Before & After...

Here are some before and after shots of my collection with the new additions that Gus gave me... One of the coolest things i now own as an original, actual, real shift knob from a Ferrari... The one he gave me is the one from his car; it's the one that came with the car from the factory... Very cool stuff... Other shots include other parts of my collection...

One of these days i'll sit down and take a picture of every car individually and post all of those pictures...

Thanks a lot, Gus...!

 

Ooops...! Forgot the most important picture...!

 

Thanks, Chris... That's the 1:24 scale F40 that Gus gave me... i have a pretty awesome 1:24 collection... Not big, but very select...


Yes, Red, i'm still in the market... Got your IM yesterday, but by the time i responded, you were gone... Get anything else in yet...?


Thanks, Jerry, Gus & K5... Hey, K5, i'll take some detailed snaps of the GT1 and post them next week...


Next week, i'll also be posting before and afters of my literature collection - wait 'til you see the stuff Gus gave me in the way of books, magazines, articles and brochures...! i could put Barnes & Noble outta business...!!!

 

Mule, those cars are either 1:24 or 1:18, i'm not sure; they don't say and it's hard to tell with F1 cars...

Those are actually really rare cars (to me, at least)... There used to be a candy store (now out of business) in a mall not too far from here; they used to have this small, nondescript, turning shelf of smaller scale cars that they sold... Not their money-maker, by any means... Just something to make the parents spend more money when the little kids saw it... However, i always went in there and checked the shelves to see what they had; i actually picked up some pretty cool stuff from, like a 1:24 Murcielago among other things... But i also got those race cars from them... i'm pretty sure, whoever makes those racecars, made them in a set of 6; i bought them one at a time and i only have 5... i don't think i'll ever get the last one i need...

They have two different #1 cars, two different #2 cars and two different #3 cars; i'm missing one of the #3 cars; i have the others... The advertisements on them are fake, i think, the wheels are rubber, the cars are metal; they're just cool, 'cause they're racecars and i like racecars... i've never seen them anywhere else before or since, so they're "rare" to me... Also, they add more color to the "racing dresser" portion the collection...

 

LMAO...! Ouch... The apartment came furnished... It's furniture and a roof over my head that i can actually afford, so i don't complain about it...

 

Hey, fuggaboutit...! Squeeze it easy, sleazy...


William, you can never have too much...!

 

Cabinet furniture will come down the road in a year or so...

Maybe two or three years...

 

Thanks, ETW...

Omar, ETW is right; it's a shift knob... It's the original shift knob from Gus' 328...
