They sound like nice collections to have. Bows and memories - it's like a song title.

I used to have a collection of proof coins, but I sold them all, and got this...



Then, of course, I wanted to put a couple of badges on a badge bar on the front...

Now I have ended up with over 50 badges, and a vow not to buy any more... (unless I see a "must have")

Once a collector, you always have an inclination to collect

Oh, and I also have about 300 baseball style caps, which I got over a period of years, with the only rules being that I wouldn't pay for them, and I wouldn't streal them... So A lot of talking and begging went on...

Barny, now you have gone and done it haven't you?

I used to have an MG TD and then an MG TF.

I wish I had either of those now :(

That looks like a TD from the pic but in fact it could be a Morgan in which case I would be even more envious

But I do still have a sports car an old Porsche 924 Turbo :)

Ah Poddy,

I looked at buying a TF or a TD MG, But when I test drove them, you have to rev the nuts off 'em just to keep up with traffic..

So, I bought my toy, which is a replica of the MG TD, but using up to date mechanicals...
They are hand made in Malasia using 2 lt Toyota twin cam motors (as in 2002 Rav4) Celica 5 speed gearbox, disc brakes all round etc... And being a fibreglass body they don't weigh much.

Mine came with air con. (just what you need in an open topped car)...

Google "TD2000" and you can find the site...

And I'm as Jealous as about the Porsche..

At one place where I worked, there was a computer operator who desperately wanted a Porsche. He was quite determined, but somewhat under-funded.

He never gave up, but lowered his expectations until, one day, he picked up his very own 911.

And was it rough! Over 20 years old, poor condition (in almost any area you care to nominate) and questionable on safety, but he had a Porsche!

And it went .. for about a week and a half, then the gearbox packed it in.

It was sad to see him trying to deal with the $3,500 needed for a new gearbox.

Brumby,

I was very lucky getting mine, it was a one owner and owned by a granny who only drove it every 8th Sunday. So it is in A1 condition.

At the end of the year I am having a birthday party for its 30th birthday.
