Swine FLU??? OMG... I got a problem

[Mike Casey]

I wish I only had the swine flu, came across these old pics. They show the progression of the disease...

First picture... some time in 2002... YES, that is my whole collection at the time!

[Mike Casey]

Second set of pictures... sometime in LATE 2004... YES, that is my whole collection at the time!

[Mike Casey]

sometime last week... NO, thats not even my whole collection at this time...

My wife is driving me to the hospital in a few minutes....

Mike
And my wife thinks I'm a nut case because I own five 1/4 scale cars......she thinks that is way too many....
I'm going to show her your collection and get myself right out of trouble!.......LOL

[JeffLee65]

Hey , I spy with my little eye a quarter scale dragbike up there.... Any chance you would be will to reproduce the body?

[K]

Mike: You don't have enough stuff ..... you need at least another 7 years of solid collecting before you qualify as a serious collector!

You got waay to many.

I wouldn't like that many Id feel bad for them always sitting on a shelf not getting used It would drive me insane.

[Mike Casey]

Funny thing is there are guys with bigger collections than that out there. Those are the pictures I have been showing MY wife, but they are becomming less efective every day Also, my favorite saying of "But honey, its the holy grail of quarterscale, its very rare" has finally stopped working. I tried the "I found this car I want to buy you" last night and almost got away with it

I just wanted to post these pics because I thought they were kinda funny looking. I hardly remember having so few cars although I am sure at the time I thought I had a lot. The purpose of having so many is actually so when I retire, I have a really good amount of stuff to play with and keep me busy. The down side is thats another 30 years away...

Jefflee, I just traded away a spare body I had. BUT contact this guy fmurry8995@aol.com He originally made those bikes and I think he may still have the mold? Also for reference he makes the 34 ford fiberglass bodies and stuff and they are authorized through WCM!!

Thanks for the info...

[Juiced Drag Racing]

Great stuff....

I have a clock hobby/collection the same way.


Do you still have the Shirley Muldowney Dragster?

[Mike Casey]

yea i do. i also have 4 more racks of cars now lets see the clocks. sounds cool.

[Juiced Drag Racing]

The web site. ---> oldtickers dot com

I have MANY more clocks than what is on the web site. I will take a few photos later.
Time to reduce the inventory too.

Being that Tammy has raced and met Shirley several times, she has a fondness for all
female related racing stuff.

[Mike Casey]

I like those clocks. Pretty interesting works. I love to see the insides of them.

Since the topic was brought back up, here are some of the latest shots of my shop. Ben getting rid of a few machines to clean the place up. A lot has also migrated into the house...
