'Collections'

doh For my 14th birthday as one of my gifts I received two 18th scale die cast model cars. Since then those two cars have grown into a collection of well over 368! 'Lord Mr. Ford, what have I done?' I've got them everywhere except the bathroom and kitchen, (oopsie, there might be a couple on the microwave!laugh) well I guess 'I' could always move out and make more room! I feel like Jay Leno in miniature here. Boys and their toys right? I was curious as to how many of CS members out there are collectors and what it is that you collect? Looking forward to your answers, I'd better get going I've got a lot of cars to polish! rolling on the floor laughing

Hi Ray, funny and interesting blog laugh thumbs up

I don t collect anything now but as a kid I collected post stamps! Actually it s a family collection, we have a coin one as well.

I wish you to reach 1, 000 cars but maybe it s time to move in a new (larger) home? wink banana wave
grin Thanks Sophia! So cool collecting stamps and coins! Yeah, you're right, I think I do have to move. It's bad when you almost get run over by your own cars!rolling on the floor laughing
doh Oppsie! I meant Ariel, see I've got cars on the brain!grin
Imagine you ll meet a lady who is a collector too! You should have place for 2 collections! laugh wow wow wow wave
No worries Ray :) hug
Ray, So what where the cars you got when you where 14 ?
Thanks Ariel, I sure hope so! Collecting cars is one thing, but collecting 'dreams' with a 'curvy cutie' is quite another!peace
cool A Mercedes Roadster and a Ferrari, needless to say I was a happy kid! yay
Ray, Was it a 300SL
convertable ? Also what model Ferrari was it .
The Merc was a 450SL ,as for the Ferrari, that one was the Mondial Spyder. cool
Ray, Either one real or 1/18 would make me happy so I'm not surprise that at 14 you where same . I on ocasion stop by the hot wheels section and brows through . I sometimes find something interesting . Yes sometimes we never grow up . . . cheers
I absolutely LOVE cars! So I can fully understand exactly what you mean. I've got models from all over the world including some from 'Hot Wheels, Burago, Maisto, Autoart, and American Muscle!laugh
Ray, Do you build them also . I sometimes scratch out a particular one, not a scale copy but just an idea or perhaps a piriod piece . I have built the real ones so I do like to indulge the smaller ones sometimes .

In times past I would make a model to test an idea or a structure . I sometimes would do it to just see what it would look like before I built the real one . It just seemed more fun than a 3D cad version .
I used to in my younger years. I went into designing and building airplanes. Although now semi-retired I now have more time for hobbies. What I have been up to is racing/driving R/C Cars, man is that a whole lot of fun!yay
Good thinking. That way, you only have to pay 1/18th insurance. laugh
rolling on the floor laughing Ain't it the truth! But all these cars are killing me at the 'pump!' 368, and not one 'Prius or Volt!' crying laugh
Raytheon might meet up with a woman who collects diamonds. She could store the diamonds in Raytheon's cars. grin
laugh You're so right Huggerman, I've got a model of a Lincoln Navigator it would be just perfect for 'stashing' the ice! dancing
