bought as I thought one of you would like it even at £5.00.

I'll get pics up later, for now here's my one boxed buy
