It's got '......a large friction.....' so it must be good.  :o

Check this.
Just...check it.
I'll have two please.
Or maybe not.
But ask first if the seller offers combined shipping - it will be cheaper! ;D ;D ;D

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

I belong to a model car club.
One of the other members collects these tinplate toys.
He has a truck with an excavator mounted on the back which is one of 4 remaining in the world.
The other 3 are in museums.
His has missing parts but he still paid $AU17,000 for it...
Yes, that's right, 17 and 3 zeros.  I kid you not.  He brought it to a meeting and let us play with it.
When asked what his wife thought he said "she wasn't happy.  The Bently needed a new radiator that month as well..."

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Strewth! Even the Bentley radiator wouldn't have cost THAT much!  :o

I often wonder why women have such a strange sense of priorities...  ;D ;D

I can't be sure but I suspect this is from the Gatwick Aviation Museum collection, certainly the blue trolley looks identical. Jet Art Aviation have probably taken it, cleaned it up and are selling for a profit.

This one is the real knockout.. £100,000  :o

And that price has '.....has been slashed and is now priced to sell in the current financial market....'  :o

The postage for that little item is a cool U$5,000.00 though I can't see the postman delivering that!

Considering the season, I'd expect it comes gift wrapped at no extra charge?  ;D ;D
