M is for Mine's Better Than Yours!

Like all travelling Toy Men, the Santa's like to get together at the annual corporate shindig and works 'Do' in Honolulu and compare wheels (or runners), our roving reporter was lucky enough to catch the action in the car-park and report back to Small Scale World.

The Festival Santa is explaining patiently to the bus-boy that the colour this season is red; the bus-boy is not impressed and points out to Mr. Clause that not only is his very similar re. spec's, but coming from Hong Kong - as it does - was considerably cheaper, and everyone in the motor sledge-trade knows blue is easier to clean!

Indeed: one of the Santa's has a red one from Hong Kong himself! Other's; having lived life slightly further 'out there', have purchased their machines from a dodgy-dealer 'Mick the Minty Motor Man' in Macau for the softer ride afforded by the PVC undercarriage.

Festival Santa insisted his has the better build quality and utilising the very best in ICI Alkathene technology - as it does - has the softest, smoothest ride!

Sadly, as everyone was going home a cross-wind squall swept the resort car-park, catching the annual delivery-target, winners-parade, broadside, leaving them all looking like the tin-ducks in a shooting-arcade, so - good or bad - your presents might be delayed this year!
