About Me

No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

R is for Racing Car Transporter

This is a little peach, but only because it comes with two smaller racing cars, and I have a sub-collection (or branch of the main collection) of small scale racing cars, so envied these; also shot on Adrian's Stand a while back and branded to Fairylite who imported a lot of Hong Kong's larger plastic vehicles.

Otherwise 'mint' . . .  someone has removed the two larger stickers; as it's been done very neatly on both sides, despite the other stickers being still firmly established I suspect there was a reason for it but what that reason was I/we/one can only guess at, but feel the lorry may have escaped a re-paint by the skin of its teeth!

Box . . . is a box is a box!

Racing cars! I didn't photograph the under-plate, just forgot . . . I think? If Adrian still has it I'll try to remember to look for it at the show yesterday, (but in three days time as I publish this) and add the image here with any note. I have a feeling it may have been blank though as I did photograph tomorrow's post's base-plate at the same time?
