Ummm.... A box of liquer chocolates and a diecast Ford Falcon XW GTHO Phase III in Wild Violet. Apparently there is a Lakeside Green HG Monaro on its way to go with it. Looks like I'll have to buy the Valiant E38 Charger to complete the set.

Dan, you are going to love that little carbine. I have always promised myself one and I never get around to it, but I have been shooting them since 1976, always someone else's.

Aw, Lynne's gong to be forced to buy a car to fill out a set- what suffering! I have been eyeing those Falcons for a while now. I have Holdens, so I am in the same position- ain't it great!? Has anybody ever routed a Bathurst track? Hmmm.

My youngest son designed and built a guitar for me. It started as a fancy electric, and he redesigned the entire system of pickups, phase control and selectors. I'll post pictures later, he's doing some last minute things to it. Its a proof of concept prototype that he has finished with and has moved on to a more sophisticated system he has been aiming at from the beginning. This is some great leftover for a present. Now I have to learn how to use a guitar that is not only electric, but makes 72 different kinds of sound. Like I say, I've got a lot to learn. I have always played acoustics. I only have an amp because a guy needed money and sold it to me years ago.

That's very good!

Yng beat me to it. I was going to mention Mel's Mt. Salt Panorama. But one of the other guys on Auslot also has a Bathurst based track. A bit more literal than Mel's interpretation. From recollection, Mobbzee's track runs arount the inside of his garage almost on a shelf but doesn't make the huge climb that the Mt. Panorama track actually makes. I recall seeing somewhere that scaled at 1/43 a true scaled mountain would need an overall rise an fall of 1.8 metres.

I got some good stuff, all slot cars! Let's see, I got a Mercury Cougar, Dodge Challenger, Petty Mustang, and a VW Beetle rally car all Scaley's. :)
Already have the Beetle stripped of paint as I'm doing a Cal Look Beetle with it. 8-)

[ListerStormGT]

I got the Challenger and Cougar and 2 PM controllers for the track. Things are good in slot car land. :dance:

[dreinecke]

I got the Cars of Trans-Am Racing book...Shocking, I know! Jeep stuff, and Steven Ambroses' book about Ike.

Nice stash there Lee!

[HomeRacingWorld]

Plenty of great toys from my friends and The General surprised me with this.



The one Mokid got me years ago finally died. This is a great little outfit. Yes, it's loud...I don't care. It's not just for painting and I have a compressor just for that anyway.

[Reslotted]

The Green Posey Challenger (finally), another Scaly Camaro, a book about the cruiser HMAS Sydney and vouchers for more books. :D
More than happy with that lot.

Sounds like no one got coal !! :dance:

[Tubby]

I got the red monogram Lola and the Carrera #30 Dodge Daytona. I also received an Xbox One from the coolest wife ever! I am posting on the forum with it right now! Mind blown. :D :banana-dance:

[dreinecke]
