So did the Dads out there get any car-loot . . . or was it socks again?

Sorry James, I'd forgotten you had a pit-crew.

Have you got a photo of that most unusual kiddie-seat installation I've ever seen? hehe

That is in my most untidy garage at home. It's a coin operated ride-on that I've been having "restored" panel & painted etc. Still a few bits to go and then of to sit outside our cafe'. $1 a ride and all proceeds to our local non-profit groups etc. I've got a bit of a Porsche theme going at the cafe and this will top it off nicely.

No 917/30's. Up until now I have only collected road versions of the Porsches not race so the collection wouldn't get out of hand. I'm getting to the end of the easier models and will now start getting the race versions like the 917/30 that were never released as a road going car. Like this one here www.trademe.co.nz/Toys-models/Die-casts/Minichamps/auction-65330304.htm and also the Pink Pig http://cgi.ebay.com/Minichamps-1971-P
I still have plenty of other models to get but I'm in no rush and just buy them as I see them. I would love to get the Pocher 1/8 993 and also the working 911 engine but they are both big dollars!!!

It's his shout.... although, sadly, I'm thinking that this means his plans to have a S1 111S by the time he's thirty may have evaporated..... thankfully he'll always have mine at his disposal if he ever feels like going for a blat

And Izza... I sincerely hope that you're going to be getting that 205Mi16 back on the road sometime in the next year or two... she gets her baby and you get your baby back!

Fantastic Roger. I think you win.

Did you know that if someone asks you how you want your eggs . . . "Meringued" will get you the evil eye, and "Benedicted" will get a pan thrown at your head. hehe
