Hi,
Thanks for dropping by to my page. I think I one of those thirty-something looking back on those years where big hair & big phones were not all that bad!! Someone looking to regain their childhood, a sort of mid life crisis without the Mazda MX5 & medallion!!!
The 70 & 80 were the best, kids these days don know what proper toys are, give me a Scalextric set & a Chopper bike any day!! (ahhh, memories of riding a bike, something I cant do these days!!)
I have been into cars since I was 4 years old, and still have a few from back then. I have always collected die cast & Scalextric but when I was 18 sold a lot off to buy a real car (well, a Ford anyway!!)
Since the early nineties I have been buying models to increase my collection & I started looking for Scalextric things on eBay about 2 years ago. I started off with one car, and then got the eBay bug big style!
Of course Scalextric is not my only vice, I passionate about all cars (with the exception of the 'V' word - I with Jeremy Clarkson on that one!), but I especially passionate about Renaults, more importantly my own, which are directly descended from the big man upstairs!! Respect!! ;o)) Mine are so pure, one is even white!!!
I also take part in various sports to keep fit, including the Vodka sprint drinking competition against my Sister, something I rather good at!!
I play wheelchair basketball for the Devon Otters & recently started selling on eBay too, I started selling to raise money for my new basketball chair, but after I had bought that (with the help of the local Rotary & other charities) I carried on selling as I enjoy it so much, you get to chat with all kinds of interesting & friendly folk from all over the World.
I am now trying to sell all my Corgi Collection too, as now I have a house I don have as much room to store stuff, as the loft will be boarded out & kitted out with my Scalextric gear, so there won be too much storage up there. Some more of my Scalextric cars will have to go too, I didn realise I had so many until I moved!! So help me out & bid on my items, check out my items, pleeeeasee!!!
I wanted to make my spare room a real boys toys room, PS2 (which was bought from eBay), big TV DVD player & a life size poster of Sarah Manners (OK we can all dream!), well, I have got her on one of my cars, so that will do I guess!!!!
As for the spare room; time I get a bed in there with a display unit for my cars that all the room I have, so my PS2 will have to stay in the office at work!!! Such a chore staying late at the office ;o))))
These days however my priorities have changed - I am very hapilly settled with the most wonderful woman on earth & the best 4 kids ever! Only trouble is they use my PS2 more than I do, I cant get on it!!!
