Too bad my stack of rather bad GP-10s is currently in a box under a lot of other boxes.

Oooooh, I could just take a few pictures of my stack of RC and model kit boxes (with contents) :lol: :oops: . Seeing I have close to 400 unbuild model kits... :roll:

I have an old Duratrax I got as part of an ebay lot. This is an old pic, but it's still sitting in the same place in the shed. I keep it thinking that I may do something interesting with the chassis one day. And it's holding up an old paint roller...

Hmmm? When you Google "recycling centre", this is typical of the results you get... (using just two examples)

sorry for the tongue and cheek respose, A good friend owns Royal Auto Recycling, and will take offense to his establishment being called a "junkyard", as the rows of rusty cars are basically rows of inventory not worthless rusty garbage.

If you google junk yard you might find a field full of chinese sailboats. lol that would be an interesting pic.

I see that point, but it's only inventory when the cars are in rows, and easily accessible for parts or donor cars to be removed. Piled 10-deep like in that picture, they're all but useless to anybody who doesn't have a crane handy.
