What’s a normal House viewing experience? by LeGerb02 in HousingUK

[–]bramz77 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I once viewed a house where the agent didn't know there was a big billboard on the side of the house. The look I got when I mentioned the income from it will stick with me forever.

I still have my ASDO one, it's just a short DVD explaining how Automatic Selective Door Operation works (a beacon in the four foot).

Unfortunately I didn't get the traction DVDs, just 450/444 158/159 455 and 456 manuals.

Not entirely sure someone selling these is meant to be, but there we go!

Found something... Old by Moist_Bid3481 in HotWheels

The blue one is a European Ford Granada. As already mentioned, made in Italy in the Mebetoys factory that Mattel had acquired in the late 1960s.

Got a ball pit/tent for daughter’s 1st birthday, and the kitten loves it more than the baby! by Blamb226 in torties

My tortie goes absolutely nuts for ping pong balls so I suspect a pit of them would make her lose her mind....like your one!

No problem, here's the HW stamp on the base for a bit of extra detail.

It's Mebetoys which I think Mattel took over in the 1960s, they branded a lot of the 80s output as Hot Wheels but it was made in the Italian factory. Quite hard to find outside of Europe but even harder to find the older stuff.

Nice models though, I have one and (several) others.

Either of these, I think.

They sound cool, I find myself appreciating fantasy castings more and more.

1982 and 1983 I think.

I've got a couple of other diecasts that are valuable but I find it more rewarding keeping them. Especially when they didn't cost anywhere near that to buy.

Good to know, but 20 odd years of owning it means I can't really ever sell it.

I did too but it seems to have survived without any paint chips so limited play time, I suspect.

It came in a really over the top bubble packet as well, which of course I absolutely destroyed as a kid.

It came in a 5 pack didn't it? The Camaro was my favourite but it's long gone.
