I still have my Bentley, Aston DB5 and Austin Cambridge Driving School car somewhere in the archives in excellent boxed condition (I hope!) !! I just had a quick look on ebay to see how much they are going for and here is what I found:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393246126860 ... SwSwVgd1nN

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/333913253915 ... SwcMNgRTEr

Not sure what the lister was talking about with Left Hand Drive in the title, maybe a selling ploy!!

Anyway it appears I may now have two legacies to leave my kids!! :-D

The FCF had a thread on such matters in August 2019, I thought it must have been before you joined-up again Mick. No contribution from your good self and reasonably up your street :-D Must have been in your shy and retiring period while getting to know the assembled throng. :-D
Here's a contribution from Marc from that thread

The SPV (Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle)

and whose collection wouldn't be complete without Thunderbird 2 (with thunderbird 4 inside)

...and a little clip to showcase 2 of them...

That's where I got my love of the original Citroen DS from - Thunderbird 2!

I rejoined in May 2019 Neil and in my 'Your Posts' it seems my first contribution to the OTCL was in June so I must have missed that thread altogether. As you say it is right up my street so I imagine it was before I'd got my brain in gear with thread subscribing etc. Probably for the best as I may have come over as a bit of a diecast nut at the time. I might get away with it a little better now, not that I'm inclined to revive the thread though! :-D

First daylight visit of our lodger this evening, the picture is not great I'm afraid but you can see Herbert well enough to identify him :-D

I have never seen a hedgehog here in over 50 years although we are in the back of beyond. When we lived in Kent, Bromley area we had loads of them.

We seem to have loads around here :) Happily, still a very common sight...

Far too many sightings are still in the form of roadkill though 😥

I ran past one of Paggers' prettier buildings this morning - Lovat Bank 🙂

I believe it may have some connection to the famous Taylors Mustard company who used to be based in the town.

I'm sure the Forum Sleuths will soon fill the gaps in my knowledge ;) :)

One of the very few questions I could have answered without cheating. Had I seen it earlier of course.
I can almost see the Wear from here.

Now I wonder if this years winner is related, I think he's the second Gibson to have won it, one Irish and now a Scot.

I liked him, pleased for him that he won, by far the favourite, and he came up with the goods.

Heading into town today I was nearly deafened by the sound of birdsong. My God, but a wren is LOUD! I also took a nice shot of a well populated flower bed.
