That's exactly what I did....I bought one when they first came out because I thought it looked like an interesting platform. I found they didn't make large enough bottles of Loctite to keep it from vibrating apart, and the internal gear ratio was WAY too low to race on an oval....But I think it would be a cool looking shelf queen anyway.
The older I get, the faster I was.

I did go there then but I was pretty much out of cars by 93 and was there more for LGB trains, I'm sure I still spent some time in the car section though.

Decided since there were still bobcat decals left and all the buffalo's were used up, I should switch it up with a team Bluegroove body. It is a tight fit over the roll bar but looks much better than the beat up buffalo that was with it

Farmer, I didn't take the responses that way myself (and didn't notice it on your threads?). Its very hard to get the correct feel on the forums, especially when some posts lack emoticons or punctuation (for example: "I helped my Uncle Jack off his horse" or "i helped my uncle jack off his horse" lmfao). I think all of us enjoy seeing this stuff turn up and get into good hands.
I still share my finds I just don't find as much anymore :lol: please don't stop posting (hell at least pm me!)

I helped my Uncle Bill jack off his horse one time.

As for the posts, I like to see what other members score. It keeps the hope alive that maybe one day I'll find something that's not an overpriced whipped P.O.S.! :roll: I don't take them as rubbing it in anyone's face. Except when it IS, which is a lot of fun too! :lol:

Aww, maaaan... I managed to snag a nasty Tamiya Falcon and an even nastier Kyosho Icarus out of that case, but never anything this cool.
