I'm totally back to normal now. I was happy to get the prednisone and feel 15 years younger this week. :-D

Wow, Dave! I’ve never seen such a large collection of S2000s...it’s amazing! Do you have a MGA collection too?
Less than a dozen MGA's. Years back I had an MG collection that I sold to serious collector and made enough $ to buy my youngest daughter an actual car. I still have a rather large 1/24th scale collection of sports car and a large collection of small 1/64th scale cars from the 50s & 60s.
Post some photos of the others, Dave. I would like to see your collection.

Ok, since you asked……..

Some of the 1/24th scale



I do have a few 1/18th scale – for car’s that a real personal attachment



Here’s a few of the 1/64th scale



And although I sold an entire MG collection, it seems I picked a few up since



Since it seems I have a few more models than room, I have a couple drawers filled in the basement and more in the garage.

^^ You have an amazing collection of historic and nostalgic cars. I particularly like the Mercedes 300 SLR driven by Sterling Moss. There are some nice award plaques for the real car, too. Very nice!.

Thank you, Leslie. It wasn't painful once the bee sting quit hurting, after about 3 hours. Uncomfortable, yes, but not painful.

Thanks. I love the story that goes with that model #722. I met Stirling (in fact I have his autograph on a picture taken in the late 50s when he was employed by BMC). It shows him climbing into an MGA (imagine that) at airfield in Canada where he was taking magazine reporters for fast laps to promote the car.

The granddaughter wanted me to take some pics of her and her friend......................on railroad tracks. Sure, why not? Not sure I was being a responsible grandparent, taking pics on a RR track.

Here are two of the "collection". She wants me to make posters for her and her friend for Christmas. Also converted a few to B&W and I like the look.





Cranberry harvest time in our area. As it happened the guy who owns the bog also works for a company that does business with the company I work for. Small world.


This bog was a pretty site.


I hope some of our lurkers will also post pics here. Let's see what you are up to!

Lainey, I really like the pictures of your granddaughter and her friend.

That is neat that she asked you to take those photos. You are a grandma.

I haven't been on much recently, but have enjoyed the last month of pics from Lainey, Gary and others.
